If run to failure is no longer an option, food and beverage processors have alternative ways to keep their equipment running at peak performance levels; they can plan maintenance schedules based on OEM suggestions.
RoHS-compliant, Winco GN 933.5 hexagon head screws come in metric sizes with a brass tip, nylon tip or spherical pivot; the body is made of stainless steel, European Standard 1.4301 (American Standard 304).
NSF certified for food equipment materials, Solvay Amodel polyphthalamide (PPA) and KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK) resins are used for boilers, beverage dispensers, water tanks, cutting boards, stock pots, tubing, gaskets, chassis, pistons and valves.
Lehvoss LUVOCOM 70 series poly-ketone compounds offer high temperature and chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, low permeability, weld line strength and processability.
Approved for use by US and European regulators, Freudenberg Fluoroprene XP fluorinated universal material for process seals resists water-based and fatty media.
SLIDEWAYS plastic components for conveyors and packaging equipment include guide rails, roller chain guides and sprockets, extrusions for traditional and high-temperature applications, rollers, pulleys, bushings and levelers.
Extending the wear resistance of stainless steel (SS) components used in food manufacturing equipment operating on production lines lengthens replacement intervals and minimizes potential component failure, resulting in decreased downtime and improved cost savings—a long, sought-after goal of any maintenance department.
Legrand, Pass & Seymour rubber and watertight plugs and connectors are designed for highly corrosive and wet industrial locations, such as food and beverage processing, water and wastewater, warehousing and refrigeration facilities.
