Bodycote to showcase Kolsterising® technology at Anuga FoodTec 2024

Bodycote will be exhibiting at Anuga FoodTec 2024. The event, is the foremost international trade fair for Food and Beverage technology, will be held in Cologne from 19-22 March 2024. Bodycote will be located in Hall 5.1, Stand number A099, where it will feature its proprietary Kolsterising® technology, a cornerstone in the food and beverage industry for enhancing component durability and performance.

Kolsterising® is an advanced surface hardening process designed to significantly improve the wear resistance and corrosion properties of stainless steel and other alloys without compromising the the base material. This technology is particularly beneficial in the food and beverage industry, where machinery and components are subject to harsh processing conditions, including exposure to corrosive substances and the necessity for rigorous cleaning protocols.

The distinct advantage of Kolsterising® lies in its ability to extend the lifespan of critical components used in food processing equipment, such as mixing blades, conveyor belts, and cutting implements. By augmenting the surface hardness of these components, Kolsterising® not only enhances their wear resistance but also minimises downtime caused by maintenance and component replacement, thereby optimising operational efficiency and productivity. The technology is ideal for the food industry as it is not a coating and meets the strict health standards for food safety.

At Anuga FoodTec 2024, Bodycote’s showcase of the Kolsterising® technology will underscore the company’s role in propelling the food and beverage industry forward. Visitors to Bodycote’s stand will have the opportunity to  discuss trialling Kolsterising®,  on their components and explore how this technology can be tailored to meet the specific needs of their operations.
