Food Equipment Gas Springs

Working with Industrial Gas Springs™ means partnering with a trusted name for quality Gas Spring products with years of experience developing solutions for the food processing industry. With that comes the ability to provide a plethora of products to meet the demands of customer’s applications without having to search for a new vendor and research product quality. Durability, precision, and longevity are of utmost importance and food equipment manufacturers know they are receiving a quality product when they work with IGS.  

At IGS, it is understood that when it comes to manufacturing commercial food equipment, Gas Spring components are often integrated at the end of development. That can create design challenges, but working with a quality vendor such as IGS, customers can select from a variety of high performing products in varying size, shape, corrosion resistance, and temperature ranges to find a strut or spring that fits their application without having to redesign or diminish the performance of their product. In addition, if the standard offering is not enough, the IGS engineering team can work with clients to design a part specifically for their product. 

Found in many applications in food processing equipment, the IGS portfolio of Gas Springs, safety Locking Springs, Dampers, and other components are used across the production floor. The Extended Life Customline range of Gas Springs is available in 316L stainless steel and can provide an extended life solution that is corrosion resistant and features FDA compliant damping oil. These Gas Springs are a safe solution for applications that may encounter food or require frequent sanitation. The Volumeline range of Gas Springs, commonly found in maintenance access panels, are a cost-effective yet robust solution that provides lift assistance where springs do not come into direct contact with food.  

IGS’s portfolio of products goes beyond Gas Springs; paired with Hinges, Handles, End-Fittings, and other mounting hardware, IGS can supply a complete and cohesive look for food equipment.  

Finding a Gas Spring suitable for food equipment is made easier with IGS’s Counterbalance Configurator Tool. By filling in application variables, load requirements, and adjust the mounting location, the configurator will do the calculations for the user and provide a list of Gas Springs that will work in the equipment.
