“Tsubaki attended the PPMA Show 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham to meet food and packaging clients from the UK and Ireland. We promoted solutions for the following applications: tray packing, chocolate moulding, thermoforming, can feeding, gable top carton filling, and yoghurt filling industry. This year’s PPMA fair was a great way to showcase innovative solutions to the UK audience and reinforce our position in the market.” explained Jake Yamamoto, Director Sales & Marketing.

In the Food industry hygiene is paramount and regular lubricants cannot come into contact with the food products. Tsubaki Lambda Chains lubricate themselves internally with NSF-H1 food grade lubricant, negating the need for any external lubrication. This solution significantly reduces the risk of contamination or produce mixing with the lubrication, affecting the chain’s articulation. In the unlikely occurrence that the food touches the chain, the use of NSF-H1 food safe lubricant eliminates potential health risks.

Tsubaki’s chain range is also perfect for accurate and hygienic Gable Top Filling Machines for cartons in the beverage industry. The SS and AS chains contain robust stainless-steel construction and inbuilt corrosion-resistance for optimised longevity.

“Our Gripper chain is specially designed for thermoforming applications where film needs to be applied. Available in nickel plated and stainlesssteel executions, these high corrosion-resistance chains are designed for wash downs, safeguarding continuous hygienic compliance. In combination with our in-house Match & Tag service this solution offers exceptional accuracy, reducing downtime and batch waste.”

With their Match & Tag service Tsubaki ensures chains to be within a specific length tolerance for those applications where chains run in parallel lines with special attachments connecting the two. For these types of applications, even pairs and multiple chain lengths are matched and tagged for easy identification and installation. Tsubaki can guarantee a maximum chain length differences of 0.50mm independent of the total chain length.

The Tsubaki Titan, Lambda and Neptune value-added solution products act as an effective alternative to standard carbon steel chains. With a customercentric approach, Tsubakimoto UK offers an initial site visit by expert engineers to determine the best solutions for each application and the corresponding requirements. As part of an ongoing after service, Tsubakimoto UK also offers periodical follow-up visits to measure elongation and assess the performance of the chain to reassure the client. This maintenance support ensures each investment is protected and benefits from longer performance.
