BSC’s Engineering Services As one of Australia’s largest suppliers of bearings, sealing and power transmission products, BSC recognises the positive impact that our specialised products have and do to enable our customers to gain superior value of their capital through the safe, reliable and efficient operation of their plant and equipment.

BSC have been actively working with our customers to deliver these outcomes for several years and we have achieved a level of experience and market leadership demonstrated with significant success across all market segments.

BSC Engineering Services provide specialized capabilities through condition monitoring programs including vibration analysis, thermography, and oil analysis.

Complementary corrective services such as laser alignment, balancing, ultrasonic leak detection, fitting and installation services, and major refurbishment services of bearings and mechanical equipment, ensure maximum plant up time.

We take things a step further, and not only provide you with the condition of your plant, but partner your business in root cause analysis projects to develop solutions to recurring issues. Add to this our sustainability program to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, whilst improving profitability and competitiveness; and utilize our range of tailored on-site training courses, and BSC are an integral part of your team.

CASE STUDY

Packaging - Can Plant Genius Inspection System Fan performs quality control after production and every can must be tested.

During the first round of measurements, after taking over the vibration program on site, BSC Engineering Services identified an imminent breakdown on equipment critical to the plants production.

Based on the results of the vibration analysis BSC coordinated replacement parts which enabled maintenance to be combined with a tooling change, saving approximately four hours of additional downtime. Four hours of production = $12,000 (paying for the 1st year of the preventative maintenance program)

ENGINEERING SERVICES Predictive Maintenance & Vibration Analysis

Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Program For Asset Optimization. Predictive maintenance (PdM) aims to find measures of machinery condition and use them to prevent breakdowns. Establishing trends allows accurate pinpointing of machinery problems and their severity. Increasing up time on machines is the primary aim, while reduced likelihood of secondary failures and less unnecessary maintenance are additional benefits.

Condition Monitoring is most frequently used as a Predictive or Condition-Based Maintenance technique. Condition Monitoring uses advanced technologies in order to determine equipment condition, and potentially predict failure.

BSC’s Predictive Maintenance Program utilises Azima DLI technology. AzimaDLI is a world leader in condition monitoring services to industry delivering a wide range of technologies and services that reduce maintenance costs whilst ensuring maximum equipment reliability.

The BSC – Azima Watchman Remote is a robust, automated monitoring and diagnostic service that links our customers’ critical equipment with our best systems engineers and analysts via automated alarms and advanced internet technologies 24/7. When an alert occurs our analysts are called into action immediately reviewing detailed machine data to assess condition and recommend the most cost effective actions available. Remote program benefits include reduced failure risk and allows for just-intime maintenance of equipment.

Our expertise spans all areas of condition based maintenance, including: • Vibration analysis.

• Onsite data collection.

• Lubrication analysis.

• Infrared thermography.

• Laser alignment.

• Failure analysis.

• In situ balancing.

• Installation.

Vibration Analysis This is the predominant technology employed in condition monitoring to determine the condition of various mechanical components and hence be able to make a prediction on service life expectancy and urgency of repairs.

It is a non-invasive technique which collects vibration data from machines under normal operating conditions. Vibration readings are typically taken at bearing locations following accepted industry practices and conventions. This raw waveform data is then transformed into a spectral format and processed with proprietary software which allows analysis to take place.

Vibration Analysis provides the best indication of machine condition and the presence of faults as it can detect imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing and gear defects, lubrication problems, resonance, and cavitation, amongst others. Trending data over time allows wear severity and progression to be monitored, improving the predictive capabilities.

A high degree of skill and training is required to be able to interpret vibration data. As such reports are tabled in non technical terms and use a traffic light system to illustrate the severity of the fault detected. Green suggests monitoring is within allowable limits, amber means a fault/issue has been identified and requires some attention or further monitoring, whilst red indicates a severe fault which requires immediate attention to avoid equipment failure.

Limitations of this technology are largely related to the frequency and operating conditions under which the data is collected.

Occasionally faults can develop quickly and failures occur before the next scheduled survey. Identifying critical equipment and understanding their maintenance history will assist in developing an appropriate program.

ENGINEERING SERVICES Energy Audits

Energy Reduction Program – Energy Audit Service Energy consumption can be reduced up to 40% by analysing inefficient and poorly designed drives and adopting good drive design practices.

