Food Applications
Food Applications for rotational molding require experience and knowledge of suitable and safe materials. Cleanliness and proper assembly of smaller parts is also essential to making sure a product used for food applications exceeds FDA standards. Before trusting your rotational molding of parts used for food storage or service to a manufacturer one should make sure these things are understood and implemented. Granger Plastics Company has exceptional understanding and abilities when it comes to all rotational molding applications.
In addition to rotationally molding polyethylene, another rare ability that Granger Plastics demonstrates is the ability to mold heavy wall polypropylene parts. Polypropylene is commonly used in food applications. Many of those who are considered top experts in the Rotational Molding industry stated repeatedly that roto-molding polypropylene could never be done, at any significant level. Granger Plastics not only grasped the challenged, but prevailed and was successfully and consistently able to mold this heavy walled, polypropylene part.
While holding tolerances that are much tighter than industry standards, Granger Plastics molds polypropylene at an unbelievable wall thickness. Our customers have required polypropylene to replace a number of materials over the years, ranging from food grade stainless steel, PE coated tanks amongst others due to the abrasive conditions and harsh environments that food manufacturing and processing are known for. Whether short or long term, these material conversions all garnered substantial financial savings for the customers who made the eductated rotomolding material conversions.
The Food Manufacturing Drum also exemplifies the exemplary abilities Granger Plastics has in building high quality tooling in-house. By utilizing in-house engineers for design work and an in-house metals shop for mold making and repair, Granger is able to increase efficiency and reduce design and tooling costs for new or converted products. Material conversions is a specialty, and Granger Plastics Company is well versed at taking an item manufactured from a lesser quality material and converting the design to one that can be rotationally molded. This commonly yields more durable, longer lasting and less expensive parts. Contact Granger Plastics Company today to find out if rotational molding will work for your product applications.
