- The most stringent demands in aseptic processing typically require the use of stainless steel and PTFE due to almost universal compatibility. ATEX specific actuators are available as a standard offering.
- During the external cleaning process, thermo-plastic handles can be damaged over time.
- Plastic pneumatic actuators are large compared to what is possible with a stainless actuator.
- During SIP operations the heat can compromise the functionality of these systems.
- Position detecting sensors on actuators made of plastics have limited operating range in terms of temperature resistance.
