Winsmith upgrades Stainless Conveyor Drive

Winsmith will participate in the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 (Booth #5174). Winsmith will showcase an upgraded Stainless Conveyor Drive that features FDA-compliant blue plugs and a new Keyless Shaft Locking Device.

Launched in 2015, Winsmith’s new Stainless Conveyor Drive is IP69K certified to withstand high pressure, high temperature wash down and contamination. It is a speed reducer for food processing and industry applications including fruit and vegetable processing, according to the company.

The Stainless Conveyor Drive is available in five case sizes and more than 15,000 configurations. It features a single-piece design and sealed housing. All lubricant and drain plugs are accessible for maintenance checks and have been fitted with new FDA-compliant blue plugs that are both magnetic and x-ray detectable. These plugs have been pressure wash tested to 1450 psi.

The Winsmith Keyless Locking Device (KLD) shaft locking device is an upgrade that benefits food and beverage processors who want to simplify equipment maintenance, according to the company. The keyless locking system can be installed in minutes and reduces disassembly times by mitigating fretting corrosion, as well as downtime for field servicing, according to Winsmith.
