Stainless steel cylinders for wash down applications

bimba stainless steel cylinder medical food processing photo OLBimba’s Original Line All Stainless Steel Cylinders, which had been available in 4 bore sizes (3/4”, 1-1/16”, 1-1/2” and 2”), have now been expanded with 8 additional bore sizes (5/16”, 7/16”, 9/16”, 7/8”, 1-1/4”, 1-3/4”, 2-1/2” and 3”). Designed for wash down applications, the OL All Stainless Steel Cylinder is suitable not only in the food industry but also the medical industry.

The stainless steel construction is excellent for medical hand tools, such as clamping, cutting or impacting. Fluoroelastomer seals rated for temperatures up to 400° F are available, but should be ordered for chemical compatibility only, and is the “V” option. We recommend contacting your local distributor for a custom design quote if you require a temperature rating of more than 200°F.

The OL All Stainless Steel Cylinder is also used by dental furniture manufacturers. Using proximity sensors, the cylinders detect hand motion and open and close a door, which leaves the dentist office more hygienic.
