Use of igus® products in the beverage manufacturing
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.

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.

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.
