It prevents contamination of dedicated space assists in temperature regulation and keeps contaminates out of the work environment. FEATURES Standard colors widths lengths and gauges available Easy on-site install Prevents contamination Provides temperature regulation between indoor and outdoor environments Tolerant to extreme temperatures between 0F and 150 F TYGON TUBING GUIDE RAILS
MATERIAL PVC NEOPRENE URETHANE FLUOROCARBON Transfer of semi-solid and liquid fluids processed specifically for meat processing requires strict standards as well as certifications. Tygon is a food-grade tubing solution for filling draining and transfer applications. Tygon products are tasteless odor-free tear-resistant do not harbor bacteria and are FDA USDA NSF or 3A Dairy compliant. MATERIAL UHMW Moving goods to each processing station along conveyor systems relies on guide rails to control product movement and ensure products remain on the conveyor. UHMW guide rails are non-absorbent selflubricating and corrosion resistant enabling improved efficiency with minimal hang-ups while maintaining easy sanitation. UHMW is FDA USDA and 3A-Dairy compliant. FEATURES FEATURES FDA USDA NSF 3A-Dairy compliant High flex and bend radius Non-porous material is easy to cleansanitize Durable and tear-resistant FDA USDA 3A-Dairy compliant Easy to form machine Low coefficient of friction Temperature range 45F - 180F Non-stick surface Meat Processing MACHINE GUARDS MATERIAL POLYCARBONATE Polycarbonate is used as a clear machine guard in meat processing and preparation creating separation between the worker and cutting or packing equipment. Clear polycarbonate allows CUTTING BOARDS the operator to monitor the cutting or packing process safely behind an optically clear virtually unbreakable barrier. MATERIAL HDPE Cutting boards are used in many protein applications to process meat. HDPE will not dull knives like wood FEATURES and is made to last in the most demanding commercial environments. It is easy to clean easy to maintain will not Cut-to-size and close tolerances available High impact resistance Fabricates easily Cold formable Reduces noise rot or splinter. Even more HDPE complies with the FDA and is tested and certified by the NSF for a sanitary work surface. FEATURES CONVEYORS MATERIAL UHMW Conveyors used in meat processing must be able to withstand temperatures
sometimes approaching near freezing but also must be easily cleaned and sanitized Non-porous and light weight Oversize and cutto-size sheets Will not chip crack or warp Smooth and matte finishes available Easy on-site installation to avoid cross contamination. UHMW is uniquely suited for this application thanks to its superior wear resistance self-lubrication and corrosion resistant properties while still being FDA USDA and 3A-Dairy compliant. FEATURES Self-lubricating Wear and corrosion resistant Excellent noise abatement Maintains key physical properties to -30C FDA USDA 3A-Dairy Compliant Industrial Solutions 3 Food Beverage MACHINE GUARDS MATERIAL POLYCARBONATE Polycarbonate is used as a clear machine guard in the food and beverage industry creating separation between the operator and specific machinery parts. Polycarbonate windows can be installed around potentially dangerous mechanisms or moving parts to protect operators while maintaining high visibility of the operation. FEATURES Cut-to-size and close tolerances available High impact resistance Fabricates easily Cold formable Reduces noise GUIDE RAILS MATERIAL UHMW Moving goods to various filling stations throughout the facility relies on guide rails to control product movement and ensure products remain on the conveyor. UHMW guide rails are non-absorbent selflubricating and corrosion resistant enabling improved efficiency with minimal hang-ups while maintaining easy sanitation. UHMW is FDA USDA and 3A-Dairy compliant. FEATURES FDA USDA 3A-Dairy compliant Easy to form machine Low coefficient of friction Temperature range 45F - 180F Non-stick surface Food Beverage TYGON TUBING MATERIAL PVC NEOPRENE URETHANE FLUOROCARBON Fluid transfer can be especially challenging depending on the type viscosity and various other properties that may be present. Transfer of semi-solid and liquid fluids processed specifically for food and beverage requires SEMI-FABRICATED PARTS strict standards as well
as certifications. Tygon is a food-grade tubing solution for filling draining and transfer applications. Tygon products are tasteless odor-free tear-resistant do not harbor bacteria and can be FDA USDA NSF or 3A Dairy Compliant. MATERIAL HDPE UHMW NYLON TEFLON Starwheels gears bushings and bearings are just a few of the many different plastic parts used inside food and beverage processing equipment. From organizing bottles passing through a filling station maintaining pressurized FEATURES seals or ensuring consistently smooth conveyor movement plastic fabricated parts increase material FDA USDA NSF 3A-Dairy compliant High flex and bend radius Non-porous material is easy to cleansanitize Durable and tear-resistant production reduce equipment downtime minimize product damage and mitigate manufacturing noise. FEATURES Corrosion resistant Self-lubricating Light weight High temperature formulations Performance increasing additives Industrial Solutions 5 Pulp Paper TIPPLE ARM MATERIAL UHMW Tough impact and corrosion resistant materials are absolutely necessary when it comes to handling felled logs. Tipple arms are no exception. UHMW is recommended over comparable metallic materials due to its longevity impact resistance and material lubricity. FEATURES Will not chip crack or warp Lightweight characteristics Easily fabricated 17th the weight of metallic material MACHINE GUARDS SEMI-FABRICATED PARTS MATERIAL POLYCARBONATE Logging equipment can be some of the most dangerous equipment to operate and ensuring proper protection for operators is paramount to safety. Polycarbonate can be used in many places to protect operators from various hazards. Polycarbonate cab glazing for tipple arms dozers and other heavy machinery ensures a virtually unbreakable barrier between operators and possible flying debris or fallen logs. MATERIAL HDPE UHMW NYLON TEFLON Many plastic materials can be used in the pulp and paper industry due to their abilities to withstand hars
h and corrosive environments. Plastic gaskets gears bushings and bearings are commonly used inside of many different pieces of equipment while heavy machinery can be equipped with outrigger pads with UHMW feet. Compared to metallic parts plastic fabricated parts wont corrode or rust and offer less downtime with increased efficiency. FEATURES FEATURES Cut-to-size and close tolerances available High impact resistance Fabricates easily Cold formable Corrosion resistant Reduces noise Self-lubricating Light weight High temperature formulations Performance increasing additives Pulp Paper CONVEYORS MATERIAL UHMW Conveyors are commonly used within the pulp and paper industry to move felled logs and processed pulp around the manufacturing facility. UHMW performs this job exceptionally well due to its anti-static low coefficient of friction and self-lubricating properties. HOPPERS CHUTES LINERS As a result it holds up well in even the most extreme environments thanks to its superior wear and corrosion resistance. MATERIAL UHMW Large loads and corrosive chemicals are the expected norm for industrial equipment being used by loggers and paper FEATURES manufacturers. Many pieces of equipment can gain great benefits from lining various chutes hoppers and truck beds Promotes bulk material flow Excellent in high load high-speed abrasive applications Eliminates arcing ratholing and erratic material flow Self-lubricating Wear and corrosion resistant Excellent noise abatement Maintains key physical properties to -30C with UHMW to improve material flow increase efficiency and improve equipment lifespan. UHMWs superior wear resistance low coefficient of friction and corrosion resistant properties make it an excellent performer for these severe environments.
