Applications Lube-free drive chain - 3. Garbage disposal (household/industrial)
Chain use
- ・Lambda chain RS50~60-LMD
Applications
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.
