Polymer bearings manufacturer igus UK is offering knife-edge roller bearings that enable manufacturers in the food and beverage industry to increase process efficiencies.
The iglidur tribo plastic bearings are claimed to be reliable and lubrication free and, as a result, they offer excellent performance in conveyor systems.
igus knife-edge rollers have been developed to the specific demands of the food and beverage industry, such as operating temperature and FDA conformity.
According to Matthew Aldridge, director at igus UK, the plastic knife-edge rollers help to deliver goods carefully, conveying food and drink smoothly and efficiently along the manufacturing process in many applications.
Key features and benefits
* As the knife-edge rollers are manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant iglidur plastic materials, they are free from lubrication; as a result, they do not require any maintenance and they ensure a long lifetime and service life of the conveyor belt.
* The universal and robust iglidur P210 bearing material has low humidity consumption as well as good wear resistance and a long service life. Meanwhile, iglidur A180, an FDA-conforming all-round material, is ideal for applications with low to moderate loads in a food and humid environment.
* iglidur A350 is suitable for medium- to high-load applications. iglidur A180 provides excellent performance in temperatures up to 90°C, while iglidur A350 operates reliably in high temperatures up to 180°C.
* The thin knife-edge rollers allow narrow-deflection radii for optimal use of available space and a smooth delivery of goods that are especially difficult to handle.
* As the knife edges roll, rather than slide, they have a lower required driving power, which enables manufacturers to make energy cost savings.
