Live RDT testing drew customers to the Gherri Open House 2026

July 8, 2026

The Gherri Open House 2026 has come to an end. DANA Technology travelled to Parma, Italy, to take part together with the team at Gherri Meat Technology, our partner in Italy. During the event, we welcomed customers for meetings, product presentations, and live testing.

The focus was our Rotary Disc Texturizer (RDT), a patented solution for producing structured, fibrous protein chunks for wet pet food and food. The RDT turns meat emulsions and by-products into premium chunks with a meat-like texture.

Customers saw the machine in operation, discussed their production needs with our team, and tested real applications on site.

»Live testing changes the conversation. When customers see the RDT running and can test real applications on the spot, we move from ideas to concrete possibilities within a single meeting. That is exactly what an open house should do,« says Pedro Fossat, Head of Sales at DANA Technology.

We would like to thank Gherri Meat Technology for the excellent collaboration, the hospitality, and the professional organization of the event.

We are proud to support our partners and customers with technology, process know-how, and hands-on testing. We look forward to continuing the conversations we started in Parma.

To learn more about the RDT or to arrange a test with your own raw materials, contact Pedro Fossat, Head of Sales, at pfo@dana-technology.dk.

If you could not join us in Parma, you can book a live video demo of the RDT: We stream the demonstration directly from our test facility in Tommerup, Denmark, so you can watch the machine run, ask questions, and see the process from wherever you are in the world.
