Tynic Automation has partnered with Regina to help the Australian packaging industry cut down on conveyor line lubrication with the launch of the e-FAST conveyor chain material.

Designed to reduce maintenance, enhance workplace safety, and improve operational efficiency, Regina says e-FAST is setting new standards for dry-running high-speed bottling and packaging applications.

Regina’s e-FAST conveyor chains leverage low friction acetal resin, in combination with a unique self-lubricating PTFE compound, to deliver unparalleled dry-running performance.

Designed for high-speed filling lines, e-FAST chains significantly reduce the need for lubrication while maintaining a consistently low coefficient of friction, which results in reduced energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced operational efficiency.

With the growing demand for faster, more efficient, and eco-friendly conveyor solutions, e-FAST chains minimise water and lubricant usage, helping companies meet stringent environmental regulations, while improving overall productivity.

The eFAST chains’ robust construction also ensures longevity, reducing downtime and replacement costs for manufacturers.

Real-world testing of e-FAST chains at a leading bottling plant demonstrated remarkable durability and efficiency over a 3000-hour runtime. The trials confirmed a substantial reduction in chain pull and friction levels compared to conventional plastic acetal chain.

To help businesses assess their conveyor performance and explore the benefits of e-FAST technology, Tynic is offering complimentary line audits.

Tynic’s expert team will evaluate your existing setup and provide a tailored solution, ensuring the optimal application of e-FAST chains for maximum efficiency and cost savings.

With Tynic’s conveyor expertise, businesses can rest assured that they are investing in a solution that enhances performance, reduces costs, and drives long-term success.
