System Plast NG Evo Introduces Dry Conveying Option for Food Packaging
Melissa Larson | September 2, 2014
Emerson’s Power Transmission Solutions business will introduce its new System Plast NG Evo conveyor chain at Pack Expo, featuring a proprietary, low-friction FDA-approved material for dry conveying in food packaging applications. NG Evo builds on the success of original NG chain, which is widely used for dry conveying in the bottling industry. The new chain provides a higher breaking load, greater elasticity, lower coefficient of friction and much greater abrasion resistance than the original. NG Evo significantly expands options for dry conveying to meet sustainability and water conservation goals, which will grow in importance for food packaging as the U.S. already grapples with regional water shortages.
System Plast NG Evo chain is an advanced, low-friction concept that can eliminate or greatly reduce wasteful water-and-soap lubrication typically used on food and beverage conveyors. It also reduces the costs and energy for water reclamation/treatment, and eliminates the wear paste buildup, noise pulsation and hygiene issues caused by mineral-oil-based dry lubricants.
