FDA compliant and maintenance-free: components for beverage production

Filling, labelling, palletising, cleaning: wherever beverages are produced, the demands on machines and systems are high. Hygiene regulations must be observed, precise format adjustments and fast movements must run smoothly, and system components must withstand aggressive cleaning agents. We offer machine components made of high-performance polymers, which are used precisely here. They are abrasion-resistant, lubrication-free, easy to clean, resistant to chemicals and corrosion and have low moisture absorption.

Benefits of igus products:

Lubrication and maintenance-free
Resistant to chemicals and corrosion
Low moisture absorption
Easy to clean
Save installation space and weight
Fast delivery

Application examples of our customers

Sleevematic TS labelling system

Successful cooperation for more than 25 years

A wide range of igus® products are used in the Sleevematic TS. From lubrication-free drylin® polymer nuts in the belt station and sleeve brush, and drylin® profile guides in the inlet and outlet sensor, up to drylin® SLW lead screw lift tables in the preliminary shrinkage process and for height-adjustment of the guide rollers.

Innoket Neo labelling machines

High precision and extremely high speed

In addition to corrosion resistance and hygiene, speed plays an important role for this machine as up to 60,000 bottles are labelled every hour. Lubrication-free drylin® linear guides from igus® are used here.

Filling machine

Maintenance-free positioning of the filling head

igus® lead screw lifting modules from the drylin® product range are used at Fricke. The lead screw lifting modules work without lubrication and cause minimum abrasion. They also reduce costs

iglidur® bearings already in use for 40 million cycles

For more than 20 years, igus® components have been used at Küppersbusch GmbH as they have a long service life and need no additional lubrication. This not only makes them hygienic but also saves maintenance costs and time. One of the Küppersbusch filling machine has already completed 40 million cycles, whereby the first shaft and the first igus® plain bearings are still being used.

More about this application

Control device for industrial test processes

Since the most important safety standards for the protection of consumers are applicable in beverage and food technology, designers need products that do not require external lubrication. This is the only way to rule out contamination in food or beverages. Furthermore, there is the need, amongst other things, for resistance to chemicals and corrosion, freedom from maintenance and low moisture absorption. These requirements are met by the drylin® linear modules and easy chain® energy chains used.
