Causes of corrosion in drives<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Corrosive wear, or rust as it is often known, is a complex and common problem for drive systems. This process occurs when metal reacts with moisture or corrosive chemicals, causing the surface to deteriorate and break down. This reaction is intensified by environmental factors, such as exposure to salt water, acids and substances containing chlorides, all of which speed up the corrosive effects.<\/p>\n

Even stainless steel, known for its resistance to corrosion, is not immune to degradation if it is continuously exposed to harsh conditions. The chromium oxide top layer that gives protection can become damaged during use, transportation, assembly or maintenance. Once damaged, the underlying metal is susceptible to rust. Rough surfaces with small cracks or fissures are also breeding grounds for harmful substances that promote corrosion. In addition, a non-aseptic design, i.e. one without smooth, rounded surfaces, facilitates the adhesion of these substances, further accelerating corrosion.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text font_weight=”200″ font_size=”d:26|tl:26|tp:24|pl:22|pp:22″ el_class=”bi_textblock”]\n

Risks and effects of corrosion<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]In industrial environments with high levels of moisture and salt, corrosion can seriously undermine the efficiency and functionality of drive systems. This destructive process leads to increased friction, poorer performance or even complete failures of equipment. Such issues compromise the integrity and reliability of machines, which may result in higher maintenance costs and unscheduled downtime. Emergency repairs and replacement not only impact production capacity, they also pose significant safety risks.<\/p>\n

Corrosion causes surface damage and diminishes the quality of metal components, compromising their structural integrity. Continuous exposure to corrosive elements produces significant wear, causing parts with inadequate protection to underperform and leading to unreliable performance, as well as the potential for hazardous situations in the case of heavy machinery and critical systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

Anti-corrosion coating<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”bullets_check”]Food-grade and corrosion-resistant coatings are used to protect drive components, such as gear units and electric motors, from corrosion and wear.
\nBEGE uses special C5M coatings that are exceptionally resistant to surface rust, oxidation and corrosive factors in the environment, such as mineral oil, lubricants, emulsions and solvents. We also offer STEEL-IT coatings that are specifically designed for food processing equipment. These provide durable protection against corrosion while also meeting stringent hygiene standards.
\nBoth coatings are ideal for wet and corrosive applications, where they can help extend the drives\u2019 lifespan and reliability.<\/p>\n

Benefits of coatings:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Protect against rust and oxidation and safeguard the integrity of the metal.<\/li>\n
  • Withstand harsh industrial environments, including those characterized by extreme temperature and chemical exposure.<\/li>\n
  • Reduce maintenance frequency and lower operating costs.<\/li>\n
  • Save on the cost of materials by making cheaper base metals corrosion resistant.<\/li>\n
  • Customized to provide optimum protection against specific chemicals or extreme conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Offer aesthetic variety with coatings in different colors and finishes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text]
