Force Control Industries’ full lineup of MagnaShear, Posistop, and Positorq motor brakes and Posidyne clutch brakes are available in washdown configurations for food processing applications. While all oil shear products, by design, are totally enclosed in a heavy cast housing, the washdown option provides additional protection from moisture, water, saltwater, caustic spray and chemicals. Nickel plating protects the shafts from corrosion, and stainless-steel external fasteners, clamp collars and conduit boxes afford similar protection. Non-metallic elements such as breathers and sight gauges further eliminate corrosion. A Steel-It Epoxy Coating System, with a unique stainless-steel leafing pigment, protects the housing from common moisture and chemical agents, as well as ultraviolet rays, chemicals, oils, alkalis, food acids, water immersion, abrasion and high pressure wash down. This protective package is ideal for aggressive environments found in food and chemical processing facilities, meat packing plants, bottling plants, and more.
Oil shear technology is at the heart of Force Control products and allows them to last for significantly longer with virtually no maintenance or adjustment.
