CASE STUDY: 4X LONGER CONVEYOR CHAIN LIFE FOR FRENCH SAWMILL WITH TSUBAKI TITAN CHAIN The proof is in the pudding – and with case studies like this, there’s no wonder we stock Tsubaki chains for fast next day delivery throughout the UK. The challenge: A sawmill in central France faced recurring challenges with its screw conveyor system. Situated outside, it was exposed to seasonal changes and the ingress of wood fibres. The conveyor's 16B-1 drive chain experienced rapid wear and elongation, needing replacement every six months. The frequent downtime for maintenance and the escalating procurement costs of replacement chains significantly impacted the sawmill's productivity and bottom line. The solution: The sawmill turned to Tsubaki, a renowned leader in industrial chain solutions, who suggested the Titan Chain RS16B-1 as the ideal solution for their challenging environment. The Tsubaki Titan Chain RS16B-1 boasts several innovative features tailored to withstand harsh conditions. Nickel-plated outer link plates and black oxide inner link plates offer enhanced corrosion resistance, while ring coining around the pin hole adds strength, allowing the chain to operate at its full capacity. Additionally, shot peening enhances resilience to stress corrosion, crucial for heavy-duty applications like the sawmill's screw conveyor. The outcome: Eight months into the installation, the Tsubaki Titan Chain has exceeded expectations, showing no signs of deterioration or elongation. Based on test procedures and past installations in similar environments, Tsubaki anticipates the Titan Chain to outlast the previous chain by at least four times, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs. Key benefits: ·      Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): By investing in the Tsubaki Titan Chain, the sawmill has substantially lowered its TCO by minimising procurement expenses and maintenance downtime. ·      Enhanced durability: The Titan Chain's advanced design and engineering ensure long-term performance, even in the most demanding operating conditions. ·      Improved productivity: With decreased downtime and maintenance requirements, the sawmill has experienced enhanced productivity and operational efficiency, positively impacting its bottom line. #IndustrialChains #SawmillSolutions #ProductivityBoost

What are 2 main features of HUSHLLOY®? Let us introduce HUSHLLOY®, a series of styrene-based special thermoplastic resins that have a revolutionary effect on squeaking noise generated from mating parts of plastic parts. FEATURE 01 Squeaking reduction Blends special polymers for fewer “crispy” sounds and helps eliminate friction-based squeaking and vibration The frictional vibration (stick-slip phenomenon) that occurs when two materials are rubbed against each other produces a squeaky sound. By blending the existing ABS resin with a special polymer developed independently, the mating part slides smoothly and suppresses squeak noise. FEATURE 02 Performance Eliminates the need to apply grease or attach non-woven fabric to areas of suspected noise. Efforts to prevent squeaking noise generally involve measures like applying grease or attaching non-woven fabric, but this can be dispensed with thanks to HUSHLLOY®’s kneaded structure. So as well as reducing costs and construction errors, long-term performance can be maintained.

💡 In forging, lubrication is essential for carrying out the various operations involved in the process. 🔥 Specifically, lubricants help to: ▶️ Reduce friction ▶️ Enable uniform metal flow to ensure proper filling of the die cavity ▶️ Prevent parts from sticking to the die ▶️ Maintain the correct die temperature by retaining heat within the workpiece... ♻️ Sawdust and specially formulated oil mixtures are still commonly used as lubricants. However, significant efforts are being made to adopt biodegradable and eco-friendly modern lubricants to enhance the working environment for our operators. 🎥 In today’s #saturdayvideo, we showcase sawdust lubrication during the hammer forging of a massive part at our Setforge Bouzonville facility. The sawdust creates a small "explosion" that helps release the part from the die. The expertise of the operators is crucial; they precisely control the power of each blow and know exactly when to stop! True heirs to the blacksmiths of ancient times!

Bulk solids processing often includes one or more size reduction steps to improve a material’s value or functionality. For example, granular sugar can be pulverized into a powder, improving texture for use in icings, while scrap wood can be shredded then reduced through one or more hammermilling steps to manufacture secondary products such as oriented strand sheeting or particle board.
