The long-length equipment facilitates the replacement of large sprockets, contributing to a reduction in equipment downtime.
Large conveyor sprocket Smart Replaceable series
overview
The large conveyor sprocket Smart Replaceable series was adopted for a conveyor that transports long steel frames by arranging multiple conveyor chains in parallel horizontally and synchronizing the chain positions of each row.
Previously, replacing sprockets was time-consuming due to the arrangement of multiple sprockets horizontally, but the adoption of divisible sprockets has shortened the replacement process.
Problem
In long-length equipment such as steel frame conveyor belts, multiple sprockets are arranged on a single shaft. Therefore, when replacing sprockets, especially in the middle section, it is sometimes necessary to remove the sprockets at the ends, which makes the work time-consuming.
The labor time required for sprocket replacement was increasing, resulting in longer equipment downtime.
Adopted products
Large conveyor sprocket Smart Replaceable series, split type
Smart Replaceable Series is a sprocket with a tooth-replaceable structure for Large size conveyor chain.
Since only the tooth portion can be replaced without removing the shaft, the burden of replacement work is reduced.
Efficient maintenance is possible even under conditions where replacement was previously time-consuming, such as for equipment installed at high altitudes or equipment using multiple panels.
Benefits of adopting the product
The large conveyor sprocket Smart Replaceable series employs a split-type design, allowing sprocket replacement work to be limited to only the necessary parts.
The split type allows the sprocket (tooth and hub sections) to be divided into two parts, eliminating the need to remove sprockets other than the replacement section or cut the shaft, thus contributing to reduced equipment downtime.
