HEINRICH KIPP WERK has developed an indexing plunger that fulfils stringent hygiene requirements. Designed according to Hygienic DESIGN requirements, it prevents the adherence of dirt particles and eases the cleaning process. This makes the indexing plungers ideal for the inclusion on machines and systems used in the e.g. foodstuff and pharmaceutical industries and in medical technology.
The main features:
- The indexing plungers in Hygienic DESIGN are made of high-quality 1.4404 stainless steel, all materials are FDA conform.
- The components have a tapered collar so that the screw-in location can be hygienically and safely sealed with the matching sealing and shim washers.
- The structural components have a surface finish of Ra 0.8 µm which prevents the adhesion of dirt particles.
- The indexing plungers are resistant to polar and non-polar media as well as flavouring agents; they are also suitable for CIP/SIP cleaning processes.
KIPP offers versions with or without locking slot and with hardened or non-hardened indexing pins. The indexing plungers are available with 6 and 8 mm indexing pins and with standard or fine M10 and M12 threads. The shaft seal is optionally available in 70 EPDM 295 (black) or 75 Fluoroprene® XP 41 (blue). A matching Hygienic USIT® seal and shim washer made of the same material is also supplied, this can also be obtained as an accessory if required, item No. K1491. |
