DGS Processing Solutions

DGS Processing Solutions, based in Haaksbergen (NL), automates and optimises production processes in the food industry across Europe. From slaughter lines and intralogistics to complete production lines, its solutions deliver more capacity, higher efficiency and maximum control over the process.

For DGS and its customers, keeping pathogens out of the production process is key. That makes the stainless steel surface of every machine part critical.

DGS applies ViwateQ Finishing with its own ViwateQ installation in its own production facility. The patented wet finishing process works without aggressive chemicals and optimises the topography of the stainless steel, including welds and complex geometries.

According to CEO Richard Vonk, the benefits are clear:

  • Hygiene: adhesion and transfer of bacteria are kept to a minimum, reducing the risk of cross-contamination
  • Corrosion resistance: a clean, passivated stainless steel surface
  • Robustness: added value over the equipment’s lifetime
  • Appearance: a consistent, premium finish customers notice
