Lubrication and maintenance-free
iglidur® plain bearings and drylin® R linear guides are used in multihead weighers of the company Atoma GmbH. The components used are lubrication-free and insensitive to very thorough cleaning processes in food production.
Atoma GmbH
The company Walterwerk has been relying on lubrication-free bearing technology from igus® for many years. It is suitable for use in adverse ambient conditions, where machines are regular cleaned with aggressive media.
Walterwerk Kiel GmbH & Co. KG
drylin® linear guides, trapezoidal lead screws and igubal® flange bearings from igus® are used extremely precisely in sausage cutting machines of Singer & Sohn and, in contrast to needle bearings, are characterised by robustness, ease of cleaning and resistance to chemicals.
Singer & Sohn GmbH
In cutting machines of the company Treif, speed and acceleration play an important role. Corrosion-resistant drylin® linear beings and drylin® shafts are used.
Treif Maschinenbau GmbH
FDA-compliant polymers and certification according to EU regulation 10/2011
No lubrication, no product contamination
Temperature resistance
Corrosion-free
Low moisture absorption
Chemical resistance, acid resistance, resistance to alkaline and alcoholic cleaning agents
Maintenance-free
High wear resistance
Specifically in an industry reliant on quick, precise processing under hygienic and cost-effective conditions, the combination of kolsterising and high-grade plastics is expected to become the standard.
