Tsubaki Pin Oven Chain - A Reliable Drive Solution for Can Manufacturing Lines

Tsubaki Pin Oven Chain (X-Ring Series) is a leading heat-resistant conveyor chain solution engineered specifically for aluminum can production lines and the beverage packaging industry. Operating continuously inside high-temperature drying ovens, this product helps optimize operational efficiency while minimizing maintenance costs.

In aluminum can manufacturing lines, after the cans are printed or base-coated, they pass through a drying oven operating at temperatures of around 180°C - 200°C at extremely high speeds. The chain must run continuously in this harsh environment, which leads to rapid chain elongation. As a result, the pitch between the extended pins shifts out of alignment with the machine's transfer mechanisms, causing can jams and line shutdowns.

1. Tsubaki's Proprietary Technological Solutions

Tsubaki thoroughly resolves these issues through specialized engineering design:

• X-Ring Oil Retention Technology: Instead of conventional round O-rings (which easily deform when flexed), Tsubaki utilizes X-section sealing rings. The X-Ring creates 4 sealing contact points, securely retaining the special high-temperature lubricant inside the pins and bushings while preventing aluminum dust from penetrating inside.

• 15% Increase in Bearing Area: A larger contact surface distributes compressive loads more effectively and reduces surface pressure, thereby reducing wear by several times.

• Pre-stretching Process: After assembly, the chain undergoes a mechanical pre-loading process to eliminate initial "take-up elongation." When engineers install the chain, it maintains its standard dimensions almost immediately, eliminating rapid stretch during the first few weeks of operation.

2. Pin Attachment Structure & Flexible Replacement

Tsubaki's design allows individual pin attachments to be replaced if broken or worn without cutting the chain or disassembling entire links, significantly reducing downtime.
