Washdown-Resistant Pneumatic Cylinders, Delivered Fast
If you need washdown-resistant pneumatic cylinders and you need them fast, we can help. We offer an extensive lineup of pneumatic cylinders tailor-made for food and beverage equipment. These cylinders include food-friendly versions of our popular Pancake®, F-Series and NFPA cylinders.
For use in or near food contact zones, all these cylinders are available in 303 or 316 stainless steel as well as corrosion-resistant Delrin®. The cylinders feature corrosion resistant seals and FDA-approved lubricants. Many of our food-friendly actuators are standard models, ensuring the fast delivery times that the food industry demands. We can also quickly manufacture special products in stainless or Delrin® if one of our standard products doesn’t meet your requirements.
For those sections of your production line that don’t need washdown, we can recommend conventional cylinders from our broad portfolio. With our long experience in the food and beverage industry, we have the expertise to help you pick the right cylinder for the job.
