Poultry Processing

SUMO-LYNX™ is a new and improved conveyor chain from OMCO SUMO, specifically designed for poultry processing. This offering represents some of the first significant advancements in overhead poultry conveyor chain in decades, focused on helping processors achieve operational, food safety, sustainability, and ESG goals.

Log Chain for Meyn, Stork, Marel, Linco Systems

Our proprietary, sustainably manufactured 348 and link conveyor chains are assembled in the USA at our facility in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. SUMO-LYNX™ chains feature patented wheel options that consume 50% less lubrication, or even eliminate the need for lubrication altogether. These wheels have been proven to last up to 400% longer than the industry standard. And while wheels are typically not the limiting factor in poultry conveyor chain life, reduced bearing wear and a sustained lower coefficient of friction means less chain tension, chain and drive wear, and energy consumption.

SUMO-LYNX™ innovations improve corrosion and chemical resistance (including to chlorine and peracetic acid), reduce risk of hydrogen embrittlement, and enhance food safety from foreign debris. Engineered to reduce down time and improve operational efficiency and supported by proven industry experts, it is a sustainable, cost-saving, and highly efficient solution for the poultry industry.

Standard 348 and link chain”Quick-Ship” component inventories are building as of Fall 2023 to enable rapid configuration. We are committed to providing the fastest lead times and most accomodating service in the industry.

Poultry chain buyers need an objective source of data (at the company and factory level) to verify how and where the product is made. That’s why in 2021, OMCO SUMO launched a proprietary ESG Ratings Report for OMCO SUMO offshore components. This report is based on decades of close partnerships and sustainable sourcing throughout Asia. It includes detailed information about the ESG footprint and activity at OMCO SUMO subcontracted factories, brands they supply, and all local certifications.

Lifting the ESG Curtain on Chinese Bearing Manufacturing

Many factories can produce bearings that meet global standards (for example, ISO 6203–2RS) and are visually indistinguishable from premium brands. However, the production process and resulting product quality can be dramatically different, as well as the impact on the environment and society. To read more click here.
