ChainMAX

Pressing

Automatic mechanical chain cleaner for an improved lifetime of Küsters chains.

  • Longer chain lifetime.
  • Less unplanned shutdowns because of chain breakage.
  • Lower power needed for main drives.
  • Saving steel belt and heating plates.
  • Less use of lubrication oil.
Energy savings Plant efficiency

Description

The ChainMAX is a mechanical cleaning device for chains used for Küsters presses. A rotating cleaning unit moves crosswise the chains. The system is fully automatic and starts and stops together with the press.

By keeping chains clean, friction will be lower resulting in a longer chain lifetime, lower power on the main drive, and lower oil consumption for lubrication. A clean chain will improve press performance. Today more than 15 Küsters presses are equipped with one or two ChainMAX systems.
