Which Linear Slide Wins?

So which linear slide is designed for optimal washdown operation? Product B: The Low Profile Uni-Guide (UGA). The UGA is optimized for rinse down operations due to the following design advantages:

• Simple two piece assembly – less components and fasteners restrict potential bacteria hotspots
• Angled rail design – specially machined parallel sloping rail edges allow for complete rinsing without leaving chemical residue
• Bonded Teflon liner – plain bearings bonded directly to carriage eliminates crevices that are present with polymer insert bearings
