Applications  Lube-free drive chain - 3. Garbage disposal (household/industrial)

Chain use

  • ・Lambda chain  RS50~60-LMD

Applications

Garbage disposal (household/industrial)

Garbage disposal (household/industrial)

Lambda Chain is used for driving the agitating blades of garbage disposal units.

Advantage

  • ・Application challenges
    In general, appliances for use in homes and shops must be maintenance free.
    The expected life of a garbage disposal unit is more than 10 years.
    Using belts doesn't provide enough strength, while standard chain requires a costly lubrication system and the equipment cannot be downsized.
  • ・User assessment
    Achieved a 10-year service life without lubrication, and improved device reliability and speed.
    Simple design using chain available, providing satisfaction in terms of cost and weight.
    Eliminated the trouble of incorporating a lubrication system and reduced part of the process on the production line.
