Slip Rings in Food Processing

Slip Rings in Food Processing

At Orbex Group, we understand the unique challenges faced by the food processing industry, where machinery must operate efficiently under demanding conditions, including exposure to harsh environments, frequent washdowns, and strict hygiene requirements. Our range of IP65-rated slip rings is specifically designed to meet these challenges, ensuring reliable performance in even the most stringent food processing applications.

Our slip rings, constructed with stainless steel housings, are engineered to resist corrosion and withstand regular exposure to caustic cleaning agents and extreme temperatures. This makes them ideal for food processing equipment that requires frequent sanitation, such as bottling lines, packaging machines, mixers, and conveyors. With the ability to operate in environments ranging from -40°C to 80°C, our slip rings are built to last, providing up to 80 million revolutions of reliable performance.

Take, for example, an application in automated bottle-filling lines, where precise and continuous operation is crucial. Our slip rings ensure uninterrupted power and high-speed data transmission to the rotating filling heads that is required to synchronize the high-speed filling and capping of bottles. This allows for uninterrupted productivity and also ensures that the stringent hygiene standards of the food and beverage industry are maintained. The ability of our slip rings to handle both power and high-speed Ethernet data channels ensures that the machine’s control systems remain synchronized, even during rapid, continuous operation.

At Orbex, we also understand that every operation is unique. That’s why we offer customizable slip rings that can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of your food processing applications. Whether you need specific through-hole sizes or a combination of power and signal circuits, different materials, or connections our team is ready to provide solutions that fit your exact needs.

With our slip rings, you can trust that your food processing equipment will operate reliably, safely, and efficiently, ensuring compliance with the industry’s strict standards while maximizing productivity.
