We machine production parts for Food Processing Machinery customers, from single prototypes through to repeat batches of tens of thousands. Typical work covers filler nozzles, conveyor guides and pump housings, usually in 304 or 316L.
What makes Food Processing Machinery different from general machining is not the geometry — it is the documentation and the failure modes. The parts that come back are the ones where cleanability by design — no crevices, no sharp internal corners was not designed out at the start.
Parts we machine for Food Processing Machinery
- Filler nozzles
- Conveyor guides
- Pump housings
- Cutting blades
- Trays
Materials we run for Food Processing Machinery
- 304
- 316L
- UHMW-PE
- POM-C
- PEEK
Standards and documentation
- FDA 21 CFR 177, EU 1935/2004, EHEDG guidelines
Tell us which standard applies and which documents you need with the shipment. Dimensional reports, material certificates, certificates of conformity and first article inspection reports are all available, and it is much cheaper to agree them before the batch runs than to reconstruct them afterwards.
Where Food Processing Machinery projects usually go wrong
- Cleanability by design — no crevices, no sharp internal corners
- Material must be food-contact approved, not just stainless

Frequently asked questions
Do you have experience with Food Processing Machinery parts?
Yes. Typical parts we run are filler nozzles and conveyor guides. We can share the process route and inspection approach for a comparable part before you commit.
Which materials do you recommend for Food Processing Machinery?
304, 316L, UHMW-PE, POM-C. The right choice depends on which of corrosion, weight, strength and cost is the binding constraint, and we will say so plainly rather than quoting the most expensive option.
What documentation do you provide?
A dimensional report and a certificate of conformity as standard. Material certificates, CMM reports, FAIR and PPAP submissions are available when your quality system requires them.
What tolerances do you hold for Food Processing Machinery parts?
Ra 0.8 um or better on product-contact surfaces; no blind tapped holes is typical for the industry. Tighter tolerance on individual features is possible and is quoted against the specific feature rather than the whole part.
