SMC components for food and beverage production equipment
Food and beverage production equipment requires technical components designed for humidity, temperature variation, industrial handling and defined cleaning procedures. SMC can be used for equipment housings, covers, panels, guards and other components outside direct food contact, subject to project-specific validation.
Applications involving direct food contact, hygienic design or resistance to specific cleaning chemicals require project-specific material, design and regulatory validation.
Where corrosion, component weight or complex geometry limits a conventional solution, SMC may provide an efficient alternative when the formulation, design and validation requirements are met.
Typical Applications
MEA Industries can develop SMC components for a wide range of food and beverage production equipment.
- Equipment housings
- Protective covers and guards
- Technical panels
- Non-food-contact machine components
- Equipment-support components, subject to engineering validation
- Moulded components designed for defined cleaning procedures
- Components for humid or corrosive environments, depending on formulation
- Ancillary production-equipment components
Customer Benefits
Depending on the formulation and project requirements, SMC components can offer:
- Corrosion resistance for defined environments
- Durable performance under validated operating conditions
- Dimensional stability
- Functional integration within equipment
- Resistance to humidity, depending on formulation
- Design flexibility
- Repeatable quality in series production
