Food & Beverage
A Sector Where There Is No Room for Compromise
The food and beverage industry operates under stringent hygiene and food safety requirements, leaving no room for compromise. Every component that comes into contact with food or beverages must withstand repeated cleaning without deteriorating or contaminating the product. This is why Hutchinson draws on more than 170 years of expertise in precision sealing to meet these demanding requirements.
Food Processing
Food processing involves numerous points of contact between production equipment and substances ranging from sugar to fats. Every pump and valve must therefore remain perfectly sealed, as even a minor leak can result in costly production downtime. Hutchinson develops O-rings and food-contact-certified sealing rings capable of withstanding both extreme temperatures and the most aggressive cleaning products.
Professional Beverage Machines, Vending Machines & Small Kitchen Appliances
Professional beverage machines and vending machines must deliver a consistent product hundreds of times a day without ever compromising hygiene, as any failure could result in leakage or contamination of the dispensing circuit.
Small kitchen appliances, by contrast, have different priorities, centred on user comfort and energy efficiency. Hutchinson's compact transmission belts can improve the energy efficiency rating of these appliances while also reducing noise.
