VERMAY considers food processing machinery and equipment as a specific branch of general machinery and equipment. In our society, the processing of food products has to meet the highest standards, and rightly so, and VERMAY is of course happy to do so. How are the VERMAY machine bases used in this field and what are the special features of them? The processing systems are used in the food industry for the production of liquid to pasty products. The machine bases must ensure a very stable and secure stand as well as a very finely adjustable height compensation in order to guarantee an ideal product flow depending on the surface, e.g. under system components such as the vacuum unit, auxiliary container or control cabinet. Of course, strict cleanliness and hygiene requirements apply in food production. For this reason, our machine feet are almost exclusively made of stainless steel.

However, hygiene requirements have become even stricter, which means that machines and process systems used in the food industry must meet the standards of "hygienic design", i.e. the hygienic design of machines, systems and components used in the food sector, certified by independent institutes. One of the most important criteria is to avoid the formation of bacteria by using seamless components and to prevent the contamination of food by decomposing machine parts, such as seals.

VERMAY has once again risen to this great challenge and is proud to present its latest development, the certified ZH-TG hygienic foot (see the text on this page)!
