The TSUBAKI RF B-SS attachment chain is a stainless steel roller chain with attachments welded on the links, designed to convey or elevate materials in corrosive environments. The attachments allow fixing rakes, buckets or drag plates directly on the chain, without adding accessories. It is used in treatment plants, food industry and processes with exposure to moisture or chemical agents. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The RF#B-SS designation reads as follows: RF identifies the metric pitch roller chain according to BS standard; the number after RF indicates the pitch (for example, RF06B-SS corresponds to a 3/8" pitch); the B indicates it is a single strand chain; and SS indicates stainless steel. Attachments are the addition that distinguishes this variant: they come welded on the links and their quantity and arrangement depend on the pitch and link type. To choose the right chain, you must define the pitch, number of strands and attachment type.

In Argentina, this type of chain is used in drag conveyors, bucket elevators, industrial washers, effluent treatment plants and food industry equipment that operates with frequent washing. It also appears in chemical processes where carbon steel would corrode quickly. The stainless steel version allows working in humid environments or with moderate acids and alkalis, always within the material's limits. It is a solution to replace standard chains in areas where corrosion shortens service life.

To select the chain, take into account pitch, working load, speed and environment. Lubrication must be compatible with stainless steel and with the process: in the food industry, lubricants suitable for incidental contact are used. Sprocket alignment and correct tension prevent premature wear and jumping. Attachments are fixed with bolts or rivets depending on the accessory they pull. If the equipment operates with frequent washing, it is advisable to periodically inspect pins and plates for fatigue or corrosion.

Attachment chains are available in different brands and standards. TSUBAKI's RF series follows BS standard, so pitches match those of other equivalent BS chains. When replacing, verify that pitch, inner width and roller diameter are compatible with existing sprockets. Interchangeability between brands is not always complete: there may be differences in surface treatment, attachment strength or pitch tolerance. If the original equipment comes with an attachment chain, the safest approach is to compare critical dimensions before changing brands.

If you need an attachment chain for a particular equipment, send the code or model via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SS abbreviation mean in the RF B-SS chain?
SS indicates stainless steel. It is the variant designed for corrosive environments or frequent washing, where a carbon steel chain would rust quickly. It does not imply a specific type of stainless steel; for that, consult the manufacturer's data sheet.
How do I choose the number of attachments and their spacing?
It depends on the accessory you will pull and the load. The number of attachments per meter and their arrangement are defined according to the chain pitch and link type. If you have the equipment or original chain code, send us that data and we will guide you.
Can I replace an attachment chain from another brand with a TSUBAKI one?
In many cases yes, if pitch, inner width and roller diameter match. But there may be differences in attachments or material. Before buying, compare critical dimensions with the old chain or consult us with the code.
