Cut To Size Plastics offers materials that are designed to ensure maximum hygiene, safety and cost-efficiency for food, beverage and primary product processing.
The company, which engineers OEM and replacement components from the globally proven Wefapress engineering plastics range, says its products for critical processes in such businesses offer real cost-advantages through easy fabrication and proven compliance with top world hygiene standards.
OEM and replacement parts fabricated from Wefapress’ St 6000 AST, 6000 MDP and 7000 AMB ranges already comply with the major world standards, such as those of the US FDA and the European Regulation No 10/2011 defining contact between plastics and food, said Pat Flood, NSW Manager of Cut To Size Plastics.
The company has more than 35 years’ experience in manufacturing components for applications across the Asia-Pacific from its head office in Sydney where facilities include CNC machining coupled with GibbsCAM and Solidworks software. It also offers in-depth advice on the best product for particular jobs.
“The latest Wefapress products for critical processes in the food industry set global standards in terms of the hygiene, wear resistance and sustainability of special materials,” said Flood.
Special Wefapress products for manufacturing, sorting, processing and distribution of food, beverage and agricultural products include:
- St 6000 AST (FDA). The antistatic quality of the PE-UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) materials prevents electrical charging of high-speed work processes. Plant operators benefit from its outstanding sliding properties, resistance to wear, temperature and chemical resistance, as well as dimensional stability.
- St 6000 MDP. This PE-UHMW containing metallic additives to aid in the incorporation of contaminant detectors widely used in industries extending from the baking and meat processing to processing and packaging of consumer products.
- St 7000 AMB. This ultra-high molecular weight anti-microbacterial polyethylene has been optimised for critical production processes. The additives in this material offer long-term protection against bacteria and fungal attack, setting a standard in sustainable hygiene. Applications range from antiseptic kitchen tables through to antibacterial conveyor belts. ST 7000 AMB is completely safe for humans and the environment and does not contain any heavy metals or other poison additives.
The latest Wefapress products complement Cut To Size’s broader range of materials widely used in food, beverage and primary product processing.
