Special-shaped Copper Extrusions for Food and Beverage
Material
• Pure Copper (C11000): Due to its high electric as well as thermal conductibility, pure copper supports high-performance operation in refrigerants as well as food heating devices.
• Copper Alloys (CuNi, CuZn): The copper alloys with improved resistance to corrosion are also common in those parts which are in contact with moisture, acids, and corrosive substances in food and drink industries.
Specifications
• Custom Shapes and Profiles: Engineered according to requirements, i.e., rounded, squared, as well as more complex shapes that are utilized in heating as well as cooling.
• Tolerance Range: The default tolerance is ±0.2mm, which is suitable in food processing machinery.
• Surface Finish: Available with smooth, polished, or brushed finishes to reduce friction, improve efficiency, and prevent contamination.
Production Processes
1. Material Preparation: The pure copper or alloyed copper is selected according to a stipulated requirement, i.e., conductive quality or resistance towards corrosion.
2. Extrusion: The copper is melted and pressed through specialized dies that create specialized shapes appropriate for food-grade application.
3. Post-Extrusion Processing: The extrusions are trimmed into accurate dimensions, and other treatments such as coating, heat treatment, or bending can be given to enhance durability as well as performance.
4. Surface Treatment: Polishing is also a means of enhancing aesthetic quality as a means towards functional life in food and drink.
Quality Test and Inspection
• Dimensional Verification: Every single extrusion is dimensionally inspected in order to meet stringent fit and functionality requirements.
• Corrosion Testing: The copper extrusions are also tested in terms of resistance in humid, acidic as well as alkali food and drink application areas.
• Hygiene Standards: The foodgrade requirements as also food processing hygiene requirements are satisfied in food preparation areas with its foodgrade requirements.
Key Features
• Hygienic Properties: The antibacterial properties that are inborn in copper are ideal in making copper suitable for food application.
• High Conductivity: Facilitates efficient heat transfer as well as thermal management, essential in heating as in refrigeration.
• Corrosion Resistance: Exaggerated resistance to corrosion with a tough quality that is in humid or acidic environments.
Industry Applications
• Refrigeration Systems: In cool coils, heat exchangers, and compressors.
• Food Processing Equipment: In conveyors, heating plates, as also in heat-controlled processing units.
• Water Treatment: Applied in filter units where pure, secure operation is essential.
Packaging and Storage
The copper extrusions are securely packed to prevent damage during transport. They are stored in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent oxidation and preserve the material’s quality.