The path to becoming an environmentally sustainable manufacturer begins with understanding how much energy you currently use and how you can reduce that consumption. BSC is very active in the reduction of our customers’ carbon footprint via the BSC Energy Audit Service (EAS).

The program focuses upon the meaningful reduction of energy consumption via power transmission and covers AC motor survey, analysis and upgrade recommendations to premium high efficiency super long life motors, gearbox analysis and upgrade, belt and chain drives analysis and upgrades.

CASE STUDY

Food Manufacturing Energy Audits for energy savings.

ENGINEERING SERVICES Corrective Services

Corrective Services BSC Engineering Services offer a wide range of corrective measures to complement your predictive maintenance program, or as stand alone services.

Laser Alignment Mis-alignment in mechanical systems such as motor/pump assemblies is a major factor in increased wear and premature failures.

Using traditional alignment techniques incorporating straight edges and dial indicators are extremely time consuming, subject to methodology errors, and physical limitations. Laser alignment techniques are both fast and accurate and reduce the potential for human error. Aligned equipment runs more smoothly, quietly and substantially increases component service life.

Modern laser alignment systems are extremely accurate and easy to use with clear colour screens, step-by-step instructions, and colour pictorial displays.

Balancing Unbalanced fans, pumps and rotors place undue stresses and additional loads on bearings, motors and couplings substantially reducing component service life, and potentially causing a catastrophic failure which can damage surrounding equipment and harm employees.

Often after major mechanical work on this type of equipment, rebalancing combined with alignment are required to ensure optimum operating efficiency. Onsite dynamic and static balancing is a service customers are requiring more frequently.

BEARINGS & SEALS Cam Followers

CORROSION PROTECTION

The difference being CorrotectR corrosion protection coating.

INA Cam Followers Cam Followers feature an enlarged thickness of the outer ring compared to standard bearings. This allows them to run directly on tracks and cam control plates. Crowned outer diameter on the outer ring allows some degree of misalignment which makes them suitable for use in machines with a lower degree of accuracy in the machine structure.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

APPLICATIONS • Blow moulding machines for PET bottles.

• Bottle filling machines.

• Bottle capping machines.

• Canning machines.

• Packaging Machines.

• Plastic-coated paper carton filling machines.

• Sealed versions protect raceways, rolling elements and lubricant against contamination.

• Available with or without stud for flexible mounting option.

• Available in corrosion protection coating Corrotect® to resist corrosive environment.

• Mostly executed with larger crowing of outer ring which reduces wear on tracks and cam plates.

• X-life generation for expanded operating life. X-life product surfaces have been significantly improved by advanced manufacturing methods so that under identical loads there is a reduction in the stress conditions present on the rolling elements and raceway.

CASE STUDY

Case Study Blow Moulding Machine Typically, blow moulding machines consist of single blow moulding units orientated in a circular arrangement. To ensure consistent quality of the product, process parameters need to be constantly the same. This includes opening and closing times and positions of the individual blow moulding dies.

This is achieved by using cam followers which interact either with a rotating circular control disc or a track. There is one cam follower per single die unit.

The arrangement has the function to control the vertical position and thus the associated opening or closing position of the die halves. By rotating the circular disc or track the cam follower is made to change its vertical position at defined positions with defined strokes.

The operation involves continual accelerations caused by sudden contact of cam follower outer ring with cam ramps. This also causes regular shock loads.

SOLUTION: Special stud type cam follower NUKR-series The cam follower is assembled in preloaded condition for improved handling of occurring shock loads.

CASE STUDY

Proofer Oven Chain Drive Support Bearings High volume commercial bread making involves a process called ‘proofing’.

Loaf sized steel moulds containing the bread dough pass through the proofing oven triggering the yeast and other ingredients making the dough soft and fluffy prior to passing through the baking oven. The manufacturer operates 24/7 – so reliability of the proofing process is critical. The environment is tough – with temperature extremes and bakery ingredients contaminating bearings and causing frequent bearing failures – every 2 months.

BSC inspected the application and recommended DVP17K075S Blue Brutes with the combined benefit of triple-lip sealing and the ability to set the bearings in a float/float situation. All of the bearings were replaced and 14 months later the original Blue Brutes are still going strong. This has provided the site with a huge boost in reliability and production downtime with a saving to the value of $192,000 over the past 12 months.

Locking Styles Perhaps you are replacing an existing bearing and you already know what kind of locking style you need. Or maybe you’re looking for a more durable bearing than what you’ve been using. Either way, you’ll be glad we offer four locking styles.

