I have soaked the chains in a 5 gallon bucket with wd40. It does a great job cleaning the chain. After they are done soaking i take an air gun outside and blow the chain off. I found that using a medium temp lubricant does not cause alot of buildup o

It is possible. If the talcum powder mixes with the chain lubricant, it could gum everything up. Back a few years ago when I was running an SMT Quattro Peak, I was having an issue with the conveyor chain drive motor going into overload. We had to pul

Good Day, We have been searching for ways to do this very thing. We have sent them out for cleaning in hot baths, ultrasonics, pressure wash, etc... The chains have come back cleaner than they left but not perfect. At one point, one of our engineers

| Hi Ya'll... | it's a Soltec Prisma and the conveyer keeps jamming. What it's doing is up at the exit end where the drive motor is, the chain keeps wrapping itself around the drive sprocket and jamming...this is on the backside rail, the frontside

Mike, I have been using a fully synthetic motor oil on the links of my chains of my Hella for 7 years now, and have had no problems. As long as you do not place the oil on the fingers, where it makes contact with the PCB, then you will have no probl
