Optimizing Energy Costs for F&B Production Lines with Plastic Modular Chains and Hypoid Motors

In F&B manufacturing plants, rising electricity costs alongside the risk of packaging contamination from grease and rust remain major challenges for maintenance and production management teams. To completely solve these two issues, the combination of Tsubaki Hypoid Motors (HMTA Series) and Plastic Modular Chains serves as the optimal solution, helping plants reduce electricity consumption by 15-20% while strictly meeting stringent hygiene standards.

1. Tsubaki Hypoid Motor: Cutting Energy Costs for 24/7 Production Lines

Many F&B plants still rely on traditional worm reducers for filling and packaging conveyors. However, the key drawback of worm gearboxes is their low efficiency (only around 60-70%), where lost energy is converted into heat.

• Superior Transmission Efficiency (>85-90%): Tsubaki Hypoid gearing maximizes the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical power. Operating dozens of conveyors continuously 24/7, switching to Hypoid Motors saves plants hundreds of millions of VND in electricity bills annually.

• Low Heat Generation: Does not increase the ambient room temperature.

• Solid Die-Cast Aluminum Housing: Smooth surface with no crevices to accumulate dirt, withstanding high-pressure washdowns without peeling paint or rusting.

2. Plachain Plastic Chain: FDA-Compliant Dry-Running Conveyor Solution

While traditional metal chains pose risks of grease splatter or rust damaging bottle/can packaging, Tsubaki plastic chains set a new benchmark for filling & packaging:

• Absolute Hygiene & Safety: Made from FDA-compliant engineering plastics (POM, PP) with self-lubricating properties. The conveyor runs completely dry, eliminating any risk of oil or grease stains on bottles, cans, or paper cartons.

• Reduced Scrap Rate: Extremely low friction chain surface ensures smooth movement for glass bottles and aluminum cans. Even during product accumulation on the line, the chain slides smoothly beneath the containers without scratching or causing tip-overs.

• Weight Reduction & Extended Motor Life: Significantly lighter than stainless steel chains, directly reducing the load on the motor shaft and minimizing mechanical wear.

3. Practical Applications in F&B Production Lines

• Beer, Beverage, and Dairy Filling Lines: Smoothly transports bottles/cans at high speeds, paired with Hypoid Motors for precise, vibration-free speed control.

• Mixers & Agricultural/Meat Feed Conveyors: Hypoid motor housings withstand washdowns with cleaning chemicals after every shift, perfectly meeting food safety standards.

• Carton Packing & Palletizing Areas: Hollow shaft Hypoid Motors combined with modular conveyor chains optimize installation footprint in tight factory spaces.

Conclusion Upgrading to the Modular Plastic Chain & Tsubaki Hypoid Motor combo is not merely a spare part replacement--it is a strategic investment that helps F&B factories minimize downtime, optimize electricity bills, and enhance final product quality.
