Teflon Coating for Food Processing Duluth
Sticky sugars and wet flours can gunk up machines quickly. This can make it really difficult to keep production moving along when these are the products you work with every day. Liquid lubricants are usually not an option when working in the food processing industry as liquid can alter the consistency and flavor of food. Let’s be honest, wet bread is about as enjoyable as a rainy, forty degree June day. Chemours® Teflon® coatings and Whitford coatings are great choices for covering parts used in the commercial processing of food. Coating Solutions will coat any part that is required for food processing machinery in Duluth – that is, any part that can stand up to high cure temperatures.
Items We Typically Coat:

Nonstick Coatings for Food Production Duluth
Fluoropolymer finishings are regularly chosen as the preferred option for coating parts that are used in the food processing. Food doesn’t cling to fluoropolymers as opposed to other materials that are sometimes used in food processing these days. But it has many more uses than just ensuring that whitefish doesn’t stick and burn. The high release of fluoropolymers produces a much more uniformed product when it comes out of molds. Flour doesn’t stick to big hoppers, and dough rollers can operate nonstop. And these are FDA approved coatings, so you know that they are ok for food contact. For the food processing industry, it’s a smart choice to have all parts that will come into contact with food coated with Teflon® or another fluoropolymer coating.
Financial Benefits of Teflon® and Fluoropolymers
The nonstick benefits of fluoropolymers means a higher output as machines are not turned off as regularly in order to remove buildup and scrape and clean. And when cleaning does need to take place, nonstick means that parts coated with fluoropolymers are a piece of cake to clean and are unaffected by strong cleaning chemicals. Less cleaning saves many businesses in Duluth additional cleaning agent usage and labor costs. And even more money can be saved due to the fact that equipment coated with fluoropolymers is usually less expensive than exotic and/or highly polished metals. Teflon® coated equipment also has a much longer life than products made with other material and, therefore, comes with lower maintenance expenses. This is all why covering parts with Teflon® and fluoropolymer coatings is the financially wise choice for many businesses in Duluth.
Heat Resistance of Teflon® Coatings
Teflon® and fluoropolymer coatings are extremely resistant to heat, which makes them great for equipment used food processing. These coatings can function well at continuous temperatures of up to 500°F (260°C), or 600°F at interrupted intervals. And, obviously, they can endure steam cleaning. Everything that is exposed to high heat during food processing, including pipes, valves, gaskets, and pumps can be coated with Teflon® and fluoropolymer coatings so that they can function properly for a longer period of time. The cost-effectiveness of these coatings make them the best selection for companies with food processing equipment.
