Electrostatically dissipative iglidur AX500 tribo-polymer ensures maintenance-free applications with food contact iglidur AX500 gives igus a new, wear-resistant material for the food industry that is electrically dissipative and can be used at high temperatures. In bearing points in the food and packaging industries, temperatures and speeds are frequently high. Ensuring that mechanisms function reliably requires […]
Black guide roller with smooth-running polymer ball bearings saves up to 48 per cent weight and 42 per cent mass inertia Easy and lubrication-free guidance of labels with xiros polymer ball bearing in the new black guide roller. They divert films or labels: guide rollers with ball bearings. Mainly used, so far, in clear anodised […]
Convincing display by new xirodur material for ball transfer units in static conductivity test The lubrication-free tribo-polymer xirodur F182 makes xiros ball transfer units are not only very durable, but also electrically dissipative. This gives the operator of ball tables the security that goods in transit or the employees are not bothered or endangered by […]
Anyone who’s worked with metallic insert bearings is likely aware of the frequent — and frankly tedious — relubrication efforts required for such components. Without the proper lubrication, these bearings are almost certain to wear prematurely and fail, leading to costly downtime and lost production. This may seem like an unavoidable reality, however there’s a […]
Bearings are on just about every machine imaginable in the packaging industry: tray sealing, dosing, cartooning, form fill and seal, tubular bagging, and sleeving and wrapping applications, just to name a few. So it is easy to see how machine builders and designers, whether for general packaging or the food and beverage industry, could bite-off more than […]
igubal spherical bearings are self-aligning bearing elements manufactured completely from polymer and are therefore very lightweight. They are perfect for use in weighing systems. Individual scales, but also multihead weighers, can be found in various types of packaging machines (such as bag forming, filling and sealing machines). Because the products to be weighed and packaged […]
The following blog provides tips for selecting the right guide roller for each application. Tip 1: Determine the load profile- At the beginning of each selection process, the conveyor system design engineer should determine the requirements for the drive rollers and guide rollers. They will often notice that they can use more cost-effective guide rollers […]
When a new product is being developed for food, packaging, or beverage machine test phase, receiving prototype samples of a plain bearing or other machined components as quickly as possible is very important. iglidur polymer bar stock allows such components to be manufactured easily … with no minimum order quantity. It is available as plates, […]
Knife edge rollers are designed to reduce the gaps and ensure safe transfer of small parts from one conveyor belt to another. Especially in the food & packaging industry, during transfer of small food products like cookies, cakes, biscuits, pasta products, they may slide into the gap between the two conveyor belts if there is a […]
In the Packaging, food & beverage industry, implementation of precise format adjustments is a must for maximizing the flexibility of machines & equipments like filling or labelling machines for bottles or cans or also for equipments for entry lanes in beverage industries. To solve this problem, igus supplies you with machine components made of high-performance […]
