Conveyor Chain Lubes

Chain drives provide a reliable way to transmit power, move materials or operate equipment. The chain is made of individual links with rollers (spindles), bushings and interconnecting links. An oil film on the outside surface of a chain offers rust protection and minimizes wear at the sprocket. However, the critical area of wear occurs inside the chain, between each roller and its accompanying bushing.

The proper choice of chain lubricant is critical to ensure that it penetrates to the inner friction points properly while also handling various conditions such as high temperatures, dust, water spray and/or the need to be drip-free.

LubeCon offers a wide array of chain lubricants to meet these needs, including mineral-based oils for ambient conditions, dry-film lubricants to prevent drip and penetrate the chain, high-performance/high temperature synthetic oils to maintain clean chains and provide long oil life and food grade oils where incidental contact with food is possible.

Lubricant Types
Product Info
The tight clearances of a chain link require a lubricant with excellent penetration to reach the critical inner friction points of the chain.
Poor penetration and lack of lubrication creates wear on the pins and bushings, leading to a “chain stretch” phenomenon that requires more chain take-up over time and eventually the removal of links to shorten the chain.

Extending Chain Life While Reducing Lube Usage

LubeCon’s combination of lubricants, applicators and service provides an optimum lubrication solution that not only greatly extends chain life, but also reduces the volume and cost of the lubricant.

Using less lubricant to extend chain life may seem “counterintuitive”; but, if applied precisely to the lubrication points of the chain, only small amounts of oil are needed for maximum effectiveness. Below are case studies that highlight just two of these many successes.

Case study from an automotive paint shop where LubeCon applicator and Series I lubricant lowered the lubricant cost by 23% while extending chain life by an estimated 2.3 times, based on lower wear rates (measured by chain stretch per 100 feet of chain).
Case study from building products manufacturer where LubeCon applicator and Series I/M lubricant lowered the lubricant usage by 88% while doubling chain life.
