Roller chain gives better wear life
August 1st 2006

The Albert Bartlett & Sons potato processing plant based in Airdrie, Scotland has undergone £30m investment over the last four years.

Having operated Tsubaki roller chain alongside OEM equipment chain and other brands of chain, the maintenance team at Bartlett has decided to standardise on Tsubaki roller chain.

Steve McInnes of local PT supplier Scots bearings comments: "Due to a poor wear life displayed by both OEM and other branded chain in this relatively harsh processing environment we were asked to source a better quality alternative. We have now supplied Tsubaki replacement roller chain to the plant for the past two years and it has indeed resulted in extended wear life, resulting in a decision to standardise on Tsubaki replacement chain products".
