ENGINEERING DURABILITY
Withstanding harsh washdown chemicals

Situation: A food processing equipment manufacturer
was receiving customer complaints about fittings that
degraded when exposed to harsh washdown chemicals
in food processing plants.
®
Solution: Parker’s Prestolok Composite fittings.
Manufactured from an engineered grade of glass-filled
nylon, the fittings withstood exposure to the aggressive
washdown chemicals. Additionally, the compact fittings,
available in a wide variety of configurations, maintained
full airflow throughout the system, which allowed the
equipment designers to optimize the routings.

Benefits: Reduced warranty service • Reduced compo-
nent quantity • Reduced energy consumption due to
full-flow design
