Easier Cleaning and Lower Costs in Food Production
A food manufacturer experienced corrosion on mounts exposed to frequent cleaning with aggressive cleaning agents. The existing aluminium components deteriorated, leading to replacements and production stoppages.
Bondy developed a lightweight mount in 316L stainless steel that met the application’s hygiene requirements and the robots’ weight limits. The new mounts withstand repeated cleaning without corrosion or additional surface treatment.
Challenge
Strong cleaning agents degraded the original mounts, resulting in corrosion and frequent replacement.
Solution
Bondy designed a mount in 316L stainless steel, with reduced weight and rounded edges to support cleaning and avoid areas where bacteria could accumulate. The material and design were selected for the customer’s cleaning conditions and hygiene requirements.
Result
The new mounts resolved the corrosion problems experienced during cleaning and extended component service life. This reduced replacement frequency, maintenance requirements and operating costs.
Advice on material selection helped the customer achieve a solution suited to the food production environment and repeated exposure to cleaning agents.