ECCENTRIC LOCK (LOCALLY STOCKED)

CONCENTRIC LOCK [SET SCREW]

A reduced eccentric offset results in more mechanical advantage.

This series provides a secure lock that is guaranteed not to release from a properly prepared shaft.

Two set screws at 60° provide maximum holding with minimal run out and simple installation. Available in single or double collar configurations.

TAPERED ADAPTER LOCK

V–LOCK® DOUBLE TAPERED LOCK (LOCALLY STOCKED)

We use a 2300 series adapter rather than a 300 series adapter for increased shaft contact. This design excels in applications where shaft centering is an issue.

Easy to install and remove, the QM Bearings exclusive V-Lock® locking mechanism (patent pending) evenly distributes force on the shaft, virtually eliminating fretting corrosion on properly prepared shafts.

SEALS An ineffective seal can quickly ruin any bearing and suddenly increase the total cost and inconvenience of your purchase. Think of seals as inexpensive insurance to protect your bearing investment. Timken recognizes the importance of well designed seals and secondary seal covers.

Consult BSC for guidance on how to choose the best seal combination for your application: • Double lip: nitrile (B) and Viton® (C).

• Triple lip: nitrile (M), Viton® (N) and urethane (O).

• High-speed labyrinth Teflon (T).

• Mechanical labyrinth steel (ML).

• Closed end covers (Urethane or Steel).

• Open end covers (Urethane or Steel).

• Contamination collars (CC).

• Flange backing plates (UFP and CFP).

CASE STUDY

Food Processing Plant Cooling Pump – Glass Line Tunnel A standard shaft mount gearbox that’s trapping a SN520 unit on a Ribbon Blender. The last change out took two men, 2 days at 8 hours a day.

Also an issue was the installation of a computer control tower between the drives unable to reach the gearboxes to get to the bearings without cutting the tower in half. The change out time is now estimated at a minimum of 3 days, 10-12 hours a day.

A Cooper Split Roller Bearing was installed by the manufacturer who took the opportunity to combine the installation as a training session for the fitters. Including the extra time this took the whole job was done in 2- 1/2 hours. Total saving is at least $5,000 or $100,000 if this had happened during production.

SPECIALTY COUPLINGS & LOCKING ELEMENTS ETP Locking Elements

STAINLESS STEEL

ETP-EXPRESS R The scientist Blaise Pascal formulated the principle of pressure propagation in liquids many years ago.

ETP has explored the many positive qualities in this principle, developed it further and applied it to hub-shaft connections.

PRODUCT FEATURES A hydraulic pressure medium confined in a double-walled sleeve is pressurized, with screws or with an external pump. The doublewalled sleeve expands in uniform and gives an even contact pressure against shaft and hub.

PRODUCT BENEFITS A locking assembly has many more and bigger screws which has to be tightened to a higher tightening torque. The most part of the tightening torque is just used to overcome the internal friction between the conical sleeves and does not create any higher transmittable torque.

The design with mechanical sleeves, with uneven wall thicknesses, causes uneven surface pressure to shaft and hub with high stress concentrations at the ends. This damages the contact surfaces and makes it difficult to get good concentricity.

The ETP-EXPRESS R with its internal pressure system, one screw which activates a piston, the same pressure is built up in the sleeve, thus the same level of transmittable torque is achieved.

Why tighten up to 15 screws when less, or even just one screw, gives higher torque transmission!.

APPLICATIONS Any machinery used in food production (e.g. bottling, conveyor systems) connecting electric motor and gearboxes to pulleys, sprockets, couplings etc. The utilisation of the ETP bushing allows for quick connection and is super critical in application especially where timing synchronisation is important without long down time.

CASE STUDY

Potato Processing Plant Located in Tasmania is one of the largest potato processing plants in Australia, processing potatoes from the farm to the finished frozen packaged product. A critical process in production is the grading of the product using two Welliver Diameter Roll Size Graders. Each Grader is driven by a serpentine chain drive which puts significant wear upon drive chain componentry and is one of the most demanding of chain applications.

BSC commenced a trial of Diamond 50-1 chain in this application as the previous product ANSI chain required complete change out every month on both Graders.

Replacing the original chain with Diamond provided ongoing benefits in the areas of: maintenance savings, materials spend reduction, production downtime savings and inventory reduction.

To date the original Diamond chain is still successfully operating in this extreme application.

