Flexible Drives can be used in specialised tools within food processing.
Presentation within the food industry is critical, Fairport’s wide selection of casing allows for a clean premium product finish. Casing specifications vary greatly but Fairport is able to offer food grade coverings to their flexible drive shafts.
The products that Fairport typically provide to the food processing industry are for:
• Meat retrieval
• Food preparation
• Control systems
• Cleaning systems
Fairport’s flexible drive shafts are often used in harsh environments where a great deal of manoeuvrability of the tool is required, especially in meat retrieval. Traditional fixed transmissions would not be able to cope with the constantly changing tool positions and would not provide the comfort to the user of the tool. The flexibility also offers the ability to absorb any shock loads during the retrieval process and allows the power source to be kept at a safe distance. A choice of flexible drive casings can be provided where “food safe” materials are critical.
