Foodtech
Food, ingredients and dairy production
Industrial equipment for processing meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit and cereals food processing equipment - plays a crucial role in food production and processing. The equipment is designed to optimize efficiency, ensure quality and increase production capacity.
Critical factors for food equipment
What are the key elements OEM manufacturers, service and maintenance companies need to be aware of when designing, repairing and rebuilding equipment for the food industry?
Robustness, durability and performance
The machines must withstand high production volumes and constant use, often in harsh environments. Stainless steel and other resistant materials are typically chosen for their ability to resist wear and corrosion. The machines must handle the food with high precision and consistency. This requires advanced control and guidance systems in addition to precision components.
Product safety and hygiene
Machine parts and components in contact with food must meet applicable industry standards or regulations and have the necessary approvals.
The equipment must be easy to clean and maintain to prevent bacterial growth and cross-contamination.
A good design minimizes dead zones and makes it easy to disassemble components for thorough cleaning.
Energy and cost efficiency
With rising energy prices and increased focus on sustainability, manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved through innovative design solutions such as energy-efficient motors and heat recovery systems.
The initial outlay for high-quality machinery and equipment can be significant, but the long-term savings in terms of increased productivity, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs can make it a sound, worthwhile investment.
When machine builders and service companies meet these strict requirements and industry standards, they deliver the highest value to their customers.
Product solutions that meet all standards and requirements in the food industry
Do you want to avoid spending time and costly misinvestments in components that don't meet the requirements of the food industry anyway?
Betech offers manufacturing conditions and product solutions in materials that meet standards, approvals and regulations on three continents. These can be approvals and standards for food contact materials (FCM) and drinking water applications or the sanitary standards often required in process equipment and manufacturing facilities.

Smiley - food inspection
Betech stores and handles materials that may come into contact with food in end-user applications. Therefore, Betech is subject to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration's "Smiley" inspection scheme.

Make your equipment better with products from Betech
In the food industry, the right choice of gaskets, seals, technical rubber parts as well as vibration dampers and machine feet can be crucial for reliable operation and safe product quality.
Industrial gaskets
Industrial gaskets are essential to ensure tightness in different parts of food equipment.
In pumps and valves, industrial seals prevent leakage of liquids and gases, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
In heat exchangers, they ensure that there is no cross-contamination between different fluids passing through the equipment.
Static seals
Static seals are used (like gaskets) in situations where the sealing surfaces are fixed in relation to each other. They ensure that no leakage occurs during operation.
In pressure vessels, the seal prevents leakage under high pressure and temperature.
In pipe connections, preventing the escape of liquid, vapor or gas, O-rings and Clamp seals in particular are popular due to easy disassembly when cleaning the pipe systems.
Dynamic seals
Dynamic seals are used in machine parts that move relative to each other and ensure that no leakage occurs during movement.
In rotating equipment such as pumps and mixers, mechanical shaft seals or braided packing rings ensure that no leakage occurs during rotation.
In hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder systems, piston and rod seals prevent leakage of liquids or gases.
Molded rubber and silicone parts
Molded rubber and silicone parts are widely used in food production and processing equipment due to the materials' characteristic durability and elasticity.
In conveyor belts and other handling equipment, molded rubber parts help absorb shock and minimize wear.
In pumps and valves, they can provide flexible connections and seals that resist pressure and temperature changes.
Shaped as hoses or flexible pipes, rubber parts can be used in fluid and media conveying applications.
Vibration dampers and machine feet
Vibration dampers and machine feet minimize noise and vibrations from pumps, mixers and other vibrating machinery.
They improve the physical working environment, stabilize machinery and extend equipment life by reducing wear and absorbing pressure and shocks.
They are especially important in high-speed and high-volume production lines where even minor vibrations can have a significant impact on product quality and equipment lifetime.
High-quality products and services
It is important to us that you receive high-quality products and advice. That's why we have an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system covering product design, production and service.
We perform measurement reports on critical dimensions and produce according to ISO 3302-1 (Tolerances for rubber and silicone products), DIN 7715-5 (tolerances for rubber stamped and cut parts), DIN 61206 (tolerances for needle felt/wool felt) and GKV tolerances for PTFE/plate materials. Finer tolerances can usually be met upon request.
