Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Tsubaki TTUPS-H Plastic Top Chain is engineered for durability with a thick top plate, making it suitable for conveying food trays. It has anti-static properties to prevent static electricity build-up and features a D-pin shape for connecting pins to prevent cracks. The chain can be easily disassembled and connected from either side, and it does not produce metal debris from abrasion.
Specifications
The TTUPS-H chain is available in standard gray with anti-static properties. It supports a maximum load of 1.08 kN and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C. The chain speed is limited to 100 m/min with lubrication and 50 m/min without.
Related Products
The BTM8H-M and BTC8H-M Plastic Modular Chains are compatible with the same sprocket as the TTUPS-H, facilitating design standardization. The BTM8H-M is suitable for inclined straight running using magnets, while the BTC8H-M is recommended for flat, straight running.
Design and Installation
Conveyor design should account for chain slack, engagement angle, and wearstrip ends. Return rollers should be spaced 600 to 900 mm apart, and the engagement angle should exceed 150°. Wearstrips should be at least 3 mm thick to prevent wear.
Handling and Maintenance
The chain features D-pin type connecting pins for easy assembly and disassembly. Regular inspection is necessary to assess chain elongation, top plate wear, and deformation. Replacement standards are provided to determine when parts should be replaced.
Safety and Usage Guidelines
Chains should not be used for unintended purposes. Safety equipment must be installed, and regular inspections are required. During installation, power should be turned off, and safety goggles should be worn. Only Tsubaki products should be used for compatibility.
Conclusion
The TTUPS-H Plastic Top Chain offers robust performance for food conveyor applications with its durable design and anti-static properties. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimal operation and safety.
Specifications and Usage Guidelines
1. Chains such as DIA, MPD, MF, HS, and KV150 are designed for dry environments and should not be used in wet conditions to avoid malfunction. Bearing corner discs are also for dry use.
2. Using plastic top chains in wet environments reduces the resin's self-lubricating ability, especially with stainless steel pins. Plastic pins or KV series chains are recommended.
3. UHMW-PE components have an operating temperature range of –20°C to 60°C and should not be exposed to steam.
4. Chemical Resistant series should not be exposed to open flames or temperatures above 150°C to prevent toxic gas generation.
5. Plastic chains are flammable and should not be used near open flames or above maximum temperatures.

Tsubaki Plastic Top Chain TTUPS-H type-2

TTUPS-H Plastic Top Chain with thicker top plates. The top plates are more robust than on conventional Plastic Top Chain models. Recommended for curved parts of food conveyor lines. Thickness of top plate: 9.8 mm Adopted an even, thick top plate with enhanced durability. Ideal for conveying food trays. Standard type (gray) has anti-static properties. This prevents static electricity (sparks) build-up due to friction. Adopted a D-pin shape for connecting pins. This prevents cracks caused by pin fitting. Chains can also be disassembled and connected from either side. Plastic chain does not produce...

For Your Safety When Using the Chain Warning To avoid danger, observe the following rules. General • Do not use chain or chain accessories for any purpose other than their originally intended use. • Never perform additional work on chain (including machining, grinding, annealing, cleaning with acids or alkalis, electroplating, or welding or cutting with a torch which will cause heat effects). These processes may cause the chain to break during operation, leading to a risk of severe injury. • When replacing a worn or damaged part, do not replace just the worn or damaged part.
