iglidur A160 knife edge rollers - hygienic, durable and ideal for applications involving food
The iglidur A160 knife edge rollers have been specifically developed for use in sensitive hygiene zones and impress with their outstanding material specifications. Due to their food-grade quality in accordance with FDA and compliance with EU 10/2011, they are ideal for direct contact with food and meet the highest safety standards in the food industry.
The blue high-performance material is not only visually detectable, but also extremely resistant to chemicals. This makes the knife edge rollers perfect for applications with intensive and frequent cleaning cycles - for example in conveyor systems or packaging lines. They ensure reliable and smooth belt deflection even under demanding conditions.
Compared to conventional materials such as standard POM, the iglidur A160 rollers last up to four times longer (tested at 0.5MPa and 0.6m/s with 304 stainless-steel shaft). At the same time, they are an economical low-cost alternative to iglidur A250, especially at lower speeds and loads.
Another advantage: the knife edge rollers work entirely without lubrication or maintenance. This minimises the risk of contamination and ensures clean, sustainable operation.
