VGK, Inc of Pella Iowa has been chosen by Lou Dobbs on Fox Business Channel to be featured on “Manufacturing Marvels.” This showcase spotlights the company, products and customers, and has been airing for many years.
VGK, Inc. of Pella manufactures an Oil Free, Stainless Steel Meat Trolley system for packing plants. This meat trolley and matching radius Stainless Steel rail solves a significant contamination issue in these plants. Traditionally, meat packers use trolley oil to keep steel trolleys and rail from rusting and to hold in suspension, steel shavings contamination caused by metal to metal contact from wheel to rail.
This Black Speck contamination inevitably falls on the carcass and is required to be trimmed. The VGK trolley combines stainless steel with plastic to form a wheel that requires no oil and eliminates metal to metal contact from wheel to rail, thus no trimming from Black Specks. The VGK wheel runs for years versus months for the old steel wheel.
VGK is represented nationally by Bunzl Processor Division and some of its customers include Seaboard Foods of Guymon OK, Triumph Foods, St Joseph MO, Indiana Packers, Delphi IN, and in Iowa, STF-Seaboard Triumph Foods, Sioux City and Prestage Foods, Eagle Grove.
The VGK Manufacturing Marvels segment will air 9:30pm CT on July 14 (see video below).
