In food production, maximising productivity and maintaining quality is paramount, especially when profit margins are tight.
A French pizza manufacturer faced the challenge of minimising maintenance on its end-of-line conveyor chain to ensure high production capacity. After 15 years of using a lower quality chain brand, which required elongation inspections every 3 days, regular maintenance, and chain replacements every 3 months, the team sought a solution to reduce downtime and total cost of ownership.
Enter Tsubaki's GT4 Winner roller chain.
𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴:
✅ The GT4 Winner chain far exceeded the previous chains' 3-month lifetime
✅ It required its first adjustment after a remarkable 18 months
However, the prolonged lifespan of the Tsubaki chain presented a new challenge - humidity-induced corrosion. To combat this, the chain was switched for the Tsubaki Neptune - offering the same tensile strength and resistance to elongation as the GT4 Winner but could withstand 700 hours of saline spray.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?
🔹 A chain that lasted approximately 2 years with just one adjustment
🔹8x longer life
🔹Dramatically less inspection and maintenance
By partnering with Tsubaki, this pizza manufacturer achieved not only significantly reduced maintenance and downtime but also increased productivity and cost savings, ultimately ensuring high-quality pizza production for supermarket distribution.
