Do you have any metal detectable bearings?
Yes, materials that are also FDA/EU compliant, and iglidur® DT which is metal detectable only and blue, not FDA/EU compliant.
What temperature range can you cover with the FDA/EU compliant iglidur® bearings?
-100-+250 degrees long term, short term we can go to +315 with A500.
How do iglidur® bearings perform with wash-down solutions?
Very well, all are chemically resistant, and some have a moisture absorption of less than 0.1%.
I mainly use 304 Stainless Steel shafts, but on occasion 316 Stainless Steel, how do iglidur® bearings perform on these shafts?
Very well, we can match the material to suit your application, whether it be Rotation, Oscillation or Linear, we have a material to suit. We can even send you lifetime calculations.
If you don’t have a size I want, can you help me?
Yes certainly, we have most iglidur® materials available in bar form or plate form, so if we have a drawing, we can machine the parts for you.
My application is running above food product and I would like an energy chain that is FDA/EU compliant, do you have one?
Yes our TH3 range, and its also Blue. A very hygienic design, ideal for wash-down and FDA/EU compliant.
I emboss stainless steel and also occasionally Teflon or PTFE coat it to make sure we have a smooth low friction surface to run product over. Do you do anything that could do this ?
Yes, we can now coat Metals with our IC-05 material, similar to Powder coating, it gives a surface coating of between 80-120 microns, is Blue and also importantly, FDA/EU compliant. A very low friction surface.
Do you have materials that are used to prevent electro static discharges?
iglidur® F2 stock bar can be used to prevent electro static discharge.
