Certified food safety

At our customer, the Delico AG based in Switzerland, is all about food. With around 400 products in its range, the company offers the Swiss market selected foods of all kinds - such as the spice oil that plays the main role in this project...

The spice oil is filled from the large container into small bottles by a partner company Delicos, a facility for people with disabilities. The spice oil is regularly stirred in the containers using PTM container stirrers. Two focal points have emerged for the project:

1. food safety as the top priority

The container agitator is made of high-quality stainless steel for use in the food sector. The seals are FDA-compliant. It was important for Delico to be able to provide written proof of food safety. Therefore, in addition to the usual enclosures, the final documentation also included a material certificate 3.1 in accordance with the European standard DIN EN 10204, in which the type and perfect quality of the material, in our case high-quality V4A stainless steel 1.4404, is documented by the manufacturer. For the FDA-compliant seals, the certificate for food conformity was enclosed. Finally, we certified the entire system for safe use with food.

2. easy handling

As people with disabilities work with the agitator on a daily basis, it is particularly important that the agitator is easy to use. People with disabilities must be able to work independently and safely at all times. Our agitators do not necessarily require a complex control system. They can also be operated directly via a needle valve on the motor. Thanks to our stainless steel crossbar, they are easy to detach from the container and also easy to reattach to a new container.

We are your specialist for the use of agitators in the food sector. Our stainless steel range includes various agitators, agitating elements and food-safe equipment.
