FB Chain, London, developed a new range of corrosion-resistant chains specifically for the food and beverage industries. These lube-free plastic combination chains meet strict EU food processing standards.
Constructed from food-grade engineering plastic inner links, supported by 304 grade stainless-steel bearing pins and outer link plates, the PC chain matches the strength of standard stainless-steel chains, but offer a much lower friction co-efficient, thus eliminating the need for lubrication and increasing wear life. The PC chain is also much quieter and about 50% lighter, helping manufacturers meet energy efficiency and environmental targets, while enjoying a significantly lower total cost of ownership.
