Precision motion guidance built for food processing

Linear motion for food processing by BMG offers hygienic, durable Rollon systems like MiniRoller Rails and ELM actuators.

Linear motion for food processing is essential for maintaining hygiene, durability, and efficiency in demanding environments. BMG, a trusted distributor, offers Rollon’s advanced linear motion systems, including the MiniRoller Rail and ELM actuator, designed specifically for food processing applications like meat, poultry, and fish production.

Engineered to meet global hygiene standards

Rollon’s linear motion systems are built to comply with global hygiene standards, ensuring safe and efficient food processing. These systems are designed for washdown environments, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent cleaning and exposure to harsh conditions.

MiniRoller rail: Compact precision for demanding lines

The MiniRoller Rail is a compact roller-bearing guide featuring:

  • Induction-hardened raceways (58–62 HRC) for durability.
  • Stainless-steel rollers and nickel-plated rails for corrosion resistance.
  • Misalignment tolerance for smooth operation.

This system is perfect for slicing, deboning, conveying, and robotic picking in food processing lines.

ELM Actuator: Sealed, pressurised, and washdown-ready

The ELM actuator is a sealed belt-drive system with:

  • Recirculating ball guides and a polyurethane seal.
  • Optional positive/negative pressurisation (0.7–0.8 bar) for enhanced protection.
  • Stainless-steel anti-corrosion options for brine and blood-rich zones.

Its low-profile design and washdown-ready features make it ideal for heavy-duty food processing environments.

Full engineering support

BMG provides comprehensive support for Rollon systems, including:

  • CAD assistance for precise product selection.
  • Integration services for seamless implementation.
  • Lifecycle optimisation to ensure long-term performance.

Additionally, BMG recommends using FDA-compatible lubricants to maintain compliance with food safety standards.

BMG’s Rollon linear motion systems, including the MiniRoller Rail and ELM actuator, are engineered for hygienic, durable, and efficient food processing. With full engineering support and compliance with global standards, these systems are the perfect choice for OEMs, system integrators, and engineers in the food industry.
