New-Generation VDG Sprockets (Patent Pending)
VDG is excited to introduce the New-Generation VDG Sprockets (Patent Pending). This new generation sprocket design features VDG’s 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.
Engineered for maximum hygiene, VDG Sprockets set a new standard for sanitary sprocket performance, delivering unmatched cleanliness, reliability, and durability during washdown. The innovative flow edge geometry allows water and debris to wash away effortlessly, preventing contamination buildup due to its unique angled design with smooth surfaces and open architecture.
This innovative flow edge profile allows for complete debris and byproduct removal during high-pressure washdowns, significantly reducing both 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
- Washdown-ready: Withstands up to 3,000 psi and caustic washdown environments
- Optimized tooth profile: Ensures precise belt engagement, reduces wear, and improves torque transfer
- Complies with and exceeds 3-A and USDA standards
