Equipment must withstand frequent, intensive washdowns without compromising performance. Stainless steel air cylinders and compact pneumatic design help meet the challenges of[harsh environment automation](https://blog.wcbranham.com/artec-stainless-steel-cylinders-fighting-harsh-environment-challenges) while delivering significant productivity benefits. Branham offers a range of pneumatic cylinder solutions for food and beverage OEMs and end-users, including multiple lines of ARTEC metric compact and short-stroke cylinders. Here's how the right components can maximize uptime in F&B operations.  ## Standing Up to Tough Working Environments Materials and streamlined design both mitigate risk in sterile environments.[ARTEC stainless steel air cylinders](https://vimeo.com/1037910079/96503bfca3?share=copy) meet vital criteria for sanitary, washdown environments. They offer exceptional strength, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature extremes. Their polished surfaces minimize crevices where microbes or particles might accumulate. Equipped with food-grade lubricants and[seals](https://blog.wcbranham.com/right-seals-rodded-cylinders) specially designed for hygienic cylinders (with scrapers if needed), these components support maximum sanitation and provide long-lasting, reliable performance. ## Incorporating Automation Efficiently Automated processing and packaging can substantially enhance production quality and efficiency. Food and beverage production processes involve complex, varied movements. ARTEC manufactures several varieties of pneumatic cylinders and numerous accessories to customize them for virtually any task. Options include clevises, rod attachments, grippers, and more. You’ll find everything listed in our[ARTEC catalog](https://cdn.wcbranham.com/files/2022_ARTEC_ProductOverview_WCB.pdf). ## Addressing Persistent Labor Shortages Like many industries, food and beverage processors continue to navigate ongoing workforce challenges. Increased automation represents an effective, sustainable solution. Pneumatic cylinders are ideal for expanding automation, offering consistent, reliable operation and extended service life without the variability of human resources. ## Smoothing the Supply Chain Recent years have demonstrated how supply chain inconsistencies can impact operations. Delays and stockouts not only frustrate but impede production, affecting revenue and customer relationships. As the official North American distributor for ARTEC pneumatic cylinders, Branham stocks commonly-used inventory including accessories here in the US. Orders are usually shipped from our Wisconsin location within a week.  ## Meeting Demands for More Compact Components While sanitation and reliability are essential, production speed is equally crucial, especially for perishable handling. Modern F&B equipment often faces spatial constraints. When space is limited but width is not,[ARTEC compact and short-stroke cylinders](https://www.wcbranham.com/actuators-pneumatic/artec-compact-short-stroke-cylinders) may be the right fit for your design. These pneumatic cylinder solutions offer efficiency advantages that can boost productivity and profitability: - Powerful performance - Compatibility with confined spaces where standard cylinders won't fit - Precise execution of movements requiring only short strokes - Significant reduction in overall equipment dimensions [Watch this video](https://vimeo.com/1038654274/9ed9bdb864?share=copy) to learn more about each of ARTEC’s compact and non-standard pneumatic cylinders listed below.
