Ultra-hygienic fork, suitable for wineries or the food industry in general (meat, poultry, fruit and vegetables).

Strengths & advantages:

• Optimal hygiene: one-piece design with no easily contaminated corners, reducing the risk of material retention.
• Strong thermal resistance: withstands autoclave cleaning at 121°C without deformation.
• Suitable for food contact: materials and manufacturing comply with European and American standards for food contact.
• Ergonomics and robustness: reinforced handle, reinforced base, intensive use possible in demanding environments.
• Wide chemical range: can be used in acidic or basic environments (pH 2 to 10.5).
• Practical width: with its 265 mm width, it allows you to move reasonable volumes without putting too much strain on the user.

Conditions of use & precautions:

• Ensure the fork is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use, especially in critical areas.
• Do not expose to temperatures higher than recommended (food contact 100°C, cleaning 121°C).
• Do not use in pH conditions outside the specified range to avoid deterioration.
• Store away from strong UV light or prolonged harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
• Periodically check integrity (absence of cracks, deformation) to ensure safety.

Typical applications:

• Unloading fruit and vegetables from large bins or containers.
• Handling of products in the meat or poultry sectors.
• Transfer of food products during major production phases.
• HACCP environments where microbiological risks must be strictly controlled.
