Typical applications

Parts your team can source

From early development to repeat low-volume demand, the manufacturing route is reviewed around the part’s actual duty.

  • Filling and dosing components
  • Conveyor guides and change parts
  • Washdown brackets and sensor mounts
  • Valve and pump components
  • Packaging line tooling
  • Inspection and handling fixtures

Processes

A practical route for each stage

Stainless CNC machining

Fittings, manifolds and wear parts with controlled sealing and contact surfaces.

View process

Sheet metal fabrication

Washdown guards, covers, trays and equipment panels in corrosion-resistant sheet.

View process

Polymer prototypes

Fast guides, nests and handling concepts for line trials and fit checks.

Materials

Materials selected for the working environment

Stainless steel 316

Strong resistance to corrosion and cleaning chemicals for demanding wet environments.

Stainless steel 304

A practical hygienic choice for many frames, guards and non-aggressive environments.

POM / acetal

Low-friction, dimensionally stable material often used for guides and moving equipment parts.

Food-contact polymers

Available grades depend on the exact temperature, product contact and regulatory requirement.

Design considerations

What to define before manufacture

01

Cleanable geometry

Avoid inaccessible crevices, trapped volumes and unnecessary sharp internal corners where residue can collect.

02

Surface finish

Call out product-contact faces, polishing direction and the roughness needed for cleaning and product release.

03

Declare the contact duty

Tell engineering the food type, temperature, cleaning chemicals and contact duration so material suitability can be reviewed.

‘Food grade’ depends on the specific material grade, finish, contact conditions and documentation. Modulabs does not assume compliance from a material name alone.

Food-grade CNC machining

Send the part, drawing and production requirements for engineering review.
