When a drive or conveyor runs in a wet, chemical or washdown environment, a plain carbon steel chain tends to fail early. The TSUBAKI stainless steel roller chain with attachments is built for exactly those conditions, and the attachments let you mount scrapers, buckets or guides, or serve as drag elements. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you match the pitch and attachment layout to your equipment.

Reading the code is the fastest way to identify what you need. The letters RF point to a roller chain built with attachments, while the SS ending confirms stainless steel construction. Between them sits the pitch number: RF2040-SS is pitch 40, which is half an inch; RF2050-SS is pitch 50, or 5/8"; the range continues through RF2160-SS at pitch 160, which is 2". Size and corrosion resistance are both visible in the designation.

These chains show up wherever hygiene and chemical exposure matter: food and pharmaceutical plants, chemical processing, water treatment and washdown areas. Typical jobs include packaging lines, bottle conveyors, food processing equipment and drag systems in recycling plants. Attachments simplify the mounting of scrapers, buckets and guides so the chain fits the specific layout of each machine.

Selection comes down to pitch, number of strands, attachment style and the working environment. Stainless steel resists corrosion, but you should still confirm that the lubricant and the operating temperature suit the application. At installation, align the sprockets accurately and set the correct tension to limit premature wear. Use a lubricant intended for corrosive conditions and inspect rollers and plates on a regular schedule.

On interchangeability: TSUBAKI RF series chains with the SS suffix follow ANSI standards, so they can replace other brands of stainless steel roller chain with attachments when pitch and critical dimensions line up. Measure before you swap a chain, because small differences can change how the drive performs. Our team can review compatibility with the equipment you are running now.

If your application calls for a roller chain with attachments in a corrosive setting, send the code or model by WhatsApp or email. MR Industrial Accessories replies promptly with the technical details and a quote, and can suggest equivalent options or help you choose.
