CASE STUDY

EQUIPMENT: Overhead Chain-Conveyer System  

PROLONG PRODUCT USED: AFMT

Summary

Major manufacturer had a chain conveyer system experiencing numerous problems caused from lack of satisfactory lubrication.  The lack of lubrication is due to the chain traveling around the plant and through 3 ovens (with temperatures of up to 550 degrees) required in finishing the product for distribution.  None of the previous lubricants tried were capable of providing adequate protection. 

Chain Wear:  Tremendous wear required replacement every 6 months, at a cost of $10,000.00, plus loss of production during down time.

Noise Levels:  Lack of lubrication caused excessively loud noise problem.

Product Loss:  Annual product scrap rate of 6% was caused by heavy saturation of chain oil in an attempt to provide adequate lubrication.

Results          

After chain was treated with AFMT, applied by drip method:

Chain Wear:  Virtual elimination of wear and oil build-up.

Noise Level:  Drastic reduction in chain noise.

Product Loss:  Scrap product reduced to virtually zero.
