The lubrication system for roller and conveyor chains is designed to enable quarry and cement plant operators to keep their chains in optimum condition for longer replacement intervals, along with lower oil and energy consumption.
RotaLube utilises specially designed sprockets to deliver lubricant directly to the pivot points on the chain links where it is needed.
FB Chain says that ineffective lubrication as one of the main reasons for conveyors not performing at their best and is a problem the company’s engineers come across far too often on client site visits.
“RotaLube takes the hassle out of manual roller and conveyor chain lubrication and ensures chains are correctly lubricated at all times,” said RotaLube inventor and FB Chain director David Chippendale.
“We are bringing RotaLube to the market at a time when there is increasing interest among quarry and cement plant operators to automate more of their processes – and we are excited to see it contribute to greater uptime, lower costs and lower environmental impact at more sites across the UK and beyond."
FB Chain is the UK arm of the FB Group, owned by Swedish compact Addtech, and is a manufacturer and supplier of industrial chain and associated parts.
