Elimination of chocolate stops in the conveyor drive unit! Effects of introducing PEEK coating.
The snack food line fundamentally solves the issues of damage to fluororesin tubes and frequent replacement work, dramatically improving line operating rates!
In the automated snack manufacturing line, the seasoning process on the conveyor-driven roller section faced challenges with the adhesion and accumulation of scattered seasonings. ■ Challenges in Conventional Operations - Damage to Fluororesin Tubes Fluororesin tubes were used for operation, but they could not withstand strong friction loads, leading to tears and cracks within just 2 weeks to 1 month. - Frequent Line Stops (Choco Stops) Operating with tears caused seasonings to get caught, resulting in unexpected line stops (choco stops), making frequent replacement work a significant burden. ■ Proposal for Solving the Challenges The PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT N" forms a robust film made of pure PEEK resin without additives, dramatically reducing wear and damage caused by harsh driving loads. It eliminates choco stops and achieves stable operation and increased productivity of the manufacturing line.
basic information
【Technical Name】 PEEK Coating "PEEKCOAT N" 【Main Features】 ■ Excellent Wear Resistance With top-class hardness and toughness, it significantly reduces wear and peeling in environments with strong friction and repeated loads. ■ Base Protection and Rust Prevention A robust PEEK coating completely covers the metal rolls, preventing rust caused by salt and moisture from seasonings. ■ Compliance with Food Sanitation Law Materials that meet the standards of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Notification No. 370 and others are used, ensuring safety even in lines where food and seasonings come into contact. 【Applicable Environments】 Seasoning processes for snack foods, high-load conveyor drive roll sections.

Applications/Examples of results
**Main Uses** - Automatic conveyor drive rolls and rollers for food and beverage factories - Harsh sliding and driving environments where seasonings and powders are prone to scattering and adhering **Implementation Results and Improvement Effects (Snack Food Manufacturing Line)** - Component lifespan improved from "2 weeks to 1 month" to "2 years." High wear resistance has extended durability by 30 to 50 times without the need for replacement or reprocessing. - Reduced frequency of downtime. Unexpected line stoppages due to tube damage have been eliminated, achieving continuous operation and stabilization of throughput as planned. - Reduced maintenance burden. Regular replacement work is no longer necessary, allowing operation with only daily wiping and cleaning. Maintenance labor has been significantly cut.

Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
