FAQ's

 

Equipment sanitation is a vital part of every food processor’s plan to keep their product healthy and safe. It is also the leading cause of failure for many power train components, including speed reducers. Because different industries have different sanitation challenges to prevent microbial contamination and bacterial growth, Boston Gear offers four different levels of washdown protection, each field proven in food processing operations’ harsh caustic environments.

Stainless Bost-Kleen™ (SBK)

Egg Processing

The secret to the world class washdown treatment lies with the specially designed epoxies and curing agents used. The Bisphenol-F type epoxy, offers a much higher level of corrosion and crack resistance due to the intensity of the chemical reactions and the resulting strength of the cross links with the curing agents.
