Heat, abrasion, and corrosion tolerant construction materials for food processing machinery

Objective

The selection of construction materials for machinery in the food industry is therefore difficult since the materials not only have to fulfil the high technical demands but must also conform to valid laws and restrictions. A common problem for the food-processing industry is therefore any parts of the machinery which may cause contamination of the products with abrasives, particles, fibres etc. This danger exists especially for mechanically stressed parts such as bearings in extruders, heaters, screw pumps, mixers, kneaders, and continuous churns or packaging machines. In the past, such machinery contained bearings made from mineral and/or glass fibre composite naturals. For reasons of safety, directive 96/11/CEE no longer allows the use of these materials for machinery in contact with food products. Therefore the objective of the proposed research project is to develop an inexpensive material which can be used for the construction of mechanically stressed components such as b
