Slicing machine

For cutting cold cuts and placing dividers

The slicer from the SEGHE company in Brazil not only uses our drylin linear technology, but also iglidur plain bearings.
The machine mainly cuts cheese blocks into slices and places a separating paper between the slices. This process requires components that are approved for food contact and are easy to clean. Another advantage of our igus products is their freedom from lubrication. No additional lubricant is required, nor are our parts lubricated. This means that no one needs to worry about the dangers of contamination of the goods.

Problem

The SEGHE SG-1 must be available every day without failures for the preparation of cold cuts, mostly cheese, and for placing the separating film between the slices. All components must be resistant to lactic acid and cleaning agents, but at the same time they must not release any contaminating substances into the cold cuts or contaminate them with lubricants. All parts must therefore be allowed to come into contact with food.

Solution

With igus we were able to find a solution for our SG-1 on site in the south of Brazil. Since all components are lubrication-free, we were able to eliminate the problem of contamination of the cold cuts. Thanks to the certified plastics, the SG-1 can be cleaned without any problems and works reliably and in a strong manner.
