Description

-Average lifetime is 18,000 hours or 3 years

-Improved stretching resistance means better synchronization during preform transfer

-Optimized link piece profile to prevent friction

-Polyacetal ring for a better contact with the tensioner wheel

-Inner spring guide ring made of Ertalyte:Prevents wear of self-lubricated bushing

Key message
Increased lifetime by 50%
Machine application

Blowers S2 - MM, GM, TM, oven pitch 40 or 50mm, preferential heating oven, guided type (W bearing)

Benefits

-This new solution, combined with the use of new materials (polyacetal and ertalythe), significantly decreases stretching of the chain and increases chain lifetime by 50%

-The use of these new raw materials also reduces friction and eliminates all contamination. The result is up to 30% less maintenance costs
