In food transport conveyors, lubrication of the chain contributes to reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring stable operation.
Lambda Small size conveyor chain
overview
Lambda Chain were adopted as conveyor chains that can be used Lube-free in chocolate cooling conveyors.
Because Lambda Chain does not require additional lubrication, it is easier to keep the chain clean during operation, contributing to a reduction in the risk of oil splattering and adhering to chocolate and surrounding equipment.
Furthermore, it suppressed chain bending defects and wear elongation, contributing to the stable operation of the equipment.
Problem
In chocolate cooling conveyors, chocolate and lubricating oil adhering to the chain can mix and solidify on the chain surface.
As a result, the area around the chain could become unsanitary, potentially negatively impacting the product. In particular, since this equipment is used to transport food, it was necessary to minimize the impact on hygiene due to the scattering and adhesion of lubricating oil.
Furthermore, if the lubricant mixes with the chocolate components and solidifies, it becomes difficult for the oil to reach the areas that need lubrication, preventing it from performing its intended lubrication function and potentially leading to poor chain flexibility and wear.
If bending problems occur, it can lead to poor chain movement and unstable transport.
Furthermore, as wear and stretching progress, the frequency of chain tension adjustments and replacements increases, leading to increased maintenance workload and longer line downtime.
Adopted products
Lambda Small size conveyor chain
Thanks to special oil-impregnated bush, Lambda Chain can be used for a long time Lube-free.
Both the inner and outer plates are blackened to give them some corrosion resistance and a luxurious finish.
Because it uses NSF H1 compliant lubricant, it can also be used in food processing machinery.
*NSF H1 is a standard defined by NSF, meaning "a lubricant that can be used in areas where accidental contact with food may occur."
Benefits of adopting the product
Lambda Chain, which employs special oil-impregnated bush, can be used without additional lubrication, making it easier to suppress oil adhesion and splashing onto the chain.
Furthermore, since Lambda Chain uses NSF H1 compliant lubricant, it is also suitable for food processing machinery applications, making it easier to maintain a clean state and ensuring hygiene in the equipment.
Furthermore, because it is easier to maintain performance even when used without additional lubrication, bending defects and wear elongation can be suppressed, contributing to the stable operation of the equipment.