The one month life previously being experienced has now been extended to 12 months and is still going strong.

RING LEADER® O-Ring Chain Special Lubricated Chain Specifically designed for applications that don’t permit regular lubrication, requiring the chain to depend entirely upon initial factory lubrication throughout its service life.

Note: Standard RING LEADER® O-Ring chain can routinely operate inambient temperatures up to 65° C. For higher temperature requirements,special O-rings can be substituted, allowing operation in temperatures of 200° C or greater.

Depending upon the specific conditions, RING LEADER® can provide up to ten times the wear life of standard chain.

RING LEADER® O-Ring chain is constructed with O-rings that seal a specially formulated lubricant into every joint. This sealed in lubricant is essential for the chain’s optimum wear life and the O-rings also help to seal out and protect the internal surfaces from dirt, contaminants and moisture.

Roller Chain Wearing Too Quickly – Produce Packaging A produce packaging company was looking for improved chain wear life on tomato sizing machine. Due to very damp and acidic working conditions, the roller chain would last no more than a month, much less than the expected 140 days.

An analysis by Diamond Chain found that not only was the acidity of the tomatoes corroding the chain, but the load of the machine was too large for the size of chain to handle. Diamond suggested that the company could greatly improve the longevity of its chain by switching from a standard carbon steel roller chain to either a larger sized, corrosion resistant chain or a specially lubricated chain from Diamond’s maintenance free series. Diamond’s

CASE STUDY

Ring Leader O-Ring® maintenance free chain was ultimately selected for this application.

The Ring Leader chain is a better match for this working environment as the o-rings keep out contaminants that can build up and damage the surface area of the chain’s pins and bushings while the sealed in lubrication provides additional protection to the moving parts, reducing wear and elongation and increasing the service life of the chain.

After switching to Diamond Ring Leader O-Ring chain, this produce packaging saw savings of $60,299.74 after one year and $301,498.68 after five years.

CHAIN Diamond Ace – Stainless Steel Chain

CORROSION PROTECTION

INDUSTRIES FOOD // BEVERAGE

Diamond Ace Corrosion/Moisture Resistant Chain Diamond ACE (Anti-Corrosion Exterior) chain is uniquely designed with electrochemical bonding process.

The anticorrosion exterior along with Diamond proprietary lubricant provides superior corrosion protection over standard carbon steel roller chain. Suitable for most wash down applications and outdoor use. Maintains the same wear life and working load of a standard carbon steel chain while aiding in corrosion resistance.

Ice Cream Manufacturer Due to the environment and regular wash downs the standard steel chains currently used were experiencing short wear life due to corrosion which caused link plates to fuse together. In addition, corrosion also formed internally covering Pin and bush, resulting in accelerated wear. A stainless steel chain was considered because of its good corrosion resistant properties but struggled to provide acceptable wear life.

The protective coating serves as an insulating barrier that actually oxides before the carbon steel base chain, thus protecting and preserving the chain’s physical and structural integrity. Common uses for Diamond ACE include applications exposed to weather, high humidity or on machinery that is routinely washed down with water.

Standard attachments are available.

CASE STUDY For this particular application Diamond ACE chain was recommended as a replacement. Supplied in a number of 4 pitch offset links and separate connecting links. These links were attached to the existing Stainless steel holders carrying the individual ice creams.

The Diamond ACE option extended chain life to 4 times that of standard chain with no sign of corrosion.

Canned Meat

This combination increases wear life of this chain over those constructed entirely of 300 series components.

CASE STUDY

A food processing plant focuses on producing canned meats – some 38 million cans per year. 50% is exported to over 20 countries and accounts for 10% of the world’s total sales of canned beef.

In July 2007 a wear analysis was conducted on the Diamond chain. The wear analysis shows 1% wear or less on the Diamond chain – providing an expected life of 3 years.

The customer was experiencing unacceptable wear from a leading Japanese manufacturer of chains used on the 6 retorts requiring chain replacement every 2 months.

Replacing the original Japanese chain with Diamond ANSI stainless steel chain ensures a significant production uptime outcome. In addition a saving of a minimum $25,920 in labor costs plus a whopping $272,863 saving in materials costs. Diamond ANSI stainless steel chain is now the specified chain in the retort application.

Coming to BSC for a solution the answer was to replace the Japanese brand chains with Diamond ANSI stainless steel chains. They commenced with a change to the Diamond ANSI stainless steel chains on the six retorts in June 2006.

