VLD Service delivers high-precision mechanical services for the food, pharmaceutical and logistics industries in Switzerland. Our experienced team performs assembly work with tolerances below 0.1 mm — a level of accuracy that is critical when installing washing, sorting and packaging systems in meat and dairy processing.
- High-precision assembly with tolerances below 0.1 mm
- TIG welding stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical industry
- Gas welding for dairy and pharmaceutical applications
- Retrofit and modernization of existing systems
Mechanical Expertise for the Food Industry
In food production, mechanical work must meet the highest standards: stainless steel instead of structural steel, hygienic weld seams instead of visible spatter, cleanable surfaces instead of hidden corners. Our team brings exactly this experience — from over 20 years of work on plants for meat processing, dairy technology, bakeries and convenience food production.
TIG Welding on Stainless Steel
We weld stainless steel piping, structures, frames and vessels directly on-site at your plant. TIG welding guarantees clean, smooth seams without slag — essential for plants that are regularly cleaned and disinfected. Whether process lines, CIP piping or load-bearing structures: we deliver weld seams that withstand even a HACCP inspection.
Assembly and Modification
Setting up a new machine, extending an existing line, rerouting a conveyor, adapting a structure — mechanical assembly work is our core business. We work to manufacturer specifications or your own plans: alignment, leveling, fastening, connection to existing infrastructure. Everything from a single source, from the welding bench to completed commissioning.
Repair and Replacement
Defective gearmotor, worn conveyor belt, leaking pipe, broken shaft — mechanical defects must be resolved quickly and professionally. We diagnose the cause, repair on-site and replace components. Manufacturer-independent, on equipment of any brand.
