Stefan Niermann interviewed by Lebensmittel TECHNIK
In the food processing industry, machines have to be cleaned daily with chemicals to prevent contamination. Even the smallest area that collects moisture can lead to problems. For this reason, many operators rely on components that comply with hygienic design guidelines. igus®, as a member of the EHEDG, has developed the first linear guide system made of FDA-compliant materials, such as the high-performance polymer igildur A160, high-alloy stainless steel and an inner part that can be easily cleaned.
In the largest plastics test laboratory in the industry, iglidur plain bearings and drylin linear technology are put through their paces.Among other things, they are tested for resistance to media (e.g.cleaning media), and for continuous loading and low-noise operation.The results are incorporated into our tools for service life calculation and enable exact predictions of durability.
Upon request, igus carries out customer tests to check product use under completely customised conditions.
