Do you have problems with curved belt conveyance, such as "frayed edges" and "time-consuming maintenance," or with metal mesh belts, such as "metal powder generation" and "wanting to avoid metal contact"?

In response to customer requests, Tsubaki has added a new Plastic modular chain to its lineup for curved conveyance.

Plastic modular chain features such as easy maintenance with partial repairs and an attachment to prevent meandering, enabling efficient conveyance in a variety of curved layouts, including 90-degree, 180-degree, and S-curve layouts.
