High-performance polymers for the food industry: hygiene, safety and durability

The agri-food sector is faced with strict hygiene standards (FDA, EU 10/2011, HACCP) requiring the use of safe, easy-to-clean, wear-resistant materials. High-performance polymers (HPP) are emerging as the alternative of choice to metals, which are often subject to corrosion, fouling or excessive maintenance.

DEMGY supports manufacturers of production, processing and packaging machinery with injected, machined or 3D printed components, specifically designed for the most demanding food environments.

• FDA / EU 10/2011-certified materials: PEEK, PPSU, PA12 FDA, PVDF
• Compatible with steam sterilization, high-pressure cleaning and CIP/SIP cycles
• Reduced maintenance costs thanks to self-lubrication and non-stick features
• Clean-room manufacturing, with full traceability of material batches

Dosing screws, guides and nozzles in PPSU or PA12 FDA

• Resistance to detergents and abrasion
• Rigidity and dimensional stability
• Certified for prolonged food contact

Bearings and slides in PEEK or PTFE

• Grease-free: naturally self-lubricating
• High temperature resistance, low friction
• Long service life under intensive cycles

3D printed trays, conveyors, manipulator arms

• Reinforced PEKK/PA12 printing: lighter, more customizable
• Easy to clean, no retention zone
• Suitable for small runs or specific formats
   

DEMGY designs high-performance plastic parts for the food industry that are hygienic, durable and efficient.
