Customised bearings for hygiene-sensitive multihead applications

Newly developed bearing technology is used in Multipond multihead weighers.

Profile

  • What was needed: iglidur plain bearing, drylin linear bearing
  • Requirements: High precision, lubricant-free, low wear, corrosion resistance, resistance to cleaning processes under hot steam and high pressure as well as when using aggressive media.
  • Sector: Food industry
  • Success for the customer: Whereas previously the right material was selected for the specific area of application, today a single iglidur material is used that covers all properties in terms of temperature spectrum, electrical conductivity and hygiene. Newly developed linear housings made entirely of stainless steel have also been launched. Multipond thus achieves improved corrosion resistance.
