Specification

PEEK is high performance plastic with excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures.
PEEK ( Victrex 450G, non filled/ virgin) in FOOD INDUSTRY :
PEEK polymer has successfully replaced glass, ceramics, stainless steel or other expensive metals to produce a growing range of cost-effective parts with outstanding wear, heat and chemical resistance. All grades of unfilled PEEK polymer have been given compliance from US Food and Drug Administration FDA for repeated used in food contact application. This opens up significant new windows of opportunity for equipment manufacturers serving the food processing and catering industries to maximise component performance and value.
Contact with all types of food has been approved, at temperatures up to and including typical cooking temperatures. The material is expected to be used in repeated use application with no minimum contact periods.

Applications :
-manufacture of containers for holding food during heating or cooking in an oven, microwave oven.
-as components of machinery and equipment used in the preparation of food, eg microwave ovens, food conveyors, mixers, ultra filtration membranes etc.
-for bearings, seatings and seats to be used in food processing equipment.
-as coating on, mainly metal, substrates for food equipment.

Compared with traditional materials, peek are both easier and more cost effective to manufacture with no compromise in performance. From highly wear resistant bearings, seatings and seats, to precision cutting blades and energy efficient pumps, PEEK polymer components will keep machinery running at peak productivity levels across the whole range of food processing activities : milling, emulsifying, granulating, liquefying and pureeing of countless dry, paste and liquid products.
The latest food processing equipment is designed for self-cleaning to ensure the highest standards of quality and hygiene. With the push of a button, cleaning solutions and then rinse-water are automatically routed throughout the equipment. This clean in place solutions are generally acid or more commonly chlorine based. PEEK has an incredibly stable chemical structure. It provides excellent resistance to a very wide range of organic and inorganic liquids, even at elevated temperatures.
Components for aseptic processing and packaging equipment must withstand the high operating temperatures that are required to quickly kill bacteria.
As more and more catering companies are rationalising their food preparation systems, there are further opportunities for the material to replace stainless steel and glass in professional cookware utensils. The material retains excellent mechanical properties at temperature up to 270C allowing food to be heated by hot air, oven, combi steamer, thermal contact heater or microwave.
