Corrosion-Resistant Food Tube Filling Machine for Safe and Efficient Packaging | Discus Technology

Food products often contain acidic, salty, or abrasive ingredients that can corrode conventional materials over time. The corrosion - resistant food tube filling machine addresses this challenge with its specialized construction. Constructed primarily from high - grade 316L stainless steel, this machine offers superior resistance to corrosion compared to standard 304 stainless steel. 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides enhanced protection against chloride - induced pitting and crevice corrosion, common in food products like pickles, sauces, and dairy items. The machine's internal components, such as filling nozzles, tubes, and valves, are also made from corrosion - resistant materials. For example, seals and gaskets are crafted from fluorosilicone or EPDM rubber, which withstand exposure to food acids and solvents without degrading. Surface finishes are highly polished to prevent the adhesion of food residues, further reducing the risk of corrosion. Coatings and linings, when necessary, are applied using food - safe, corrosion - inhibiting materials. This robust construction ensures the machine's longevity, reduces maintenance costs associated with rust and corrosion, and most importantly, safeguards the safety and quality of food products by preventing metal contamination.
