As technology improves, mills of all kinds are becoming more efficient and thus requiring less operating staff. This is also a trend for the palm oil industry, where FFB conveyors, Continuous Cooker conveyors and SFB conveyors are crucial for the process of palm oil production. These conveyors must provide optimal operation, and thanks to the following reasons, Tsubaki RF706SP-R is the solution for dependable operation with minimal maintenance.
Stronger Bushes
Bush performance has been increased 30% compared to competitor’s chains.
Tougher Link Plates
Precise alloy steel fabrication and expertly-controlled heat treatment ensures greater shock load under severe operating conditions.
Stronger Pin
Competitor’s riveted pins have soft portions around the riveted head due to decarburization, effectively reducing the strength of the entire chain. On the other hand, Tsubaki cotter pins have stable surface hardness throughout.
Easy Maintenance
Cutting and joining chain is easier, especially when removing just a few links and rejoining when chain is stretched. Grinders are always required for riveted chain. Furthermore, the T-head cotter keys are located inward of the conveyor, making it even easier to install the chain. The T-head cotter keys are optimally designed so that they face the horizontal chain pitch line, lowering the chances of them interfering with guides and casings.
Options Available For Heavy Duty & Corrosive Applications
Long distance incline conveyors usually have sloppy rollers. Tsubaki RF706SP-R-D, which is a durable-type model, can increase chain life with its specially designed bush and roller. In corrosive conditions such as Sterilized Fruit Bunch conveyors. We recommend Tsubaki RF706SP-R-ST which has specially designed corrosion resistant bushes.
