    Points to note when considering and adopting Lambda Chain

    1. Foreign matter contamination prevention:Do not use the chain in cases where it comes into direct contact with food or where there is a risk that peeling debris or wear debris may get into the food.

    Even when using in environments other than food where peeling debris or wear debris is a problem, please take measures to prevent foreign matter from entering, such as by installing an appropriate cover.

    Nickel plating is not subject to regulation under the Food Sanitation Act or the Industrial Safety and Health Act, but please be careful if you are concerned about the plating peeling.

    2. Regarding product oil:Depending on the conditions of use, the oil impregnated in the bushings may splash out.

    Due to manufacturing reasons, Lambda Chain has a small amount of oil on it that is not NSF H1 compliant.

    If the oil impregnated in the bushing is lost, it will rapidly run out of oil, leading to wear elongation and the end of its life.

    3. If dust or other debris is present in the operating environment, the product may wear out and reach the end of its service life earlier than expected.

    Do not use the bushing in an environment containing chemicals, solvents, or degreasing agents that may remove the oil impregnated in the bushing, or in water or under vacuum.

    Lambda Chain is not coated with anti-rust oil, so please store it away from high temperatures, humidity, and dust.

    4. Check for interference with the equipment.The pin lengths for Lube-free chains vary depending on the thickness of the outer and inner plates and whether or not a felt seal is used.

    The pins are longer than those of RS roller chain, so please check for interference with equipment when replacing.
