Food Industry Applications: Tool Balancers & Retractors

In food production—especially in meat processing, dairy, bakery, and sanitization zones—hygiene, safety, and efficiency are paramount. TECNA’s Food Industry Line delivers purpose-built tool balancers and retractors designed to meet these stringent requirements, while enhancing ergonomics and productivity.

Food-Grade Design & Materials

TECNA’s balancers feature stainless steel components throughout and aluminum housings treated with high-performance Rilsan® coating, resisting soap, detergent, steam, and moisture. Every internal part—including springs and cables—is built for corrosion resistance. Lubricants use NSF‑H1 certified food‑grade grease to comply with sanitary standards. 

Kromer also offers a rust-free line of balancers well suited for food production and processing.

Real-World Use Cases in Food Production

Meat Processing & Slaughter Lines:

  • Tools suspended: Heavy-duty meat saws, tenderizers, bone cutters.
  • Balancer types: Zero‑gravity models (35–180 kg range) with stainless internals.
  • Benefits: Operator precision, reduced fatigue, improved hygiene in carcass splitting and deboning

Dairy & Cheese Manufacturing:

  • Suspended equipment: Agitators and mixers in wet, humid vats.
  • Balancer types: Corrosion-resistant spring or zero‑gravity balancers 
  • Advantages: Tools remain elevated and clean, simplifying handling around moisture and sanitation areas

Bakeries, Confectionery & Packaging:

  • Common tools: Dough mixers, icing guns, sealing irons, peelers.
  • Balancer types: Light-to-medium spring balancers or retractors.
  • Outcomes: Fewer repetitive strain injuries; tools easily accessed and retracted cleanly

Sanitation & Cleaning Zones:

  • Managed devices: Washdown hoses, sprayers, scrubbing tools.
  • Balancer types: Retractors and hose festoon systems built for rugged washdown environments.
  • Benefits: Cleanable installation, off-floor tool storage, easier cleanup

Both TECNA’s and Kromer’s Food Industry Line offers durable, sanitary balancers and retractors engineered for wet, hazardous, chemical-rich environments. With a wide capacity range—from delicate mixers to heavy meat saws—these solutions enhance worker safety, reduce downtime, and maintain hygienic operations
