The canned fruit & vegetable processing industry processes fresh fruit and vegetables into food products packaged in jars, cans and other packaging. It utilizes other ingredients like seasoning, salt, sugar, preservatives, colorings etc. and blends them with the fresh fruit and vegetables to make final consumer food products. From pickles and relishes, to tomato based sauces, jams, and jellies, these products can be tough on the machinery that produces and packages them. That’s why manufacturers look to Altra Industrial Motion to provide reliable power transmission products for their machines. With products designed to help prevent microbial contamination and bacterial growth in highly caustic washdown environments, the brands of Altra continue to improve product performance by developing innovative features and designs to meet changing market demands for canned fruit and vegetable processors.
| • | Elimination of alignment hole prevents debris and bacteria buildup |
| • | 18% shorter than standard coupling mounted reducers |

This clutch has the widest torque range in its class: 100 to 1,000 in. lbs., and will limit transmitted torque no matter if the overload jam is once a year or many times per day. The cost-effective design with fewer components combined with a corrosion resistant hard-anodized housing provide years of dependable service. Other features include a fully automatic reset and bi-directional single position clutch.


Sure-Flex is a TB Wood's original! Sure-Flex Couplings utilize a rubber (EPDM or Neoprene) or Hytrel™ thermoplastic flex element (sleeve) to transmit torque and accommodate shaft misalignments. Sure-Flex couplings have exceptional torsional flexibility, and the 4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment, and end float. Sure-flex couplings are an excellent choice when low cost, high flexibility, vibration damping, and easy installation are primary concerns.
| • | Easy assembly |
| • | Spacer, bushed hub, and clamping hub designs in stock |
| • | Flexible design accommodates misalignment and protects equipment |

Dura-flex couplings "split-in-half" element design allows for easy element installation/ replacement without moving connected equipment or disturbing the shaft connection. Spacer design can accommodate a large range of shaft spacing with few parts. Patented design minimizes bond stress for long coupling life. Highly flexible and able to accommodate shaft misalignment while minimizing vibration and preventing damage to connected equipment.
