Tsubaki expects chain
reaction at BrauBeviale 2018

isitors to the Tsubaki stand will be able to see a range of
chains including Traypacker, which uses oil- impregnated
sintered bushes for life-long lubrication. This not only
reduces maintenance requirements, but also ensures the clean
and hygienic standards required for tray packing machinery
used in the food and beverage industry.
Based on Tsubaki's Lambda lube-free chain, Traypacker also
uses NSF-H1 food grade lubricant in its sintered bushes.
This allows for the chain to be used without any additional
lubrication ensuring a clean work environment.
Like most of Tsubaki's chains Traypacker is supplied with the
company's Match & Tag Service. This guarantees a maximum
total chain length difference of 0.50 mm between paired chain
strands so that when they are run in parallel, as is universal on
tray packing machines, they remain perfectly synchronised and
keep the trays oriented in-line.

Amongst other chains on the stand will be Neptune, Tsubaki's
chain for harsh application environments. This features high
corrosion and chemical resistance making it suitable for
washdowns with water and alkaline cleaning agents. Neptune
is made with a multi-layer surface treatment that combines
protection against corrosive environments with maximised
chain strength.
BrauBeviale 2018 is the most important capital goods
exhibition for the beverage industry in the world this year.
