10 Reasons MITRPAK Is The Ideal Gearbox for Food and Beverage Processing Lines
- Enhanced Food Safety: MITRPAK® right angle gearboxes are engineered to prevent contamination risks in food processing environments. Their construction ensures that food materials are not exposed to harmful substances that could compromise food safety.
- Durability Against Corrosion: The gearboxes feature a corrosion-resistant hard-coat anodized aluminum housing, making them resilient against the wear-and-tear or corrosion commonly experienced in harsh food processing environments.
- Sealed and Maintenance-Free: Each unit is guaranteed sealed and lubricated for life, eliminating the need for re-lubrication and reducing the risk of leaks that could lead to contamination or equipment failure.
- Food-Grade Lubrication: For food industry applications, MITRPAK gearboxes can be equipped with food-grade lubricant that meets FDA requirements and carries the USDA “AA” rating, ensuring compliance with strict food safety standards.
- Precision Machining for Reliable Operation: MITRPAK gearboxes boast precision-machined spiral bevel gears with adjustable lock nuts, allowing precise hand adjustments. This feature ensures a smoother operation and extends the gearbox’s expected lifecycle.
- Versatility in Processing Conditions: Corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant properties make MITRPAK gearboxes suitable for various food processing and packaging applications.
- Resistant to Cleaning Agents: These gearboxes’ strength and durability mean they can withstand a range of cleaning methods, from high-pressure steam to chemical sprays and hot pressure washing, without deteriorating.
- Customization Options: Spiral bevel gearboxes are fully customizable and available in different rotation configurations and sizes to suit specific applications. Customization includes options for standard bonded shaft seals and petroleum-based grease or alternatives like food-grade grease and nitrile or Viton seals for enhanced food safety.
- Operational Efficiency: By meeting FDA regulations and providing a sealed, lubricated-for-life operation, MITRPAK gearboxes contribute to a highly efficient production operation, minimizing downtime and maintenance needs.
- Longevity and Cost-Effectiveness: Combining durable materials, customizable options, and maintenance-free operation results in a long-lasting gearbox solution that reduces the total cost of ownership and increases the return on investment for food processing facilities.
By integrating MITRPAK right angle gearboxes into canning lines, beverage processing can achieve a seamless, sanitary, and highly reliable operation that meets the stringent demands of the food industry while enhancing overall production capabilities.
