Product catalog summary
Introduction
Tsubaki introduces the ALF Advanced Low Friction / Wear Resistant Series Top Chain, designed for dry running applications, particularly in beverage production lines where lubricant use is minimized.
Applications
  • Caser lines where lubricants cannot be used.
  • Inspection lines before caser lines using dry lubricants.
  • High-speed single-row conveyors such as single filers, inspection lines, and printing lines.
Advantages
  • Unique material compounded with silicone lubricant for dry applications.
  • Reduces wear powder on UHMW-PE wearstrips while maintaining a low coefficient of friction.
Specifications
  • Max Allowable Load: 0.83{85} kN{kgf}
  • Approx. Mass: 0.9 kg/m
  • Max Allowable Speed: 80 m/min with lube, 50 m/min without lube

Tsubaki Plastic Top Chain ALF Advanced Low  Friction / Wear Resistant Series-1

ALF ADVANCED LOW FRICTION / WEAR RESISTANT SERIES Tsubaki Offers a Superb Material! A New Approach to Dry Running! Advantages of ALF Advanced Low Friction / Wear Resistant Chain ● ● Tsubaki has developed a unique original material compounded with silicone lubricant for use in dry running applications. The ALF series can dramatically reduce wear powder on the sliding surfaces of UHMW-PE wearstrips in dry running applications, while maintaining the lowest coefficient of friction compared with other plastic chains. ■ Applications We recommend the following applications, mainly on beverage production lines where you want to reduce the use of lubricants. ● Processes in which you can’t use lubricants: Caser lines ● Processes that use dry lubricants: Inspection lines before caser lines ● Accumulating conveyors, processes involving high-speed single-row conveyors: Single filers, inspection lines,
