Spiratex supports the food industry with custom plastic extrusion solutions designed for hygienic handling, consistent performance, and long-term reliability in food processing and packaging environments. Components are developed to support product movement, reduce wear, and align with the operational and cleanliness requirements of modern food facilities.

Key Products for Food Industry Applications

UHMWPE Guiderails & Chain Tracks
Low-friction components used in conveyor systems to support smooth product movement and reduce wear in packaging and processing lines.

Roller Covers (Polyurethane & UHMWPE)
Designed to protect conveyed products, support consistent handling, and reduce direct contact with metal surfaces.

Custom Tubing Solutions
Layflat, reinforced, and spiral wrap tubing used for cable protection, routing, and material handling within food processing environments.

Screw Conveyor Flight Edging
UHMWPE edging components used to support bulk material movement and reduce wear in screw conveyor systems.

Custom Profiles & Chuting
Extruded components designed to guide products during transfer while maintaining alignment and consistent flow.

Food-Grade Tubing Options
Materials selected to meet applicable regulatory requirements for food contact where required by the application.

Materials Expertise

Material selection plays a critical role in food processing environments, where hygiene, durability, and compatibility with cleaning processes are essential.

Spiratex works with a range of thermoplastics commonly used in food-related applications:

• UHMWPE: Widely used for wear-resistant, low-friction components in conveyor systems
• Polyurethane (TPU): Flexible and abrasion-resistant for dynamic applications such as tubing and roller covers
• Polypropylene & PVC: Used where chemical resistance and process compatibility are required
• Nylon (Polyamide): Suitable for structural and load-bearing applications
• Polycarbonate & Other Engineered Plastics: Selected for strength and impact resistance in specific use cases

Material selection is based on application requirements, including contact conditions, cleaning processes, and operating environment.
