Medical equipment functioning features
Medical equipment runs under specific operational conditions related to need of constantly keeping the parts sterile and disinfected, to strict standards of providing safety, to high loads.
Regarding this, high demands are made of the products for maintaining the components of this equipment such as:
- Resistance towards disinfectants
- Aesthetic appearance on the surface
- Safety for users
- No chalking effect, no staining substances in their composition
- Providing long lasting equipment operation without renewing the protective coating
The products meeting all the requirements of the medical equipment producers are the modern solid-film coatings from the Modengy company.
Efficient solution is MODENGY anti-friction solid-film coatings
MODENGY are the coatings implementing the solid lubrication technology. They consist of the solid lubricating materials particles (molybdenum disulfide, graphite, polytetrafluorethylene, and others), binders, and solvents.
They form a thin (20 to 25 µm) dry layer on the preliminary prepared surfaces that has high lubricating properties.
The specialists of the enterprises producing the medical equipment use these products as an effective replacement to the conventional lubricating materials such as greases and liquid lubricants.
MODENGY coatings performances are:
- Low friction coefficient
- High load carrying capacity
- Wide service temperature range
- Operability under conditions of dustiness and humidity
- Anti-corrosive properties
- Long service lifetime
- No harmful evaporations
- Smooth texture
- Aesthetic appearance
Application examples
Slide guideways of the pharmaceutical equipment
For purposes of moving the finished products, conveyors are established at many pharmaceutical productions. In process of their operation, slide guideways get overheated because of high friction between the mated parts, and prematurely worn.
To solve this issue, MODENGY 1014 anti-friction solid-film coating is applied onto the axles. It significantly reduces friction coefficient of the parts, and prevent them from overheating.
A dry layer of the product attracts no dust and other fine particles into the unit, due to what no abrasive wear of the components is stimulated.
The coating require no refreshing, and thus, need in halting the equipment to treat the moving units is eliminated, and continuous operation of the conveyor is provided.
Open friction units of pharmaceutical equipment
MODENGY 1001 is successfully used at the enterprises producing liquid medicines.
It is applied into open friction units of the equipment such as gears, threaded bars, and others which operate at up to +300 °С.
The coating has high load carrying capacity, and resistance to heating (up to +450°С), due to what service lifetime of the equipment expends even under extreme operation modes.
MODENGY 1001 cures fast at room temperature that’s why it is convenient to be used under production conditions.
Holders of the devices for beauty procedures
Equipment for beauty doctors include a lot of various apparatuses that are constantly subjected to disinfection.
To provide sterility, these devices are put into antiseptic liquids, and high temperature chambers. As a result functional characteristics of the tools and their appearance get worse.
To protect the instruments holders, MODENGY 1014 anti-friction solid-film coating is used. It has high wear- and chemical resistance, gets no damages at heating up to +255 °С.
Due to this, the product effectively protects the parts against destructive impacts of the aggressive factors, and due to high anti-friction properties, it makes process of mounting-dismantling the instruments easier, and prevents scuffing forming on the threaded parts.
Pressure chambers
The producer of the pressure chambers face the issues of corrosion forming, and increased friction in the shutter mechanisms of their items.
MODENGY 1002 anti-friction solid-film coating was selected as a solution since it has high anti-corrosive properties (more than 160 hours according to results of accelerated tests in salt mist, ISO 9227 Standard), effectively reduces friction, and prevents scuffing forming.
As soon as the pressure chambers with MODENGY 1002 coating applied onto the shutter elements have successfully passed the tests, they were launched into mass production.
Equipment for medical waste collection and disposal
Medical enterprises waste is hazardous for human health and environment, that’s why destruction of them is held with specialty equipment intended for these purposes.
The units of the machines performing disposal of hazardous waste need protection against exposure to chemically aggressive substances, and premature wear. MODENGY 1014 and MODENGY 1002 chemically resistant products are used for this purpose. They are applied onto the gears, threaded connections, and slide bearings of the equipment on waste collection and disposal.
Use of the coatings provides failure-free operating of the units and mechanisms with no need in repeated treatment of them.
Medical chairs
Producers of the medical furniture constantly search for the ways how to extend service lifetime of their items and how to use them more conveniently.
To provide smooth moving of the armrests, MODENGY 1014 anti-friction coating reducing friction of the mated elements is applied onto their linear guideways.
To prevent corrosion of the metal parts, MODENGY PTFE - A20 coating is used since it is convenient to apply it out of the aerosol can, and it cures at room temperature.
