Hygienic Cylinders Series HY
Production and packaging applications involving food and beverages often need specialist equipment to meet the strict hygiene standards required in these industry sectors. To stop the growth of pathogens and other potentially harmful agents in this process, efficient antibacterial cleaning is an accepted necessity.
That’s why SMC, the world´s leaders in pneumatic technology, have now developed a new range of hygienic designed cylinders, including a complementary auto switch ensuring maximum clean-ability. The complete HY range of hygienic cylinders consists of four model options which all feature the same smooth, easy to clean, exterior surfaces. Series HYC is a range of ISO/VDMA standard cylinders with a unique square profile, non-rising air cushion mechanism, providing improved water resistance and clean-ability. Series HYG offers increased lateral load performance, Series HYQ is an ultra compact space saving range and Series HYB, with its round profile body, finally completes the HY cylinder options.
To complement these ranges SMC have also developed a new rail mounted auto switch, Series D-F6, which is fully adjustable along the stroke length which provides improved cleaning benefits by having an intermediate space between the switch and the cylinder. Now with HACCP endorsement the HY range is particularly suitable for applications in food and beverage production and handling. High quality construction and special cylinder food grease, internal lubrication ensures a lifecycle performance to the high standards required of process environments.
