INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for Food and Beverage

From commercial cutting surfaces to conveyor wear parts, food processing demands materials that are cleanable, non-absorbent, and compliant. Food-grade HDPE, UHMW and acetal meet sanitation standards while outwearing the parts they replace. We cut them to size and machine them to spec.

Common Food and Beverage Applications

  • Bushings bearings, cams
  • Conveyor parts
  • Feed screws
  • Guide rails
  • Machine guards, windows
  • Pipes and tubes for fluid processing
  • Pistons/plungers
  • Rollers
  • Seals, seats, gaskets
  • Gears, sprockets
  • Star wheels
  • Thermoformed machine housings
  • Wear strips
  • Forming dies
  • Scraper blades
  • Cams and cam guides
  • Nozzles/dispensing heads

Why Plastics Win

  • Lightweight for high speed production using smaller drive motors
  • Reduced maintenance and reduced contamination by eliminating lubrication
  • Resistance to clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitize-in-place (SIP) cleaning chemicals
  • Resistant to hot water and steam
  • Long wear life
  • Limited wear on food packaging and/or mating machine parts
  • Transparency for easy viewing of machine during operations
  • Grades are available that comply with FDA, NSF, 3A dairy and other federal agency regulations
  • Visual and Metal detectable materials available

Materials We Supply for Food & Beverage

  • Acetal (POM)
  • Acrylic (PMMA)
  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Nylon (PA)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET)
  • Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
  • Polyetherimide (PEI)
  • Polyamide-imide (PAI)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – rigid and flexible
  • Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE)
  • Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE)

HOW WE SUPPORT FOOD & Beverage

Stocked, cut to size, and machined to your drawings

Sheet, rod and tube in the grades this industry specs, no full-sheet minimums. CNC routing, laser cutting, bending, welding and machining under our ISO 9001:2015 system (Cert No. 23746), with material certs and first article inspection on request. Prototype to production.
