  • "This information will support milk processors in determining how to optimally process donor milk to preserve specific milk proteins."
  • Human donor milk providers use several methods to process human milk, including:
    Vat and Holder pasteurization: Heating milk to a set temperature to inactivate contaminants including bacteria and viruses.

CLOSTER, N.J., July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The wrong type of cam follower or roller can lead to contamination issues, frequent maintenance and reduced service life—especially in washdown applications. This is an especially important concern now that washdown chemicals have become more caustic under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). In these environments, even traditional all-metal stainless steel cam followers are subject to corrosion and accelerated metal-to-metal wear, leading to premature failure.

Key Points: 
  • The Polymer-Ceramic Hybrid design eliminates the Root cause of corrosion and contamination that typically plague cam followers in harsh environments, sanitary processes, or Wash-down Applications.
  • In these environments, even traditional all-metal stainless steel cam followers are subject to corrosion and accelerated metal-to-metal wear, leading to premature failure.
  • Bear in mind, not all plastics will be equally suited for use in cam followers and guide rollers in washdown environments.
  • Needle bearings in metal cam followers require frequent lubrication because washdown liquids can wash off the grease from both the cam follower, as well as from the rail or cam that the cam followers are running on.
