materials for the food industry

[Paolo mec]

Hello everyone, is the first time I write in this forum and I hope I don't miss anything, I'm bumping into the design of honey industry machines, so the food industry, the doubt arises in the use of materials, for all mechanical parts I'm taking into account using inx 304 and already here I arise a question: of such steel there is a special alloy for use in contact with foods maybe certified or is it okay regardless? I have always seen that many plastics are used, I wanted to know for myself if there are any particular designations? If someone in the industry or who knows something can help me, I'd be very helpful. thanks to the attention

steels in the food industry are used for the vast majority of cases 304 and 304l and 316 and 316 l.
Usually 304 is still well accepted.
take into account the process of washing cyp so as to assess whether all surfaces in contact with the product must be polished with ra. less than 0.8

plastics are used ptfe, hdpe, etc...

In some cases, the fda certificate (American for the food industry) is required.

thanks endless, for the surface finish I had already thought of a ra less than 0.8 to facilitate the removal of dirt in the washing phase, regarding plastics, are they difficult to find? Can you tell me where you can find them?

for paolo mec: missing your presentation, mandatory!
and give an eye to the rules.

There are companies that only work plastics, I stock myself at a Bergamo company ( http://www.robecchi.com/default-1.htm ), which in my opinion had excellent value for money, and then provided me only 1 piece that was what I needed... We didn't make series but single pieces, so that's something to take into account. :wink:

I take advantage to introduce myself here not having found a section entitled presentations, my name is paolo and work as a designer in a company of machine tools, in time lost I take care of third-party projects of all sectors, I use softwere thinkdesign despite its poor reliability seen with the years, but the company made this choice, looking for information on the internet I came across this forum that I find really interesting and full of useful info, I hope to bring

For p-h, your information has been very helpful, I have already contacted the company, now I look forward to answering. Thanks again. I'll let you know any developments. :finger:
