Concealed cost drivers in design and production.

Developing and maintaining work environments for the food industry consistently poses major challenges to designers and engineers.
This issue is considered so important that Ganter Norm have published a White Paper on the subject.
This document is intended to raise the awareness of cost pitfalls in the design of machines and plants with high hygiene requirements, and to offer recommendations for preventing them.

Mick Widger, Standard Machine Elements UK Manager of Berger Tools writes…

“In my opinion this White Paper is an essential read when investigating the costs in the design of machines with superior hygiene demands and to propose solutions and ideas for avoiding them”

Please accept this free link to the Ganter Norm White Paper with our compliments.

Celebrating Award Winning Design!

This family of T handles, wing screws and nuts is ergonomic, highly functional and aesthetically pleasing - and as such has received both the German Design Award 2022 and the IF Design Award 2022 where the jury particularly emphasized the “outstanding ergonomic properties” as well as the “timeless” and “very high-quality” aesthetics.

In polished or matt shot blasted finishes, the smooth lines and gentle curves of these three parts make cleaning easy while being elegant and highly functional. 

The classic shape is comfortable to use and gives greater opening forces. It looks good with your design and allows integration of various clamping and operating functions, giving a consistent appearance across a wide range of machines. 

See them at Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Exhibition next month, on stand A240

New Product - GN113.30

Our new product, GN113.30 are used for quick fixing, connecting and locking of parts and workpieces. A typical application is locating pins which are frequently moved and reinstalled. 

This new option is made of titanium, suitable for use in highly corrosive environments. This also results in a 40% weight reduction when compared to an identical part manufactured in steel or stainless steel. This makes this product outstanding for use in lightweight construction, maritime applications and in chemical production. View more...

Spring Plungers

These parts may be small and easy to overlook, but they are useful for a myriad of applications. As well as being used as thrust elements and ejectors, they are important as positioning elements and stops on workpieces, for clamping of adjustable elements, securing parts and latching of mechanisms. There is a large range of sizes and material combinations, and high, standard and low spring loads. 

We have recently added increased choices, particularly for the popular stainless steel options, for example in the GN611, GN614.3, GN614.6 and GN815.1 versions pictured here. We can supply the right spring plunger for practically any application. View more...
