As self-lubricating chains do not require lubricant, they are suitable for applications where lubrication is not possible or practical. Consequently, these chains offer a long-lasting maintenance-free solution. Contamination of the final product from oil spillage or oil mist is the primary reason for lubrication-free chains in the paper, packaging, electronics, white and brown goods manufacturing sectors. Altogether, if lubrication can be avoided, planned
lubrication intervals are unnecessary and maintenance costs are reduced accordingly.
