Food contact and caustic wash down are some of the parameters that must be addressed when designing machinery for the food industry. Turn-Act developed this Special Actuator for this type of manufacturing environment.

 

This unit consists of:

• 2600 in.lbs. 180º rotation
• Stainless shaft and fasteners
• Heads sealed for wash down
• Double end extended length shaft with ground tolerances to run in an external bearing
• Teflon® impregnated hard anodizing for caustic washdown

Improved actuator life and system cost reductions were the primary goals of this modified actuator. Overall, the design provided extended cycle life by limiting wash fluid entry points and reduced costs associated with assembling the components.
