Food Grade Polyurethane Products
Food grade polyurethane products play an important role in various industries related to food processing, handling, and storage. These products are designed to meet strict safety and quality standards, ensuring that they do not contaminate food during contact.
Food grade polyurethane products are widely used in transportation, sealing, and buffering components within the food processing industry. They are highly favored by food processing equipment manufacturers.
Food Grade Urethane Products Application in the Food Industry
Food Processing Equipment - In food processing plants, for example, food grade polyurethane is used to make components like conveyor belts. These belts transport food products from one processing stage to another. Their non - stick properties prevent food from sticking to the belts, reducing waste and maintaining product quality.
Gaskets and seals made of food grade polyurethane prevent leaks in processing equipment such as tanks, pipes, and valves. They maintain a hygienic environment by blocking contaminants and preventing food product leakage.
Food Grade Polyurethane Products Application
In beverage production, the round drive belts used to transport beer bottles or cans are made of food grade polyurethane. They can handle the weight and movement of containers without contaminating the product.
In bakeries, food grade polyurethane is used in dough conveyors. These conveyors move dough from the mixing stage to the baking stage smoothly without sticking, ensuring a seamless production process.
In fruit and vegetable processing, washing, and sorting equipment, food grade polyurethane is used in the construction of washing tanks and sorting conveyors. The material can endure the abrasive nature of produce and constant exposure to water and cleaning agents.
Advantages of Urethane Productsin Food Processing Industry
Safety-Manufacturers formulate food grade polyurethane products to be non - toxic. It doesn't release harmful chemicals, heavy metals, or substances that could endanger human health when in contact with food. Thus, it's a reliable material for food - related environments and complies with international food safety regulations, such as those set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and similar bodies in other countries.
Hygiene-This material resists the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast. Its smooth surface makes cleaning and sanitization easy, reducing the risk of microbial contamination in food processing areas. It can withstand various cleaning agents and sanitization methods commonly used in the food industry and maintain its integrity and performance over time.
Mechanical Properties-Food grade polyurethane products has good mechanical strength, including high tensile strength and tear resistance. This allows its use in applications under stress, such as conveyor belts, gaskets, and seals. It also has good elasticity, which is beneficial for products like hoses and tubing that need to flex without cracking.
Customized- We can mold polyurethane into various shapes and sizes. This enables us to produce a wide range of products to meet different application needs in the food industry. Whether it's a complex - shaped component for a processing machine or a simple food container, we can customize it accordingly.
