High-pressure hot water, foam cleaning agents, frequent rinsing
In food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries#FESTO#Xiamen Shengyuanke Trading Co., Ltd.
This is the daily routine for many devices.
It’s not difficult to withstand extreme rinsing in the short term,
but the challenge lies in enduring long-term corrosion, moisture, and cleaning agents.
Can it still operate stably after temperature fluctuations?https://heiautomation.com/
Therefore, for such production environments
A truly professional sports system must meet two criteria simultaneously:
Adaptability to harsh environments:
Corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, withstands high-pressure washing, and compliant with regulations
Long-term operational stability:
Reduced maintenance, extended lifespan, guaranteed accuracyhttps://www.youtube.com/@%E6%9B%BE%E6%85%A7%E5%A9%B7-z6j/shorts
To address this common challenge across industries,
Festo introduces the EPRF-BS stainless steel rodless electric cylinder +
EMMH-AS Stainless Steel Servo Motor
From materials, sealing, lubrication to structural design
All focused on one goal:
Achieving long-term, reliable operation in harsh environmentshttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087291657130
Corrosion resistance and wash resistance:
Not only “able to bear it”, but also “able to do so for a long time”
Acidic gases in the chemical workshop, alkaline cleaners in the food production line, salt fog erosion of marine equipment… When ordinary carbon steel or aluminum alloy are exposed to such environments for long-term operation, they are prone to rusting and pitting, which in turn affects the motion accuracy and sealing stability.
The EPRF-BS adopts a 1.4404 / 316L stainless steel casing. The material itself has excellent corrosion resistance and no additional coating protection is required. Additionally, the IP69K protection level combined with the double sealing structure inside and outside the piston rod further enhances the long-term sealing reliability of the equipment in environments such as high-pressure water guns.https://heiautomation.com/about/
For production lines that operate continuously over a long period of time, a more stable corrosion resistance and sealing capability also means: fewer unplanned shutdowns due to environmental erosion.
Reduce equipment maintenance:
Devote time to productionhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087291657130
Frequent cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and replacement of seals – these seemingly “minor” tasks are actually consuming a lot of manpower and reducing the efficiency of the production line.
The surface of 316L stainless steel is smooth and does not easily retain dirt, allowing for an extended cleaning cycle. The dual sealing structure significantly reduces the frequency of seal failure. For continuous production scenarios, the maintenance frequency is lowered and the production line operates more stably.
Health and Compliance:
Reduce health hazards at their source
The hygiene risks in the food and pharmaceutical industries often do not come from “large areas of surfaces”, but from: crevices, accumulated liquids, sharp edges, and inaccessible structures – these details are prone to become breeding grounds for bacterial residue in a long-term humid environment.
Therefore, the hygienic structural design of the EPRF-BS + EMMH-AS electric drive combination, with its overall rounded appearance, eliminates any potential hygiene blind spots. The internal use of NSF-H1 food-grade lubricant complies with the EC 1935/2004 food contact requirements, further meeting the long-term hygiene compliance requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.https://heiautomation.com/contact-us/
Anti-stick and anti-clogging:
Viscous materials no longer “stick around and refuse to leave”
In food processing, dough, syrup, and oil; in chemical production, powders and colloids – these viscous materials tend to adhere to the surface of equipment, causing blockages, inaccurate positioning, and even fluctuations in product quality.
The smoothness and chemical inertness of the stainless steel surface inherently reduce the possibility of adhesion. Combined with mirror-polished treatment, there is almost no place for residues to settle. This helps the equipment maintain stable action repeatability and positioning ability during long-term operation.
Not just adapting to the environment:
More precise motion control is also required.
With the increasing demand for flexible production and automatic model switching, the drive systems in the hygiene environment have also begun to take into account additional aspects: motion accuracy, response speed, and continuous operation capability.
The EPRF-BS, in combination with the EMMH-AS stainless steel servo motor, can meet the requirements of precise positioning and flexible movement.
The EMMH-AS is equipped with a multi-ring absolute encoder, eliminating the need for batteries – the position information remains intact even after power loss, and no additional zeroing is required upon restart, further reducing downtime and maintenance impacts.
Meanwhile, EPRF-BS offers a maximum travel of 1000 mm and an input force of up to 12.5 kN; EMMH-AS supports various specifications, lengths and brake configurations, and can adapt to different equipment structures and application scenarios.https://heiautomation.com/contact-us/
