The food industry offers PR Rolls significant global market potential!

PR Rolls’ new Tecno Diamond FS coating has received food-grade approval. According to Jani Westerlund, CEO of PR Rolls, the approval enables the company to expand its on-site service offering to the food industry, particularly into the drum dryer coating market.

“In the Food Safe project, we developed a thermal coating in cooperation with Tampere University that is especially well suited for drum dryers. The Tecno Diamond FS coating is exceptionally wear-resistant, homogeneously consistent, and provides effective protection against acidity while withstanding intense scraping. Grinding and coating existing cylinders is a sensible alternative to acquiring new ones, so we have also invested in equipment specifically designed to meet the needs of the food industry,” Westerlund says.

Westerlund sees significant market potential for PR Rolls’ on-site services in the international food industry.

“It’s exciting to leverage PR Rolls’ strong experience and expertise in demanding on-site services in a completely new industry. Last fiscal year we achieved record revenue, and we expect the food industry to become a new pillar of growth that also enhances profitability.”

Food-grade approval means that the Tecno Diamond FS coating has passed EU-recommended migration tests for the corresponding coatings. The tests were conducted by an independent external laboratory. A declaration of conformity has also been prepared for the coating.
