(Bielefeld) TORWEGGE GmbH and Co. KG targets the fish, meat, and poultry industry. For companies working with sensitive food products, the intralogistics specialist offers special wheels, rollers, conveyor technology components, and handling technology. The supplier from Bielefeld manufactures these from particularly durable and resilient materials. This makes them suitable not only for use under extreme temperature conditions but also meets the high hygiene standards in the food industry. Additionally, customers benefit from the company’s proven consulting expertise. Upon request, TORWEGGE also produces customized intralogistics solutions.

Highest Hygiene Standards

“Conveyor technology in the food industry must not only meet the highest hygiene standards but also be resistant to temperature fluctuations and cleaning agents. Our solutions therefore offer the highest quality and are made from materials that are particularly resilient and hygienic,” says Uwe Eschment, Managing Director of TORWEGGE GmbH and Co. KG. To achieve high resistance to oxidizing materials and their resilience to corrosion, the intralogistics specialist manufactures some rollers from stainless steel. These are particularly durable and low-maintenance. They are also unaffected by acids and chemicals. Available in different designs, they are suitable for use in a temperature range from minus 20 to plus 90 degrees Celsius, depending on the bandage. Furthermore, TORWEGGE has plastic rollers made from germ-free polyamide and polypropylene in its portfolio. These can be easily cleaned and disinfected thanks to their smooth surface, making them sterile. Both types of rollers are also available in combination.

Additional Products for the Freezing Sector

In addition to wheels and rollers, the Bielefeld conveyor technology specialist’s range includes polyethylene roller tracks, which are specifically designed for the freezing sector and are temperature-resistant up to minus 30 degrees Celsius. The portfolio is complemented by roller tracks, precision conveyors, and conveyor systems for intralogistics, trolleys, and Euro hooks. “Due to our many years of experience, we offer the right product for almost every requirement,” says Eschment. TORWEGGE not only ensures that optimal materials are used but also continuously develops its own solutions to increase their durability. Recently, the company launched a series of rollers that directs the jet of the high-pressure cleaner during daily cleaning in such a way that damage to the ball bearing is avoided. “With this special solution, we clearly differentiate ourselves from the competition,” says Eschment.

Blue Running Surfaces for Detection as Foreign Bodies

TORWEGGE also manufactures plastic wheels with blue running surfaces so that they can be immediately recognized as foreign bodies in case of chipping. They are rounded on the sides, preventing the formation of protein puddles where bacteria could accumulate despite daily cleaning. As the only manufacturer, TORWEGGE offers a bandage cushion transition that is drawn into the rim bed, which acts as a constant side impact protection. The quality of TORWEGGE products has already convinced many companies in the industry. “Our customers can rely on our high consulting expertise. Upon request, we manufacture customized transport and handling technology for the food sector,” says Eschment. From now on, TORWEGGE is addressing the fish, meat, and poultry industry even more specifically than before and has published a corresponding industry catalog on its homepage. A print version can also be requested through sales. Photo: © TORWEGGE
