Athletic wear plant uses a 2600-ft chain on overhead chain conveyor. The chain cost was $25,000 every 18 months due to extreme wear. Noise levels were extremely high due to poor lubrication of the chain. Grit and dirty residues would contaminate annual production at appreciable levels and result in scrap. After AFMT was added, the noise was virtually eliminated overnight. Over a period of 24 months, there was no evidence of any chain wear, and no build up of gritty residues. NO scrap product due to dripping oil was created, returning significant levels of production effort to the retail market.
