There are strict regulations for food hygiene and safety in all stages of a process.
The free sample box from igus contains a selection of FDA-compliant plastics with certification to EU regulation 10/2011 suitable for use in food-processing machines and equipment.
Whether in forming, filling, weighing and sealing machines, tubular bag machines, pharmaceutical packaging machines or strapping machines and dosing systems – igus offers machine components that work without any external lubrication, so product contamination is ruled out completely.
As igus motion plastics require no additional lubrication, they are also maintenance-free.
Other benefits over their metallic counterparts include corrosion and chemical resistance, low humidity absorption and lightweight.
