The maintenance of industrial machinery is a critical issue in any production environment. Its importance lies in anticipating production problems, thus avoiding loss of goods, postponed delivery times, and cost overruns. These are enough reasons to look for machinery and tools with long service lives and greater profitability, in addition to other benefits such as the ability to avoid interruptions, the optimization of processes in the medium and long term, and the guarantee of safety standards that take into account both workers and the entire production process.
Stemm's clamshell and orange peel grabs have maintenance-free joints and no need for greasing, facilitating their preservation in perfect condition. In this article, you will learn more about Stemm grabs manufacturing details and the benefits they can bring to your production process.
Features and endurance
Innovation and adaptability are two qualities that have guided Stemm's daily work for four decades. That is why, in 2015, the R&D department reached a significant achievement that remains to this day: developing maintenance- and grease-free joints for orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs. An innovation that simplifies the maintenance of the machines and ensures their optimal operating condition.
These grabs are made of polyethenes with a solid lubricant incorporated with a unique internal formulation, allowing lifetime lubrication. In addition, to preserve their durability, the joints are protected by double-lip polyurethane scrapers with outstanding wear resistance, minimal deformation and high extrusion resistance.
These joints are distinguished by their high mechanical strength, rigidity, and hardness. In addition, they have a uniformly low coefficient of friction, good adaptation to wear impact, and water absorption conditions. Thanks to these characteristics, they can cover diverse applications in multiple industrial sectors, including amphibious environments such as freshwater, marine environments, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
Stemm grabs have been designed with challenging working environments in mind, resisting severe dirt attacks, especially in dusty environments. Their unique inner lip design maximizes contact pressure and optimises scraping.
Stemm, innovation and quality in the manufacture of orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs
Stemm has years of experience in the design and manufacture of grabs. All of them are subjected to thorough quality control and specialized support to offer the right solution for each case. In addition to maintenance-free joints, Stemm machines are equipped with QR codes that provide direct access to audio-visual help guides with videos detailing everyday assembly operations for all components, including shafts, pumps, filters and valves. All to offer guidance on how to carry out checks and inspections accurately and provide solutions for possible incidents that may arise.
