Check out the video below for a sampling of the harsh applications where Kinetrol vane actuators thrive.

Kinetrol Blueline Series Food, Beverage, and Pharma Pneumatic Actuators

Here's a new, short video about the Kinetrol Blueline Series actuator. The Blueline Series of pneumatic vane actuators for use in foodservice and beverage processing. The actuators are intended to be installed in areas where harsh chemical wash-down is required.

Kinetrol Blueline Features:

• Very good resistance to "caustic wash-down" procedures as typically performed in the food industry.
• Very good resistance to corrosion In salt laden environments.
• Meets the FDA’s resinous and polymeric standard. 

Kinetrol FDA Approved Coating

Kinetrol actuator with
FDA approved coating

Products coated with Kinetrol RAL5002 Blueline food grade paint option, have a Kinetrol Variation Product Code: BU. This is suitable for use in the European Union & United States of America for Standard Actuators & Spring Units. For other assemblies including ULS and XLS switchboxes, AP, P3 and EL positioners a special order code will be issued.

For Example: a model 09 ISO Double acting Actuator having this coating would be: 094-100BU or model 09 ANSI Spring Return Actuator clockwise would be 097-120BU.

The product casings are pretreated prior to coating for additional protection. This coating system exhibits the following characteristics:

1. Good resistance to 'caustic washdown' procedures as typically performed in the food industry. 
2. It shows exceptional resistance to chipping/flaking. It does not 'chip' in a brittle manner but remains attached to the substrate. 
3. If in extreme circumstances, the coating becomes dislodged from the product surface, its color is particularly visible to the human eye or sorters/sensors/detectors. 
4. Good resistance to corrosion in salt laden environments. 5. The coating has good non-stick properties. 

Coating Statement for United States of America:

Kinetrol Blueline coating
now FDA approved.

This coating is permitted for use in contact with food in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDA) and all applicable regulations, including 21 CR 175.300 (Code of Federal Regulations).

Coating Statement for European Union:

When coated in this finish, Kinetrol product casings meet the requirements of German BfR L1 for Temperature Resistant Polymer Coating Systems for Frying, Cooking and Baking Utensils. BfR recognizes that when in contact with food it will not transfer its constituents in quantities that could endanger human health.
