Beverage manufacturing: FDA compliant and maintenance-free components

In addition to corrosion resistance and hygiene, speed plays an important role for this machine as up to 60,000 bottles are labelled every hour. Lubrication-free drylin® linear guides from igus® are used here.

igus® lead screw lifting modules from the drylin® product range are used at Fricke. The lead screw lifting modules work without lubrication and cause minimum abrasion. They also reduce costs

For more than 20 years, igus® components have been used at Küppersbusch GmbH as they have a long service life and need no additional lubrication. This not only makes them hygienic but also saves maintenance costs and time. One of the Küppersbusch filling machine has already completed 40 million cycles, whereby the first shaft and the first igus® plain bearings are still being used.

Since the most important safety standards for the protection of consumers are applicable in beverage and food technology, designers need products that do not require external lubrication. This is the only way to rule out contamination in food or beverages. Furthermore, there is  the need, amongst other things, for resistance to chemicals and corrosion, freedom from maintenance and low moisture absorption. These requirements are met by the drylin® linear modules and easy chain® energy chains used.
