Tolomatic provides actuators and solutions for the food and beverage industry that meet strict hygienic standards. Their actuators feature IP69K protection, USDA approval, and hygienic designs with smooth surfaces that are easy to clean. Electric actuators provide more precise control and lower energy costs compared to pneumatic actuators. Tolomatic offers a range of actuator models for food and beverage applications.

Food & Beverage Industry

2. Agenda
• What is FSMA – Food Safety Modernization Act?
• IP69k protection rating explained
• USDA approval standard explained
• Installation requirements to conform to USDA
• IP69k actuator construction
• Electric vs. Pneumatic value proposition
• Tolomatic’s Hygienic products

3. FSMA – Food Safety Modernization Act
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years, was signed into law by President Obama on January 4, 2011. It aims to ensure
the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it.
Pronounced: “Fiz-Mah”
It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from
responding to contamination to preventing it.

4. Important dates on FSMA implementation
• Aug. 30, 2015: Preventive controls for human/animal food
• October 31, 2015: Produce safety, foreign supplier
verification program and third-party accreditation
• March 31, 2016: Sanitary transport
• May 31, 2016: Intentional adulteration
• Food Engineering article on legislation & dates

7. USDA: Food & Beverage Standards for Design
• USDA
– Dairy - Guideline
– Meat & Poultry - Guideline
• ANSI / NSF / 3-A
– 14159-1-2010 : Meat, Poultry, Dairy
• European Standards
– EHEDG
– FSA
– EFSA

8. USDA Conformance Addresses Major Concerns
1) Corrosion Resistance
2) Wash-down Protection
3) Bacterial Growth Prevention

9. Material Selection Critical to Robustness
• Series 300 Stainless Steel
– Withstands corrosive foods / juices
– Holds up under frequent cleaning and sanitizing
– 32 Ra Finish or better
• Polyurethane, Viton, UMHW Gaskets & O-Ring Seals
– Excellent resistance to Chemicals and Heat
– Good compression set resistance
Special Coatings/ Surface Treatments
- White Epoxy paint
- Chromium (Armoloy)
- Electroless Nickel plating

10. Lubrication Selection
• Food Grade Lubricants
– USDA’s stance on Actuators:
• “Don’t care because grease should never exit actuator w/ IP69k design”
– Food Grade Categories (USDA)
• H1 - lubricants are food-grade lubricants used in food-processing
environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact.
• H2 - lubricants are food-grade lubricants used on equipment and machine
parts in locations where there is no possibility of contact.
• H3 - lubricants are food-grade lubricants, typically edible oils, used to
prevent rust on hooks, trolleys and similar equipment.

11. Actuators – Hygienic Design
Rod
• Push / Pull loads
• Great for pivot points!
Rodless
• Carry loads back & forth
• Great for long lengths!

• Non-product contact in horizontal
applications: HYG1 option not
required
• Non-product contact in vertical
applications: HYG1 option not required
• Product or splash contact in
horizontal applications: HYG1
option is required
• Product or splash contact in vertical
applications: HYG1 option is
insufficient, shielding must be provided

18. Value proposition of Electric vs. Pneumatic
• Precise position, speed, acceleration,
and force control
• Infinite positioning flexibility
• Quiet operation
• Superior Accuracy / Repeatability
• Elimination of multiple components
• Longer life
• No costly leaks
• Energy efficient / “green”
• Cost-effective operation
• No or little maintenance
Pneumatic Systems

19. Electric vs. Pneumatic Energy Efficiency
ASSUMPTIONS: Electric Efficiency 79%; Pneumatic Efficiency 22%; Cost kW/hr $0.08
= Power-Out (kW) ÷ Efficiency (%)POWER-IN (kW)
Calculating the Power Costs of an Application
= Velocity (m/sec) x Force (N) ÷ 1,000 (convert to kN)POWER-OUT (kW)
COST OF APPLICATION = (Power-In) x (Hours/year) x (Electricity Cost)

Costs calculated using the Industrial
electricity rate of $0.07 per kWh*,
assuming a consistent operation and an
efficient compressor.
