New Generation VDG-Patented Sprockets
VDG is excited to introduce the New Generation VDG-Patented Sprockets. This new generation sprocket design features our latest evolution in stainless-steel sprocket technology. Designed specifically for food, beverage, and sanitary processing environments, VDG Sprockets reduce debris buildup and deliver cleaner operation.
VDG Sprockets, engineered for maximum hygiene and efficiency, redefines what processors can expect from stainless-steel sprockets, delivering unmatched cleanliness, performance, and reliability during washdown. The innovative flow edge geometry of the VDG Sprocket has unique angled surfaces and open architecture allows water and debris to wash away effortlessly, preventing contamination buildup.
This innovative flow edge profile allows for complete debris and byproduct removal, during high-pressure washdowns, dramatically reducing cleaning time and water consumption. It is completely self-draining and enables rapid drying.
- Hygienic Design: Smooth, crevice-free surfaces prevent bacterial harborage and reduce cleaning time and water consumption
- Complies with and exceeds 3-A and USDA standards
- Optimized tooth profile: Ensures precise belt engagement, reduces wear, and improves torque transfer
- Washdown-ready: Withstands up to 3,000 psi and caustic washdown environments
