AB Carlsson & Möller has long experience of applications in the food and biotechnology areas. New EU rules which come into force 1st January 2016 will require improved traceability and EU certified materials. Carlsson & Möller already keep EU-approved materials in stock that meet the EG1935/2004EC requirements for full traceability.
Engineering plastic can withstand strong alkaline chemicals, corrosive acids, steam and hot water (for example disinfection and autoclaving). This makes the plastic very suitable for applications with extremely high hygiene standards. Furthermore our plastic material Ertacetal C, has a surface free from pores, and microscopic cracks. This reduces the risk of dirt and bacteria being trapped in the material, which makes cleaning easier.
The benefits of engineering plastic in the food industry

– Resistant to both high and low temperatures (–200°C to +260°C)
– Withstands UV exposure, steam, strong chemicals and cleaning agents
– High form stability, mechanical strength and wear resistance
– Low friction
