ABM Company

Challenge

Processing fish or meat is a messy business, generating large quantities of liquids and sediments that risk clogging up machines and obstructing smooth and safe operation by users, presenting a hygiene risk in the form of bacteria forming inside surface cracks. ABM is an Italian company that designs and manufactures quality food processing machines – patty formers, chop cutters, dicers, and meat mincers. The company’s product teams place great importance on listening to its customers’ changing needs and designing features that make using and maintaining its machines as safe, friendly and hygienic as possible.

Everswitch’s Solution

Everswitch’s piezo switches are excellently suited for the demanding environments of food processing and restaurants. Not only can they be comfortably exposed to the toughest cleaning regimes using high-pressure water, high temperatures and strong chemicals, but they can also stand up to intensive usage while resisting failures caused by clogging from food debris and leaving no space for bacteria to penetrate.

The secret behind Everswitch’s indestructibility is specially developed encapsulation technology that hermetically seals the switch’s electronic module from the front and back. This double protection makes the switch impervious to penetration by anything – water, food liquids, contaminants, steam, chemicals – you name it. The result: more hygienic and long-lasting controls.
