Food industry
From raw material to finished product
From raw material processing—including mixing and extrusion—to filling and packaging, the steps involved in food production are diverse and demanding. High hygiene standards, consistent performance, and smooth workflows are crucial to ensuring quality, efficiency, and safety at every stage of production.
Components that meet the demands
The requirements placed on machinery, systems, and their components are correspondingly high: they must be powerful, durable, and specifically designed for the rigorous conditions of food production. Factors such as ease of cleaning and maintenance, exposure to cleaning agents and disinfectants, and high temperatures demand maximum robustness, corrosion resistance, and a well-engineered, easy-to-assemble hygienic design. Only in this way can process reliability, impeccable product quality, and smooth operations be ensured.
With JAKOB technology, production processes run reliably, hygienically, and efficiently at every stage:
Backlash-free couplings: Easy-to-install stainless steel servo, distance, and safety couplings from stainless steel for precision drive technology—ideal for beverage filling lines, packaging machines, extruders, and many other applications. ATEX-compliant versions ensure safe and reliable operation in designated ATEX zones, such as in mills where flour dust can create explosive atmospheres.
Mechanical power clamping nuts: Efficient, user-friendly clamping technology—for example, for safe blade changes in meat cutters or for other cleaning and maintenance tasks.
Innovative vacuum technology: For applications in packaging machines, such as the coating or metallizing of food packaging materials.
We supply high-performance technology that enhances process reliability, ensures consistently high product quality across all stages of food production, and simplifies cleaning processes to meet the strictest hygiene standards. In this way, our customers benefit from greater cost-effectiveness, reliability, and efficiency.
