The TSUBAKI roller chain of the RF-NEP line is designed for drives where corrosion attacks conventional carbon steel components. Its surface treatment allows it to work in washdowns, humidity and vapors that degrade a standard chain. It is used in food, beverage, water treatment and chemical process plants, where frequent cleaning or the humid environment demand a chain that resists without losing mechanical performance.

The designation of this line is read in parts. RF identifies the roller chain with pitch according to British standard (BS). The number that follows —06B in the examples RF06B-NEP-1 and RF06B-NEP-2— defines the pitch and the size of the chain within that standard. The suffix NEP indicates the anti-corrosion treatment applied to plates, pins and bushings. The last digit indicates the number of strands: 1 for single, 2 for double. Thus, each code combines size, protection and configuration in a single reference.

In Argentine industry these chains appear in packaging and filling lines, wash tunnels, bottle and box conveyors, and effluent treatment equipment. They are also chosen in chemical and refrigerated plants where there is condensation or splashing. In all those cases, the standard chain rusts and ends up seizing; the version with NEP treatment keeps the articulation free for longer and reduces corrective maintenance stoppages.

To select correctly, take into account the pitch and the number of strands required by your machine, and verify that the inner width matches the existing sprockets. Adequate lubrication remains key even if the chain is anti-corrosion: use a lubricant compatible with the humid or corrosive environment. Check sprocket alignment and mounting tension; a misaligned chain wears out sooner, no matter how much protection it has. Also check the axial play and the wear of the sprocket teeth.

If you need to replace a chain from another brand, the reference by standard and pitch is the safest path: a BS chain of equal pitch and number of strands is usually interchangeable, provided you verify the roller diameter and inner width. Do not rely only on the commercial code of the old chain. MR Accesorios Industriales sells TSUBAKI as an official brand and can guide you with the equivalence from the pitch and dimensions measured on the worn chain.

To proceed with the quote, send us by WhatsApp the complete code that appears on the plate or on the chain —for example, RF06B-NEP-1 or RF06B-NEP-2— or the measurements of pitch, inner width and number of strands. With that data we confirm the reference and respond shortly. If your equipment works in a corrosive environment and you do not know which version corresponds, write to us and we will help you define it.
