Speed Reducers feature washdown coating.

Suited for speed reducers, Stainless Bost-Kleen(TM) utilizes Bisphenol-F type epoxy, which offers chemical, pressure, and thermal resistance to prevent wear and cracking caused by caustic chemicals and high-pressure washdowns as well as scratches that may occur from contact during installation and operation. Coating is USDA and FDA accepted, BISCC certified, and available on all speed reducers.