CHAIN Attachment Chain – Light Duty

LOW MAINTENANCE

INDUSTRIES FOOD PROCESSING // BEVERAGE // PACKAGING // CONFECTIONERY // ABATTOIR // TIMBER // AGRICULTURAL // DAIRY // POULTRY

Attachment Chain – Light Duty ASME/ANSI & ISO British Standard, single-pitch and doublepitch chains are available with either attachment link plates or extended pins.

Diamond’s standard attachment hole sizes are designed to accommodate most common bolt sizes.

Special “made to order” attachments are also available with non standard hole sizes and alternative attachment shapes.

MATCHED LENGTHS Many applications require two or more chains, normally with attachments, to run in parallel “flights” joining the chains together forming a conveyor or transfer type system. In these cases it is critical to have the chains ordered as a set, matched for length and installed on the machinery with the same relationship to one another as when they were manufactured. Diamond offers two degrees of matching for parallel operation; Class I and Class II.

Class I – A Class I match assures that the longest and the shortest chain in a given set will not vary in overall length by more than .006”/ft. Using #80 chain as an example, the length of two 120 pitch long chains will not vary by more than .060” in overall length (10ft. X .006”/ft.=.060”). Therefore, the shortest could measure 120”+.000” (remember no negative tolerance) and, the longest could measure up to 120”+.060” and satisfy the Class I requirement. Class I matching is most often accomplished by assembling the chains from selected lots of components parts.

Class II – A Class II match is much more stringent and assures that the longest and the shortest chain in a given set will not vary in overall length by more than .002”/ft. Applying this new tolerance to the above example, the length of two #80 chains 120 pitches long will not vary by more than .020” in overall length (10ft. X .002”/ ft.=.020”). Therefore, the shortest could measure 120”+.000” and the longest could measure 120”+.020” and satisfy the requirement. Class II matching is quite difficult and requires some very unique procedures.

CASE STUDY

Carton Filling Machine Carton Filling Machine are used in most Dairies and Fruit Juice processing.

The latest carton filling machine can fill 14,000 cartons per hour. Four chains run the entire length of the machine. The process involves various stations to fill, glue, fold and dry.

Replacing the original 304 SS chain with Diamond 400 series has extended the chain life x 300%. Consequently re-tensioning chain and station adjustments is now only conducted annually.

The filling stations require adjustments once the chains have worn and usually take between 6 and 8 hours to completely re-adjust the chains and stations.

On a smaller machine that only produces 6,500 cartons an hour, it was estitmated an $80,000 down time cost pa in lost production alone.

Diamond 400 series is now the preferred replacement on most carton filling machines in Australia.

Total increased production = $400,000.

Available in numerous material variations, including LF (low friction) and TS (ultra low friction). A choice of straight running or radius, tabbed, bevel or magnetic options and material specifications provides the ideal belt for most environments. Ultra low friction provides smooth operation reducing wear and energy costs.

INDUSTRIES FOOD PROCESSING // BEVERAGE

Habasit TS EXTRA Low Friction Flat Top Chain • Ideal for high-speed dry running applications due to self lubrication over the entire service life.

• Low wear rate – lasts much longer than standard POM (acetal) materials.

• Reduced noise levels due to self lubrication.

• Reduced water consumption.

• Reduced energy consumption due to self lubrication.

• Quiet running – less pulsation / vibration.

• Reduced chain lengthening.

• High strength and excellent fatigue resistance.

• Ideal as a replacement for noisy steel chain.

Major Bottling Plant TS Series Habasit / KVP has been recently installed as the exclusive specification within a major bottling plant in Queensland.

In the past the plant had used standard low friction ‘LF’ acetal table top conveying chains throughout the site. The ‘LF’ series chains did the job, however this busy plant was consuming over 11 Million litres per annum in potable water in order to constantly lubricate the acetal conveying chains. The significantly increasing cost of water plus the social imperative to preserve what is the most precious and often taken for granted resource on our planet, were driving factors in the site’s decision-making process.

Habasit’s TS option for Flat Top chain, uses extra low friction resin technology, resulting in the lowest coefficient of friction, with special self-lubricating agents built into its molecular structure. Ideal for critical bottling applications, this chain is well suited to dry running applications. The benefits include, reduced water consumption associated with top chain lubrication. The extra low friction Habasit “TS” uses less energy than standard low friction models, which also contributes to smooth, effortless and quiet operation. Habasit TS, is dimensionally interchangeable with most LF products on the market, so there is no need to change out sprockets and wear strips unnecessarily. However, Habasit can also provide a special low noise sprocket option complete with a patented split sprocket / split bush and suitably compatible wear strips.

