Parts for packaging and food machines

What we machine for packaging and food machinery

Real parts from our shop floor, photographed as they left the machines.

Angled 5083 aluminum machine part with features on several faces
5083 aluminum · 3+2 machined

Angled mounts and blocks

Features on several faces cut in fewer setups, so angles and hole positions line up.

Turned stainless steel shafts with threads, grooves, and a milled cross block
Stainless steel · turn-mill

Drive and roller shafts

Turned and milled in one setup, so cross holes and flats stay true to the shaft axis.

White engineering plastic split washers, flanged bushings, and a threaded nozzle
Engineering plastics

Bushings, washers, and nozzles

Low-friction wear parts that run without lubrication next to the product.

Clear polycarbonate machined cover with a curved channel and mounting holes
Polycarbonate · flame polished

Clear guides and covers

Operators can see the product through the part. Flame polishing is done by a partner.

Small white nylon part with a row of precision micro holes
Nylon · micro holes

Small parts with hole rows

Rows of small holes drilled in plastic without burrs or melted edges.

Two turned shafts with flanges and bolt holes, concentric diameters, external threads, and pins fitted in-house
Steel · turned, pins fitted

Flanged taper shafts

Concentric diameters and threads, with pins fitted in-house before shipping.

Materials and finishes

Materials for washdown and product-contact zones

We machine the grade on your drawing. These are the ones packaging and food machine builders ask for most.

MaterialWhere it is usedFinish options
Stainless 304 / 316LProduct-contact parts, shafts, washdown frames and bracketsPassivation, electropolishing, bead blasting
Aluminum 6061 / 6082 / 5083Flanges, format plates, housings away from direct product contactAnodizing, hard anodizing up to 50 µm
POM (acetal), nylonBushings, guides, star wheels, wear stripsAs machined, deburred
PEEKHot zones and parts that see cleaning chemicalsAs machined, inserts fitted
PolycarbonateClear guards, guides, and inspection windowsFlame polishing via partner
Food-contact parts: we can supply the material supplier's certificate on request; ask when quoting, since availability depends on the supplier. Compliance of the finished machine follows your design and your certification. We don't hold food-safety certifications ourselves.
What packaging machine builders need

Built around how packaging machine parts are bought

Change parts that swap in

Format and change parts are measured against your drawing, so a new set fits the machine without shimming or rework at your customer's plant.

Spares that match the original

Programs and fixtures are kept for every repeat part, with a first article checked before each batch. A spare made next year fits a machine built this year.

No burrs near the product

Edges are deburred, and stainless parts can be passivated or electropolished, so nothing on the part catches film, cartons, or product.

One order for the whole machine

Metal and plastic parts, machined in our factory and finished through managed partners, packed and labelled by part number.

Batch pricing · 20 pcs and up

Packaging parts cost far less from 20 pieces

Most of the cost of a one-off part is the work before the first chip: drawing review, programming, fixturing, and proving out the first part. On one piece, that piece carries all of it. On 20, it is shared twenty ways. Ask for prices at a few quantities, for example 5, 20, and 50, and we'll quote each one.

  • Setup, programming, and first-article check paid once per batch
  • Change parts made as a full set share one setup
  • Spares reorder from the same program and fixtures
FAQ

Questions from packaging machine builders

Flanges, shafts, bushings, guides, covers, brackets, and change parts, in stainless steel, aluminum, and engineering plastics such as POM, PEEK, nylon, and polycarbonate. Machined parts we have made include a thin-wall 6082 aluminum flange for tobacco machinery.

We machine the grade on your drawing, for example 304 or 316L stainless or a food-contact plastic, and can supply the material supplier's certificate on request; ask when quoting, because availability depends on the supplier. Compliance of the finished machine is defined by your design and your certification. We do not hold food-safety certifications ourselves.

Stainless parts can be passivated or electropolished, and aluminum parts anodized or hard anodized, through managed partners. Parts come back to us for final inspection and packing before they ship.

There is no fixed minimum quantity, but our main work is batches of 20 to 10,000 pieces per part number; prototypes are welcome as the first step toward a batch. From 20 pieces the unit cost drops sharply, because drawing review, programming, and fixturing are shared across the batch. Ask for prices at 5, 20, and 50 pieces and we will quote each one.

Drawing review with manufacturability feedback in the quote, a free first-article inspection report, and our remake guarantee: parts that do not meet your drawing are remade at our cost, with freight paid both ways. We reply by email within 24 hours and on WhatsApp within 12 hours.
