Food industry

In modern food processing companies, operations are fully automated in order to minimise the risk of contamination, while ensuring high productivity levels.

The high degree of automation of food processing operations entails the use of machines that differ in weight, configuration and function but have in common the presence of mechanical components that produce vibrations, such as pumps, electric motors, servomechanisms, transportation/conveying systems, and refrigeration units.

The installation of anti-vibration mounts for food processing machinery is very economical and, with a low investment, it is possible not only to avoid breakdowns due to the lack of elastic isolation for the equipment, but also to dampen some of the noise generated by the machinery.

If they are not dampened in an appropriate manner, vibrations can damage the machines themselves, the floors and other machinery.

DAB’s rubber and metal anti-vibration mounts can be installed on various types of food processing machinery, including:

• • mixers and moulders
  • oil mills
  • centrifugal separators
  • rolling mills and purifiers
  • industrial ice cream machines.

The installation of vibration dampers is also recommended in the small food machinery used in catering, large-scale distribution and the HORECA channel.
