Chain Lubrication Solid Profiles

Chain conveyor carrying 8,000-16,000 lb. pallets - furniture manufacturer

MICROPOLY:

1" x 2" x 18" conveyor chain lubrication block is used to lubricate #80 chain, 50 feet long with a 24 foot center distance between 8" sprockets.

CONDITIONS:

Chain was lubricated every month with molybdenum disulphide grease, which left marks on the wood boards as they moved on the line. The excess grease dripped, creating safety hazards and housekeeping problems and contaminating the wood. The chain became noisy in about 6 weeks if not lubricated. Chain speed was 1 revolution every 2 minutes.

RESULTS:

The MicroPoly lubrication blocks have been in use for 6 years without replacement. The blocks are mounted between two plates with spring pressure applied. MicroPoly has eliminated the problems they were having with contamination, housekeeping, and safety.
