The development of a complete hygienic range of stainless steel grids, baskets and trolleys ensures effective cleaning and minimizes the risk of listeria outbreaks and other bacteriological contamination in food businesses.
Hygienic design solves many challenges
Food companies work hard every day to avoid outbreaks of listeria, salmonella and other bacteria. This can cause severe cases of illness among consumers. Bacteria and impurities can easily hide in corners and joints of production equipment. This has a crucial impact on food safety. Therefore, it is critical that producers ensure effective cleaning. NTF-Aalborg has specially developed a complete product range of hygienic process equipment for food companies, where great emphasis has been placed on smooth surfaces, hygienic welds and functional designs. All products meet the food industry's high standards of hygiene and cleanability.
Ensuring better production through effective cleaning
Food producers have the opportunity to achieve better and smoother production by using hygienic equipment, as it eliminates unnecessary time and resources spent on extra cleaning and inspection and costly downtime. The process equipment in the NTF program has a hygienic design that combines design and function with a focus on efficient cleaning and easy operation in everyday life. The product range includes equipment such as wire grids and wire baskets, shelf trolleys, meat hooks and skewers for heat treatment, cooking, pasteurization, freezing, thawing and smoking.
Clean welds and round steel important for hygiene
For stainless steel materials to be used by food manufacturers, a particularly hygienic weld is essential. This must be both clean and even and have a smooth surface. This prevents bacteria and other impurities from sticking to the joint. In addition, round steel is a good material for hygienic products. NTF-Aalborg is an expert in these areas. To further improve quality, NTF-Aalborg uses a mixed gas, which is a special gas that protects the material from other gases by keeping other things out. This results in much cleaner and neater welds. Due to this very unique finish and high quality, the company also landed a large order for steel trolleys and grates for an American company in the food industry that sells fish smoking equipment.
