HygieneIn the food industry, hygiene is the top priority. Plastics have the advantage of being easy to clean – with hot compressed air, amongst other techniques – and they keep food safe.CertificationOur plastics that come into contact with food have the required certification for the food industry, and the traceability of individual parts is guaranteed.Optical detectabilityOur food-compliant plastics are also available in the easily distinguishable colour of blue. This enables optical detectability in the event of abrasion or flaking and creates additional production reliability.
International standardsDifferent countries, different standards! In Europe, the USA and China, the requirements for materials that can be used vary considerably. For example, meta-technik processes materials with Halal certification. We strive to implement the needs of all our customers. And to do that, we need just the correct information.Chemical resistanceFor food production, the media resistance of plastic materials is definitely a plus. Plastics are stable and resistant even with aggressive foods such as milk, tomatoes and lemon juice.Correct choice of materialBut be careful! Just because, for example, rollers are used to transport food, they do not need to be certified as being food-compliant.
