TSUBAKI LAMBDA NEP: ELIMINATE CORROSION & CONTAMINATION - FROM "MAINTENANCE" TO "EFFICIENCY"

At the Port of Mombasa (Kenya), our customer quay cranes were facing constant issues with their existing gear couplings due to harsh operating conditions. Tsubaki implemented a total upgrade that completely transformed maintenance efficiency.

1. Challenges & Issues

• Application: Drive chain operating at low speeds above zinc plating chemical pools.

• Core Issue: Standard nickel-plated chains suffered heavy corrosion from acid vapors/gases (rusting after only 1 year of use).

• Operational Risk: The customer could not lubricate the chain due to fears of oil dropping and contaminating the chemical pool, which would compromise product quality.

• Short Lifespan: Rapid degradation necessitated full replacement after short cycles.

2. Tsubaki's Technical Solution:

We upgraded the system to the Lambda NEP series (Model: RF2060S--LMCNEP-2LSA2-TK), featuring:

• Lambda Technology (Lube-free): Internally self-lubricating, requiring no external oil. This completely eliminates the risk of oil contamination in chemical pools.

• NEP Surface Treatment: Provides superior corrosion resistance compared to nickel plating, specifically engineered for environments with acid vapors and gases.

• Zero Maintenance: Eliminates periodic oiling, saving labor costs and significantly extending equipment lifespan.

This case study is a strategic upgrade that maximizes savings on replacement and maintenance costs. For systems operating in chemical environments, Tsubaki Lambda NEP is the ideal solution to ensure production safety and long-term durability.
