Manufacturing of Food industry components and machines

CAM produces Food industry components and machines that meet the most rigorous hygiene, health, and safety standards. We specialize in the precision mechanical processing of parts intended for process, packaging, and bottling machinery. The food industry requires components that are not only dimensionally perfect but also offer high chemical and mechanical resistance to withstand frequent and aggressive washing cycles.

Our production focuses on manufacturing mechanical components such as gears, shafts, joints, valve bodies, and parts for filling lines. We use specific and certified materials, primarily stainless steels (such as AISI 304 and 316) with surface finishes aimed at preventing bacterial adhesion. Furthermore, we support automatic machine manufacturers by supplying molds and equipment for the thermoforming of food packaging. Thanks to our experience, we can manage lot production ranging from single prototypes to medium-sized supplies.

Certified Hygienic Machining and Finishing

The production of Food industry components and machines requires a methodology that balances high precision and rigorous control of surface contamination.

1. Material Selection and Traceability

The process begins with the selection of materials suitable for food contact and ensuring their complete traceability (MTR). The processing of stainless steels is carried out with optimized cutting strategies to avoid structural alterations that could compromise corrosion resistance. We use our advanced CNC machining centres, including lathes and milling machines, to ensure that tolerances are respected even on large parts or complex geometries.

2. Hygienic Finishing and Cleaning

Surface quality (roughness) is a critical factor in the food industry. We perform processes with a very fine surface finish (polishing or satin finishing) to reduce microporosities where bacteria could lodge. Our capability to perform precision grinding ensures that contact surfaces are extremely smooth. At the end of machining, the mechanical components are subjected to specific cleaning procedures to remove processing residues (such as oils and chips) in compliance with hygiene requirements.

3. Quality and Dimensional Control

In our temperature-controlled metrology room, we verify dimensional accuracy with CNC three-dimensional measuring instruments. This step is crucial to ensure that every component mates perfectly and conforms to technical drawings, which is essential for the efficiency and safety of food production lines.

Partner for Hygiene and Health Compliance

Choosing CAM for your Food industry components and machines means opting for the reliability of an experienced partner who has made precision their standard.

Regulatory Compliance

We have consolidated experience in supplying the food industry and understand the importance of hygiene compliance. Our processing protocols are geared towards meeting specific industry requirements, from the exclusive use of approved lubricants to surface finish management. Our expertise in precision mechanics applied to this sector offers you a guarantee of quality and safety.

Quality Without Contamination

Our meticulousness in machining stainless steels and the care in final cleaning drastically reduce the risks of cross-contamination. The robustness and accuracy of the mechanical components we produce ensure a longer operational life and less machine downtime, improving the efficiency of your production line.

Infrastructure and Flexibility

Thanks to our modern machine park and the integration between the CNC milling and CNC turning departments, we can flexibly respond to both the supply of unique pieces for special machinery and series production. We provide you not only with a part but with a completely verified and traceable high-quality solution.
