Food Processing and Packaging Applications

The inherent cleanliness, bio-compatibility of RTZ ceramics and simple cleaning procedures (soap and warm water) are extremely desirable in food processing machines. Food packaging machines also exhibit considerable wear and tear due to continuous motion of the glass and metal containers on the conveyor belts.

Examples of ceramic applications for food processing and packaging include:

• Kneading rollers
• Extrusion nozzles for pasta
• Knives for chopping/shredding vegetables & meat
• Food processing machine components prone to wear and contaminate food products
• Wear and corrosion resistant parts for conveyor belts
• Ceramic coated conveyor platforms
