Engineering Plastics for Food Processing and Packaging Equipment
        
        
        
        
Are you Guilty of always using the same Engineering Plastics in all Applications?
        
        
As more and more companies move towards World Class Manufacturing sytems (i.e. Lean, Six Sigma etc.) and are engaged in meeting with Regulatory requirements (FDA, USP, etc.,) we have seen the need for materials that will increase performance, work in more extreme environments and meet statutory requirements.

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (QEPP) has unveiled a complete line of Food Compliant Materials (FCM). These new materials are designed to provide superior performance for machined plastic parts used in product contact in food & beverage processing and packaging equipment.

We are pleased to introduce this complete food contact materials program for all that are serving the food processing and packaging industry. The new food-compliant materials can be heated or cooled repeatedly without affecting food taste or appearance. Food preparation equipment utilizing some of these grades can be frequently disinfected and sterilised without fear of degradation. In addition, bearing or load surfaces made from plastics will not introduce dangerous shavings and require no lubrication.



These new food contact-compliant products offer excellent chemical resistance against cleaning and sanitizing substances used during food processing, and with some products we can offer them in a Blue colour to secure traceability of potential plastic content in processed food. The materials' self-lubrication and high wear resistance enables FCM products to deliver lower maintenance costs and good environmental performance.
The current range of 24 materials in the FCM product line offers OEMs and designers a choice of high-performance material solutions with highly dimensionally stable, temperature-resistant, economical parts.
      
        
        
        

Materials in the new food-compliant product line meet the demands of an array of important cleaning and sanitising procedures including CIP (Clean-in-Place), COP (Clean-Out-of-Place), and SIP (Sterilization-In-Place). They also satisfy a range of food-contact compliance regulations in Europe and the United States.
Quadrant's new product offering includes highly chemical-resistant materials like TIVAR® polyethylene (UHMW-PE), KETRON® polyetheretherketone (PEEK), TECHTRON® polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), SYMALIT® polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), and FLUOROSINT® Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
FCM products also include self-lubricating grades, such as NYLATRON® LFG polyamide 6 (PA6), ERTALYTE® TX polyethylene terephthalate (PET), KETRON® PEEK-TX, and TECHTRON® HPV PPS. A range of standard colours in ERTACETAL® C acetal, CESTICOLOR® ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) PE, and KETRON PEEK 1000 round out the offering.

Quadrant's new materials are targeted for a range of shapes to machine plastic parts used in food processing equipment including guides, bushings, housings, thrust washers, forming plates, and scrapers. Key industry segments served include bakeries for use in products such as tunnel ovens and forming, kneading, and cake-filling machinery; dairy processing and packaging; meat and sausage-processing equipment (cutters, grinders, mixers); confectionary; and beverage processing and filling.

So consider the Materials outlined in this brochure and don't be guilty from lack of choice!
