Tsubaki innovations on show at Anuga FoodTec, 2018
16/03/2018 Tsubaki UK Ltd
Anuga FoodTec is one of the most important exhibitions for the global food industry. As the only trade fair in the world that covers all aspects of food production, it's an opportunity for manufacturers to demonstrate their capabilities to a wide audience. Tsubaki is using the opportunity to demonstrate a wide range of transmission chain products that have been designed to prolong operating life and improve profitability in almost any food application.Visit Tsubakimoto Europe B.V. in Hall 8.1, Booth E-058, at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne: 20th - 23rd March, 2018
Tsubaki has developed a number of engineered chain solutions which provide for the precise hygiene requirements of both food processing and packaging; while also offering minimal wear, reduced maintenance and increased productivity. On display at the event will be the latest generation Lambda lube-free chain as well as Tsubaki's Traypacker solution and the corrosion resistant Neptune chain.
The latest generation of Tsubaki's lube-free RS Lambda chain is particularly suited for conveyor applications where the product may be at risk of contamination from contact with the chain. The design incorporates internally lubricated sintered bushes, the pores of which are vacuum filled with NSF-H1 food grade lubricant. The chain runs 'dry to the touch' and requires no additional lubrication throughout its life, yet provides a significant increase in wear-life performance.
Tsubaki has developed the Lambda concept a stage further to specialise it for retrofitting to tray packaging machinery widely used in the food and beverage industry. On such machines, where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount, standard lubricated chain can cause contamination and may become chocked with dust and other particles, rendering the lubrication ineffective.
The Lambda chain has a consistent internal lubrication, it therefore combats the risks of uneven wear and elongation amongst the partner chains. Combined with Tsubaki's unique Match and Tag service, this delivers an unparalleled operating life for the application. Depending on the needs of the application the chain can be fitted with pushers or other attachments via an extended pin.
For wash down environments and other applications with harsh environments, the Neptune chain features high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. The chain benefits from a ground breaking, two-layer surface treatment that combines protection against corrosive environments with maximised chain strength. A top coat of resin protects against physical impact and corrosive agents, while a base coating prevents oxidisation from reaching the chain. The coatings are applied prior to chain assembly to ensure that each component is completely coated, so that Neptune can be used in wet environments or even underwater.
Tsubaki prides itself on its ability to apply its engineering expertise to its customers' needs. Tsubaki can combine many of its technologies and design bespoke solutions that exceed the expectations of manufacturers within the food industry.
