Pneumatic cylinders and chemicals

such as in industrial manufacturing. Chemicals, including corrosive acids, solvents, and alkalis, can cause corrosion to machinery. In such environments, having pneumatic cylinders that can withstand chemical corrosion is essential to ensure the reliability, longevity, and safe operation of the system.

Why Choose Fokca Cylinders for Chemical Applications?

Manufacturers in the food and beverage industry understand that their equipment must withstand chemical corrosion, especially when dealing with acidic substances (pH < 7) and alkaline substances (pH > 7). For instance, during dairy processing, lactic acid is commonly encountered. Lactic acid is mildly corrosive, and prolonged contact with equipment can corrode metal parts, affecting the lifespan of the machinery.

To enhance the lifespan of cylinders, ensure system reliability, and maintain safe operation, Fokca offers a range of solutions for cylinders that come into contact with chemicals:

Corrosion-Resistant Materials

One of the key factors when designing cylinders for chemical environments is selecting the right materials. Fokca cylinders are made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and special alloys, effectively resisting corrosive chemicals. Stainless steel, for example, has exceptional resistance to rust, corrosion, and wear caused by chemicals like acids, salts, and solvents. This ensures that our cylinders continue to perform well even under harsh conditions.

Chemical-Resistant Seals and Coatings

Our cylinders are equipped with high-quality seals made from materials like fluororubber and PTFE (Teflon), which offer excellent chemical resistance and withstand extreme temperatures. Additionally, we use special coatings on both the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinders to further prevent chemical corrosion. This ensures that even when the cylinder is exposed to corrosive chemicals, the seals remain intact, preventing leaks.

Custom Solutions for Specific Chemical Exposures

We understand that different chemicals require varying levels of protection. Therefore, Fokca provides customized pneumatic cylinders designed to meet the specific needs of your applications. Whether you are dealing with volatile chemicals, high-pressure systems, or harsh environments, we can offer tailored solutions, including unique coatings, sealing materials, and specific designs to achieve optimal performance and protection.

Precision and Safety

In chemical processing, precision is critical. Fokca cylinders provide precise control and smooth operation, even in high-concentration chemical environments. Our cylinders are designed to minimize friction and wear, reducing the risk of failure. Furthermore, the safety of chemical processes is our top priority. With our reliable cylinders, you can rest assured that your system will operate smoothly and safely, even when handling hazardous chemicals.

Temperature Resistance

Many chemicals are used in high-temperature environments, which can damage standard cylinders. Fokca’s cylinders are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, ensuring continuous and effective operation even when exposed to high or low-temperature chemicals. This makes our cylinders the ideal choice for chemical industry applications that require heat resistance and long-term durability.

Applications in Other Chemical Industries

• Pharmaceutical Industry
  In pharmaceutical manufacturing, strict hygiene requirements and the handling of corrosive chemicals are crucial. Fokca corrosion-resistant cylinders are the ideal choice for controlling mixing, dispensing, and packaging machinery in the pharmaceutical industry. Their reliable performance and contamination resistance ensure they can safely and efficiently handle the chemicals used in drug production.

  
  

• Chemical Processing Plants
  Fokca cylinders are well-suited for automation and control in chemical processing plants, where equipment is exposed to acids, solvents, and other active substances. Our cylinders help regulate processes like mixing, separation, and filling, ensuring safe management of chemical reactions.

  
  

• Food and Beverage Industry
  The food industry frequently uses chemicals to clean and disinfect equipment. Fokca cylinders are designed to withstand chemical exposure in washing environments, ensuring that the equipment remains functional, hygienic, and durable over time.

  
  

• Water and Wastewater Treatment
  Water treatment plants rely on chemicals to purify and treat water. Fokca cylinders are used to control valves, gates, and pumps in these systems, effectively managing the flow of water and chemicals. With their corrosion-resistant properties, our cylinders are the ideal choice for chemical-intensive environments like this.

  
  

Fokca provides the necessary solutions to handle the challenges of chemical exposure, offering durable, reliable, and customized pneumatic cylinders designed for industries requiring high levels of chemical resistance and performance.
