Follow on Google News | Fresh on the table: polymers for increased food safetyDetectable, lubricant-free, FDA-conforming, chemical-resistant and anti-microbial – igus polymer solutions for safe and residue-free food production
By: igus Making energy chains detectable Machine malfunctions or damage can never be completely excluded, even in the most modern of production lines. In order to guarantee that foreign particles can be picked up quickly and reliably in food in such cases, the detectability of materials is vital. For this reason, igus has developed a new polymer energy chain made of a detectable polymer. Even tiniest fragments of the blue material can be detected by all standard metal detection systems, and can thus be removed automatically. Customers from the food and pharmaceuticals industries can use the durable, corrosion-free and versatile polymer energy chains in their machines and lines without concern. The material is available on request for energy chains in the E2/000 and E4.1 series. Rotary table bearings with FDA-conform polymer Another new product for the food sector is from the “iglidur” PRT family of lubricant-free polymer rotary table bearings. The bearing of the PRT 01 design is made of corrosion-free stainless steel. The sliding elements between inner and outer ring are made of the “iglidur” material A180. As an FDA-conforming special polymer, A180 is suitable for contact with food and humidity. With their low-profile and rigid design, lubricant and maintenance- CFSPECIAL: anti-microbial sheathing material The igus “chainflex” For more information visit www.igus.co.uk End
