McGill® CRES™CAMROL® Fish Processer Solution
A fish processing plant uses equipment specifically designed to remove viscera and roe. The standard cam followers installed within the machines are exposed to highly corrosive conditions. Consequently, standard cam followers corrode and seize, resulting in damage to the cam in which they ride. The cost incurred to replace the entire cam is prohibitively more expensive than simply replacing the cam follower, and machine downtime creates significant production inefficiencies for the plant.
McGILL® Cam Roller Solution
To help reduce these significant replacement costs, Regal Rexnord recommended the dimensionally interchangeable McGill CRESTM CAMROL® line, which is designed with 440C stainless steel to help resist corrosive environments. The Lubri-Disc®+ seal also provides significant protection against wash downs, more than 5 times.
