Surface testing ensures a smooth finish for a tasty beer

Surface testing ensures a smooth finish for a tasty beer

Ensuring that outstanding levels of hygiene are maintained is vital to the effective production of quality beer, as even the smallest numbers of contaminants can multiply during the brewing process. The avoidance of contaminants helps to guarantee the delivery of a high quality product and prevents the possibility of revenue losses through the production of a spoil batch.

Maintenance-free stainless steel chains for food processing tasks

Maintenance-free stainless steel chains for food processing tasks

Iwis has introduced b.dry maintenance-free stainless-steel chains. The corrosion-free chains run completely dry, are extremely wear-resistant and withstand high dynamic loads. They are also maintenance-free and don not need any form of lubrication. These characteristics make them predestined for use in aggressive environments, for applications in which water or steam are applied or where strict cleaning regulations apply, such as the food and pharmaceuticals industries, in cleanrooms and in painting lines.
