WHAT FOOD GRADE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE USED IN FOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT?
Today’s food industry relies on specialized machines that require specialized parts capable of withstanding repetitive motion, impact, and continuous operation.
As a single source for plastic parts engineering, tooling, and production, we can accommodate a range of project needs for meat products, frozen foods, fruit and vegetables, and pet food. Whether you require custom orders, short production runs, or high-volume quantities, our multiple manufacturing processes are designed to meet your specifications.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FOOD GRADE PLASTIC MATERIAL FOR FOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT PARTS
The exact plastic material composition is an important factor in the food processing industry. Our plastic experts will determine the best food-safe plastic material, including custom resins and colors, for your application.
Our precision plastic parts for food-safe applications are made of a variety of highly durable plastic materials such as food grade nylon, food grade acrylic, food grade HDPE, food grade UHMW, and FDA-approved elastomers. We continually innovate and look for ways to improve the equipment life and reduce long-term procurement and maintenance costs.
DPI’s food grade UHMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is an excellent material choice for food processing equipment components that require high durability, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and low friction. Additionally, food grade UHMW-PE can be approved as FDA compliant and USDA compliant, ensuring it is suitable for food contact substances. We have the capabilities to injection-mold food grade UHMW to your exact part specifications.
Our creative engineering team specializes in designing innovative, custom food-grade plastic materials for food processing and packaging machinery, including the creation of metal detectable components that dramatically lower the risk of food contamination. Metal detectable plastics can provide superior wear properties with less noise, weight, and maintenance, all while meeting FDA requirements and ensuring food safety compliance.
For food processing operations, DPI’s engineered food-safe plastic and polymer products offer a range of important advantages over traditional materials.
