Why “FreeTherm”? for the food processing system
The name FreeTherm represents the wonderful unity of Natec and Gold Peg in the Natec Network.
“Free” comes from Natec’s intelligent filling equipment, the FreeSlice and FreePack, while “Therm” comes from Gold Peg’s renowned continuous food processing system, the RotaTherm and MicraTherm.
It is not just the name that comes from the two companies, the design and manufacture embodies their shared knowledge and experience. This is the access to the strength and support of the Natec Network.
