A conveyor is a mechanical system used to continuously move goods from one location to another using belts, chains, or other devices as the transport medium. Conveyors are widely used in various industries to automate the process of moving goods, reduce manual labor, and enhance production efficiency.

Common problems associated with these devices and comprehensive solutions from Eonchemicals are as follows:

1. Problem: Jammed Rollers and Dusty Environment

A common issue with conveyors is jammed rollers and the impact of a dusty environment. Jammed rollers can be caused by dirt, dust, or other foreign objects that interfere with the free movement of the rollers.

A dusty environment can exacerbate this condition by increasing the risk of dirt accumulation around the rollers and other components, which can disrupt the normal operation of the conveyor. This can lead to material flow interruptions, increased maintenance costs, and even reduced productivity if not addressed properly and regularly.

Solution: Molykote AFC

Molykote AFC is an effective solution to the above problems. This lubricant has high chemical stability, maintaining consistent performance under various operational conditions, including dusty environments.

As the official distributor of Molykote lubricants in Indonesia, Eonchemicals guarantees the quality and authenticity of its products and provides free consultation services via WhatsApp with lubrication experts to ensure customers receive the right lubrication solutions according to their needs.

2. Problem: Lubrication of Conveyor Chains

Lubrication of conveyor chains is a crucial process to ensure smooth operation and longevity of the system. Lubricants help reduce friction between chain components and sprockets, prevent excessive wear, and avoid overheating that can cause material damage.

Choosing the wrong lubricant can result in significant losses for your industry.

Solution: Molykote D-321R

This anti-friction coating spray is suitable for applications involving metal-to-metal combinations with slow to medium movements and high loads. It provides permanent lubrication for heavily loaded sliding guides with low sliding speeds, oscillating movements, or intermittent operations. It is ideal for lubricating your conveyor to deliver high performance.

3. Problem: High Load, Low Speed, and Dusty Environment

Because conveyors must handle heavy loads, the operating speed tends to be low. Additionally, a dusty environment can worsen the conveyor’s performance, leading to faster wear, higher maintenance costs, and potential damage to critical components.

The combination of high load, low speed, and a dusty environment is a serious issue that requires appropriate handling..

Solution: Molykote Long Term 2 Plus

This specialty grease is designed to meet various lubrication needs across different industries, offering an effective solution.

It is particularly suitable for addressing the aforementioned conveyor issues because this lubricant can operate under high loads and has good resistance to water and dust. Its high stability ensures that it does not easily melt, making it more cost-efficient due to longer re-lubrication intervals.

Additionally, this specialty lubricant offers optimal protection between metal surfaces and reliable anti-corrosion protection. With an NLGI 2 standard, this grease is suitable for various industrial applications requiring effective and long-lasting lubrication.
