Materials for Food Contact, Cleanability, and Wear
We machine a wide range of thermoplastics and high‑performance polymers suitable for food and beverage environments. On request, we source grades compliant with FDA (US) and/or EU 10/2011 food‑contact requirements and provide material documentation.
UHMW‑PE
Outstanding wear resistance, very low friction, impact toughness. Ideal for guides and wear strips.
POM / Acetal (POM‑C)
Excellent dimensional stability and machinability. Ideal for star wheels, timing screws, gears.
HDPE & PP
Economical, good chemical resistance. Trays, guards, spacers, non‑load‑bearing parts.
PTFE
Extreme chemical resistance and non‑stick surfaces. Seals, seats, sliding elements.
PVDF
High purity, chemical and CIP/SIP resistance. Fluid‑handling components.
PEEK
High temperature and chemical resistance. Hot zones, steam exposure, precision bushings.
PPSU / PSU / PEI
Elevated‑temperature service, good sterilization resistance.
Nylon (PA)
Tough, wear‑resistant. Dry or lubricated applications where moisture uptake is managed.
Further options include antistatic and conductive grades, reinforced blends, and detectable plastics (metal/X‑ray detectable) for enhanced foreign‑object control.
Food‑contact compliance depends on the specific resin and colorant. Please specify your required standard (e.g., FDA, EU 10/2011) so we can select appropriate grades and provide documentation.
Machining Capabilities Tailored to Hygienic Parts
- CNC milling and turning for complex 2D/3D geometries
- Drilling, tapping, threading, slotting, counterbores, countersinks
- Consistent dimensional control for mating assemblies
- Custom tolerances per drawing; tight‑tolerance features available
- Surface finishes tuned for low friction or easy cleaning
- Edge radiusing and deburring to remove crevices and sharp edges
We focus on machining strategies that control heat, minimize stress, and maintain stability in plastics — helping your parts meet both functional and hygienic requirements.
Design for Hygiene, Reliability, and Clean‑in‑Place (CIP)
We support engineers with design and material decisions specific to food equipment. Send us your operating temperature, chemicals, food‑contact zones, and cleaning methods; we will recommend suitable resin options and finishing approaches.
Hygienic Geometry
Radiused transitions, smooth surfaces, and crevice‑free details to reduce residue traps.
Thread & Hole Strategy
Avoid blind holes in food‑contact zones; specify chamfers for cleanability.
Chemical Resistance
Material selection for alkaline or oxidizing CIP media, acids, and sanitizers.
Temperature Resistance
Choose PEEK/PPSU/PTFE/PVDF for hot zones, steam exposure, or SIP.
Dimensional Stability
Manage moisture uptake and thermal expansion; advise on tolerances by material.
Wear Life & Detectability
Select UHMW‑PE, acetal, or filled grades; detectable materials and contrasting colors available.
Quality, Inspection & Documentation
- Dimensional inspection per your drawing; inspection reports available on request
- Material certificates from resin suppliers (e.g., FDA/EU statements where applicable)
- Lot traceability and clear part/box labeling for maintenance and spares
- Repeatability for ongoing orders with locked process parameters and fixtures
Packaging and Logistics for Clean Delivery
- Clean, protected packaging with part separation to prevent scuffs and contamination
-
