Case study Kesbeke: 'Our advice? Always call or email Axtra'

They are regularly on our table, the pickles and onions from Kesbeke. So it was really nice when they approached us with a question about their attachments. In this customer case we tell about Kesbeke's problem with their drum clamp and how we solved this problem. Read on quick!

The most delicious pickles in the Netherlands

At Kesbeke they have love and attention for their product: the tastiest pickles and onions. Kesbeke pickles has been making the most delicious pickles in the Netherlands since 1948. This family business makes all these goodies in their factory in the Netherlands. From there, the pickles go into the truck to be sold throughout the country.

A sour problem

Anyone who wants to make pickles needs vinegar and brine. This ensures those delicious pickles and Amsterdam onions. But it also brings with it a very sour problem: everything that vinegar and brine comes into contact with will corrode. This also applies to the drum clamp used by Kesbeke. “Our drum clamp wears out at a record pace, so we had to do something about it. We only want to work with safe and well-functioning tools”. According to Oos van Kesbeke.

Overhauled drum clamp

Fortunately, Axtra has a good solution for Kesbeke's problem. “We completely overhauled the Kesbeke drum clamp.” says Martina Kruidhof of Axtra. “This means that we dismantle the clamp, clean it thoroughly, repair it where necessary and lubricate it thoroughly. In addition, we derusted the clamp, sprayed it and reattached the rubbers.” The result? A drum clamp that feels and works like new again.

"No Haarlemmerdijkjes"

“We are extremely satisfied with the cooperation with Axtra” says Oos van Kesbeke. “ Axtra is always clear. Said in Amsterdam style: 'no Haarlemmerdijkjes'!” laughs East. We had to find out what that expression means, because we don't know any 'Haarlemmerdijkjes' here in Friesland. It turns out to be a great compliment, because a 'Haarlemmerdijkje' is a scammer. "Our advice? Always call or email Axtra. Quality always wins, Axtra proves that time and time again.” adds Oos Kesbeke.
