In many industries, conveyors have been running dry successfully for over<br />

20 years using <strong>Rexnord</strong> superior materials such as the patented XL and<br />

LF acetal-based materials and, more recently, HP and PS ® acetal-based<br />

materials.<br />

However, you need to get the FACTS first from...<br />

<strong>Run</strong> <strong>Dry</strong> is not an all-or-not<br />

Application Engineers from <strong>Rexnord</strong> <strong>FlatTop</strong> can help you to determine<br />

where it’s practical and cost effective to run conveyors dry and where<br />

it may be best to run with water, a dry lubricant or water and soap<br />

lubrication. Our experience has shown that a significant portion of the<br />

conveyors in bottling and packaging plants can either be converted to run<br />

with dry lube, run completely dry, or to run with a dramatic reduction in<br />

water and soap consumption.<br />

<strong>Run</strong>ning dry is not only a chain issue.<br />

Many other factors need to be taken into<br />

consideration; such as:<br />

•<br />

•<br />

•<br />

Conveyor cleanliness<br />

Container stability<br />

Increased component wear<br />
