Food Processing
Industrial food processing has very strict standards on material properties used in tooling, as well as on contamination protocols.
BÖHLER Steels are certified due to their resistance to the migration of chemical elements from steel to foodstuffs.
Our steels, thanks to their high purity and corrosion resistance, are totally safe and prevent alteration of the flavour of the food with which they come into contact.
Applications and properties
Different types of applications are envisaged in the food processing industry:
- Sliced
- Chopped
- Grated
- Extruded
- Cutting
- Pressing
- Shredding
- Grinding
It is essential that the steels used in these applications have:
- Wear and corrosion resistance so that they can achieve long service times thanks to a longer service life
- High resistance to chemical abrasion in order to avoid food contamination with metal ions from the tool
Our steels are certified and reflect compliance with regulations:
- Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 on materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs.
- Regulation (EC) 2023/2006 on good practice in the production of food contact materials.
