Food Industry
Regulation-compliant components for food & beverage processing
In the food industry, hygiene and safety are not just requirements—they are mandatory obligations. For this reason, Tecno Plastic Engineering supplies components made from engineering polymers certified for direct food contact, fully compliant with all major regulations: FDA, EC Regulation 1935/2004, EU Regulation 10/2011 (migration tested on semi-finished products) and, upon request, GMP EC Regulation 2023/2006.
Thanks to their sliding properties, wear resistance, and ease of sanitation, these materials are ideal for the operating conditions of the food industry: intensive washing, exposure to liquids, low or high temperatures, and strict non-contamination requirements.
When detectability is required
For production lines equipped with visual inspections, metal detectors, or X-ray systems, we offer detectable materials in blue, modified POM and PEEK grades that are optically visible and traceable through detection systems.
Key benefits for the food industry
- Full food-contact certifications (FDA + EU)
- High wear resistance in humid or abrasive environments
- Reliable operation from -40°C to +120°C
- Fast washing and uncompromised sanitation
- Smooth sliding, no contamination, easy cleaning
Recommended materials
- POM – High precision and stability, detectable versions available
- PE (300 / 500 / 1000) – Low friction, easy to clean, excellent chemical inertness
- PET – Rigidity, smooth sliding, chemical and thermal resistance
- PEEK – High mechanical performance, FDA-certifiable and detectable
- PTFE – Non-stick, resistant to chemicals and high temperatures
- PA6 – Versatile and durable, also available in food-grade versions
Typical applications
- Sliding guides
- Dosing systems and cutting surfaces
- Bushings and gears
- Structural parts for production lines
- Dosing and conveying systems
