Tsubaki’s G8 Series Lambda chain is suitable for food production environments.
Designed with an oil-impregnated bush, the chain is internally lubricated meaning it benefits from a long operating life without requiring additional maintenance or external lubrication. To further benefit hygiene critical applications, the sixth-generation chain is supplied as standard with a food-grade lubricant impregnated bush which is claimed will increase the chain wear life by 30%.
By eliminating external lubrication the roller chain is kept a lot cleaner, meaning that it is far easier to specify and install in areas with strict hygiene regulations in place. While the chain does need some form of lubrication to avoid premature wear, in the case of Lambda chain microscopic pores in the seamless sintered bush are vacuum filled and the lubricant is held in place where it’s needed most.
While the majority of the lubricant is held in place, it is inevitable that a small amount will always migrate to the surface of the chain, meaning that it must be deemed suitable for use within the food industry. Food-grade lubricant has always been available with Lambda chain, but now, for the first time, it is supplied as standard.
This lubricant now meets all NSF-H1 requirements so can be used in situations where there is the possibility of incidental contact with food.
Lambda chain can be used in temperatures from -10 up to 150°C and a heat-resistant Lambda is available on request that can be used in temperatures up to 230°C.