CASE STUDY The self-lubricating properties of the TS Series have resulted in the plant ‘turning off the taps’ as the need to water lubricate no longer exists. In straight water saving this saves the site over $15,000 per annum in water consumption costs alone. An additional benefit of moving from the ‘LF’ chains to the TS Series is the 240% - 270% extra life that will be achieved thanks to the harder-wearing nature of the special TS material. The TS Series table top conveying chain has proved to be a significant weapon in the battle to reduce ongoing operational costs in the areas of resource consumption and maintenance expenditure.

Run Dry Solution: Glass Bottle Conveying A large brewery was looking to cut down on the amount of water and lubricant it was using on its glass bottle filling conveyor lines. The chains were standard acetal and the engineering department approached [BSC / Inenco] to provide a lower friction chain material which would offer run dry capability on the same chain tracks and sprockets. [BSC/Inenco] and Rexnord visited site and recommended the PSX® [Platinum Series X®] material – a new material offering extra low fiction between product and chain and chain and wearstrip,

CASE STUDY with the proven strength of acetal. Asssited by Rexnord’s proprietary Chain Calculation Programme it was calculated that the new material could be run completely dry even in the corners and at even higher speeds. The brewery now has reduced water consumption, has increased safety by eliminating slippery flooring, and has also extended the wear life of the chain. A great result using PSX chains.

Smooth Surface Motors HMT with Worm - Helical Bevel - In-Line Helical

CORROSION PROTECTION

EASY CLEAN

Corrosion Resistant Aluminum Housing.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

Modern gear units need to be robust, compact, powerful, inexpensive - and above all, light: This is an advantage, because weight causes costs, especially if the gear unit has also to be transported during movement cycles. Because of this, aluminium alloy has become firmly established as a material for gear unit housings in many areas.

• Often there is no need for painting.

• Corrosion resistant for many applications.

• Good thermal conductivity (lower temperature).

• Easy cleaning.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS utilises many of the advantages provided by an optimised aluminium alloy for gear unit housings. In addition, the housing material has a certain level of corrosion protection and does not necessarily need to be painted. Last, not least, a housing made from aluminium conducts heat much better than a housing made from cast iron. This makes lower operating temperatures possible, which is good for the internal components of the gear unit and ensures a longer service life.

• Low weight.

• Smooth surfaces especially suitable for applications in the Food and Beverage industry.

INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT SYSTEMS Multiple Point Lubricators

Automatic Lubrication Systems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reduce Costs and Maximise Efficiency GREASING DURING OPERATION

REDUCED DOWNTIME

The optimal time to grease is during operation when small quantities of grease are distributed to each grease point many times per day ensuring the best possible lubrication and maintaining a protective barrier against water and particle contamination.

Manual lubrication is eliminated saving hundreds of hours.

Component failures leading to lost production and repairs are also greatly reduced.

REDUCED COMPONENT WEAR Because critical components are constantly supplied with fresh grease, mechanical wear is greatly reduced.

NO GREASE POINT CAN BE MISSED Difficult, dangerous and hard to reach grease points cannot be missed. Optimal lubrication is maintained at all times regardless of schedule servicing.

ENGINEERING SUPPLIES Stainless Steel Fasteners

Stainless Steel Fasteners Stainless steel fasteners are widely used in food and beverage manufacturing and processing industries for manufacture, bulk storage and transportation, preparation and presentation applications. Depending on the grade of stainless steel selected, they are suitable for most classes of food and beverage products.

PRODUCT FEATURES • Most containers, pipework and food contact equipment in stainless steels is manufactured from either 304 or 316 type austenitic stainless steels.

• The 17% chromium ferritic stainless steel (430 type) is also used widely for such applications as splashbacks, housings and equipment enclosures, where corrosion resistance requirements are not so demanding.

• In addition to these non-hardenable austenitic and ferritic types higher strength ‘duplex’ types, such as grades 1.4362 and 1.4462 are useful for ‘warm’ conditions (i.e. over 50°C) where stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can be a corrosion risk, such as in brewery sparge tanks.

