Types of Food Processing and Cold Storage Hinges
At Kiesler Machine, we offer a
broad range of hinges for the food processing industry. Below are some of the key hinges commonly used in this industry:
- Model KP Pivot Hinges: These are used for doors that require smooth unlimited rotation. In cold storage, pivot hinges are useful for freezer and refrigeration doors because they allow doors to be easily opened and closed.
- Full Surface Hinges: These hinges are ideal for doors with frequent use. The bearings reduce wear and tear, ensuring smooth operation. In food processing and cold storage, where doors frequently need to open and close, these hinges provide a long-lasting and maintenance-free solution.
- Strap Hinges: These are heavy-duty hinges used in most industrial settings. In the cold storage industry, where doors are heavy, strap hinges can handle the weight and ensure smooth functionality.
