The food industry is a complex collective of diverse businesses that supply most of the food consumed by the world. This covers a series of industrial activities directed at the processing, conversion, preparation, preservation, and packaging of food, beverages, and confectioneries. DieQua’s gearbox technology plays an important role in these processes, ensuring standards are met. No matter the application, there are regulations and standards associated with the products used in equipment. Our job as a gearbox manufacturer is to understand what these standards are, so we can either match the stock products or make the appropriate modifications to build products that meet and exceed those standards.