PRODUCT BENEFITS OF UTILIZING THE CORRECT GRADE If the grade of stainless steel is correctly specified for the application, corrosion should not be encountered. Surface finish and condition is very important to the successful application of stainless steel fasteners. Smooth surfaces not only promote good cleansibility but also reduce the risk of corrosion.

The types of corrosion to which stainless steel fasteners can be susceptible are summarised below. This can be useful in identifying problems due to wrong grade selection or inappropriate use of equipment.

PITTING AND CREVICE CORROSION. • Both crevice and pitting corrosion occur most readily in aqueous chloridecontaining solutions. Although attack can occur in neutral conditions, acidic conditions and increases in temperature promote pitting and crevice corrosion.

• Pitting corrosion is characterised by local deep pits on free surfaces.

• Crevice corrosion occurs in narrow, solution-containing crevices or sharp reentrant features in a structure. Examples of potential sites for crevice corrosion are under washers, flanges and soil deposits or growths on the stainless steel surface.

STRESS CORROSION CRACKING. • ‘SCC’ is a localised form of corrosion characterised by the appearance of cracks in materials subject to both stress and a corrosive environment. It usually occurs in the presence of chlorides at temperatures generally above 50°C. INTERGRANULAR CORROSION. • ‘IGC’ or ‘ICC’ (known in the past as ‘weld decay’) is the result of localised attack, generally in a narrow band around heat affected zones of welds.

This is more likely to occur in the ‘standard’ carbon austenitics.

The risk of IC attack is virtually eliminanted if the low carbon (0.030% maximum, eg 1.4307) or the ‘stabilised’ (eg 1.4541) types are selected.

Applications TYPES

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Cooks and professional knives, spatulas etc .

Table surfaces, equipment cladding, panel (ie components requiring little formability or weldability). Used for moderately corrosive environments (e.g. vegetables, fruits, drinks, dry foods, etc).

304 (austenitic)

Vats, bowls, pipework, machinery parts (i.e. components requiring some formability or weldability). Corrosion resistance superior to 430.

316 (austenitic)

Components used with more corrosive foods (e.g. meat/blood, foods with moderate salt contents), which are frequently cleaned, with no stationary solids and not under excessive stress.

1.4539 (austenitic) 1.4462 (duplex) 6%Mo. types (austenitic)

Used with corrosive foods (e.g. hot brine with solids that act as crevice forms, stagnant and slow moving salty foods).

PLASTICS Plastics

Plastics Range Whenever food is being packaged or prepared, clean and sterilisable surfaces and vessels are critical. Plastics play a key role in mixing, cooking, packaging and transportation of all types of food.

UHMW-PE. (POLYETHYLENE) The diverse uses of UHMW-PE range from standard wear applications to rollers, guides, gears, and impellers. Excellent slide friction properties and good wear resistance are among the major attributes of this material. UHMW-PE is available in a wide variety of standard sheets, rods and custom profile extrusions (half-rounds, angles, channels, etc.).

ACETAL A well-recognised engineering thermoplastic widely used in many applications where close tolerances and dimensional stability are critical. Acetals are stiff, strong, scratch-resistant, and chemicallyresistant, however, Acetals should NOT be used where chlorinewater is present, as the surface may be degraded.

POLYCARBONATE (PC) & ACRYLIC IMPACT MODIFIED Guarding is the main application. Some food processing machinery sight windows require glass-like transparency, FDA compliance and excellent impact resistance. With these material parameters, Impact Modified Acrylic is sometimes the only suitable material, especially, where components must be machined to close tolerances.

PET-P PET-P offers the dimensional stability of Acetal with the wear resistance of nylon. Applications are in parts with high wear and wet environment due to its excellent resistance to water and a broad range of pH (2.0 to 9.0).

PTFE (TEFLON) Typically used for seals, gaskets, fittings, and non-loaded parts.

PTFE (Teflon) Heat Sealing Tapes and Conveyor Belts: • Tapes are most frequently used in heat sealing applications within the packaging industry for covering sealing jaws in packaging machines.

• Band sealing belts are largely used in continuous rotary packaging machinery for products as frozen foods, pet foods, powders, liquids and grains.

• Wrapper belts are found where items like toilet tissue rolls, soap, biscuits packets are required sealing on both ends.

• PTFE coated solid woven glass belting is widely used in food manufacturing because of its non-stick nature it is ideally used when cooking foods that would have a tendency to stick to hot cooking platens.
