Sanitation, moisture & regular cleaning
Use the food and washdown family when the balancer will operate in a processing or production area exposed to humidity, sanitation routines or regular washdown. Choose retractor versus zero-gravity based on how the tool should behave during the job.
Retractor
Supports the tool during use and returns it toward a rest position afterward.
Choose it when: clearing the work area after use is important.
Zero-gravity
Counterbalances the tool through the working range so the operator carries less of the load.
Choose it when: controlled positioning matters more than automatic return.
Food & Washdown Tool Retractors
Automatic-return support for frequently used tools in processing, sanitation and humid production areas.
Best for
Processing lines, sanitation work and humid production spaces.
Main benefit
Keeps the tool supported and helps move it out of the work area after use.
Select by
Load range, stroke and stop-device configuration where applicable.
Food Zero-Gravity Balancers
For lighter to medium suspended tools that need controlled movement in washdown or humid production areas.
Best for
Repetitive tools and suspended equipment used throughout a defined work zone.
Main benefit
Reduced operator effort while keeping the load available throughout the task.
Working range
4–25 kg.
Heavy Food Zero-Gravity Balancers
Higher-capacity counterbalanced support for heavier tools and suspended loads in washdown-oriented production environments.
Best for
Heavier processing tools, fixtures and production equipment.
Main benefit
The same controlled movement as the lighter family at substantially higher load capacity.
Working range
10–65 kg.
