In accordance with the poultry producer, the direct contact between the partially processed birds and the change line required rigorous washdowns, which added extra pressure on the system.
This combination of maximum torque requires and frequent washdowns launched regarding the conveyor’s legacy velocity reducer know-how to fail each completely completely different month.
This led the flexibleness upkeep supervisor to contact Boston Gear to assist cope with the problem. Boston Gear modified the plant’s failing velocity reducer with the SS700 Gen2 velocity reducer which met the fit-form-function necessities of the flexibleness’s distinctive IP69K-rated stainless-steel velocity reducers whereas furthermore delivering key enhancements.
Key selections of the SS700 Gen2 velocity reducer embrace its Domed Crown curved design that
eliminates pooling of fluids all by way of washdown, field-installable shaft covers to guard in opposition to meals traps and put off security dangers related to rotating elements, and large output shaft bore sizes that allow using smaller velocity reducers whereas nonetheless supplying the torque ranges wanted.
Inside six months, the poultry producer well-known a rise in working lifetime of 300% with the SS700 Gen2. The design of the mannequin new velocity reducer furthermore encompasses a corrosion-free exterior—a key facet for the poultry producer’s utility.
