For the right product

Operating conditions matter as much as dimensions.

We assess cross-section and material alongside the conditions at the product's point of use.

Dimensions and mounting

Inside diameter, wall thickness, channel cross-section, perimeter length and closing gap. A drawing or existing sample makes it easier to compare dimensions.

Temperature and cycles

Share the continuous temperature at the product's contact point, short-term peak temperatures, and the frequency of opening/closing or compression.

Contact and cleaning

The conveyed product, fabric, steam and cleaning chemicals are considered in material selection. Required food-contact compliance documentation is assessed separately.

Movement and load

Roller movement, jaw pressure, lid compression and line pressure are assessed alongside cross-section, hardness and mounting arrangement.
