Well, it mainly depends on chain wear. Did you know that if roller chains side plates get worn down by just 5% you have lost a great deal of chain strength and integrity! Using the proper chain guide will prevent this from happening thus keeping you up and running safely for a longer period of time. Downtime is a major factor when calculating a cost-saving analysis or cost-benefit analysis report, so using a roller chain guide often more than pays for its self not only with extending the chain life but with reducing downtime.

Green /White/Black UHMW PE polyethylene material with galvanized steel and aluminum alloy
Using UHMWPE chain guides, the aim is to achieve quiet, smooth-running, and long-term functional reliability. Once the conveyor chain system stop working, it will make a huge time to repair and make the cost-benefit analysis down sharply. While the UHMWPE chain guides can guarantee its smooth running safely and help to save time and cost.
● it is high abrasion resistance, which is 1/6 of steel on outwear.
● it is resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents, will not rust at all.
● excellent low coefficient of friction even handles the worst of bulk material, still can assist in smooth and predictable flow.
● lightweight , which is 1/7 that of steel.
● it is easy to cut and machine.
● it is FDA grade material, which can be used in food industry safety.
● it is no need for oil lubrication at all, maintain cost is 0.
