Customer Feedback
-
Please tell us why you chose the HG-TLAJ hinge.We adopted the hinges with the aim of making cleaning easier, and reducing cleaning time, after using the devices.
Previously, the lids had to be removed to wash the devices, but with the spring-assist torque hinges, the devices can now be rinsed simply by lifting the lids, without removing them. -
How has the HG-TLAJ hinge performed after adoption?We have been able to reduce our cleaning times.
We feel that the benefits of this system include the ability to open the lids with ease, since food processing sites are often staffed by women, and the fact that the lids do not close unexpectedly, which helps prevent injuries. -
Please let us know if you have any requests for the future.We would appreciate any suggestions you could give us for products that would help reduce costs and improve functionality.
