Fruit and vegetable processing

Overview

Packaging fruit and vegetables - like all of food technology - is subject to the most stringent hygiene requirements, which are reflected in the choice of individual machine components. In selecting liner bearings or lead screw drives for the numerous format adjustments in the packaging units, it is important to ensure that components require no lubricants and are resistant to corrosion and chemicals used in regular cleaning. Other requirements include absolutely no maintenance, a long service life and low noise levels during operation.
