ICI Actuators for Food and Beverage
Featured Product from Indelac Controls, Inc.
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage applications demand actuators that are durable and reliable. They must be able to operate for long hours and be capable of withstanding frequent high-pressure hygienic wash downs that expose equipment to a variety of materials, including detergents, steam, caustic soda, citric acid, and other chemical solutions. These chemicals can be highly aggressive towards metal components, so the selected actuator must be appropriately designed with adequate levels of corrosion resistance.
ICI Actuators for Food and Beverage
Indelac Controls, Inc. (ICI) provides a full product line of electric actuators that have been specifically designed with features that make them ideal for operation in the food and beverage industry. Our NEMA 4-compliant housing enclosures protect electrical and mechanical components from incidental exposure to splashing water, food particles, and other mild liquids.
For enhanced corrosion resistance, our NEMA 4X-certified enclosures protect the actuator and its components from the corrosive agents present in chemical washdowns. This provides a viable alternative to shielding covers, which can complicate designs, occupy valuable space, and interfere with maintenance.
ICI’s fasteners and shafts are manufactured with series 300 stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance. For further protection against corrosive chemicals, enclosures may be optionally coated with epoxy coatings, electroless nickel plating, chromium conversion coatings, or anodized coatings for surface passivation and barrier protection. We also offer a comprehensive range of models to meet the torque requirements of any application:
Spring Return Electric Actuators
Quarter-Turn Electric Actuators
Internal Battery Back-Up Actuators
Facilities that produce fine or powder-like particles – such as flour mills – require even more specialized equipment. High concentrations of fine particles in the atmosphere may create ignitable, flammable, or explosive environments. For these applications, ICI offers actuators enclosed in explosion-proof NEMA 7 and NEMA 9 housing units. These enclosures are available for 12VDC and 24VDC power supplies and are rated for operation in Class I and II environments.
ICI’s electric actuators can be used for various food and beverage applications and processes including:
- Distillery automation
- Brewery automation
- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Tank farm automation
- Tank leveling
- Portioning
- Coolant processing
- Pressure relief
- Processing machinery and equipment
- Controlling temperatures for cooking oil
- Flow control
- Utility services (steam and water)
- Mixing valve automation
