3. Case Application
A domestic customer selected our company’s 1.28-inch metal knurled knob screen for upgrades to its tea bar, in-line, and under-the-counter bucket products. The product has entered trial production and will be sold online during the 618 shopping festival.
Currently, the product features a comprehensive range of settings, precise temperature control, easy operation, convenient cleaning, and is safe and energy-efficient.
