Hard materials for maximum efficiencyIf you work in the food industry or develop machines and systems for this sector, Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT is your partner of choice for tailor-made carbide solutions. Our portfolio offers a premium solution for every application, usually made of cemented carbide, the leading material when your focus is on wear resistance, toughness and long tool life.

Our carbide grades are certified to be entirely non-hazardous for use with food: this has been confirmed by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a worldwide acknowledged authority monitoring food and other products. FDA-certified grades represent a clear advantage for your production as you enjoy safety at all times. Although they contain nickel and cobalt, the ablation rates of these materials are negligible thanks to the metallurgical properties of cemented carbide. Hygienic food combined with a customer-specific carbide solution – that is how it should be, and that is what you get from Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT.

As every single product is exactly tailored to the application and machine, it is in principle possible for any needs in the food industry to be met. Our products have already convinced customers in numerous application areas, for example cocoa beaters, paddles, nozzles, crushing machine components and milling segments for brewer’s grains, kneaders for extruders (screw and polygon elements), water-jet nozzles for the cutting of food and plungers for high-pressure pasteurisation – all methods of direct food processing.

In some other applications composite parts consisting of carbide and steel are preferable. Also possible are ceramic solutions. These are often used when high temperatures are important for your production or when chemical resistance is required.

Whichever hard material is the right one for you, your CERATIZIT contact will give you intensive advice regarding the material at any time. Just describe your situation, and we will help you find the best solution for your application. In fact, an individual solution comes about well before your component is made.

Maximum possibilitiesHere is a selection of various practical solutions which you can use as a reference. Obviously this is only a part of the entire range: together with our business partners we are always developing new products and applications. Just contact us and we will help you find the best possible solution for your challenge!

Good with cocoaFor cocoa processing you can order various cocoa crusher blades so that your milling processes work flawlessly.

Large cocoa crushers are used in cocoa shelling machines. When the shell is broken, the kernel is released and can be separated from the shell fragments by means of a sieving system. Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT offers all sizes and weights to meet your needs, and even close tolerances can be reliably observed. Enormous forces released during the processes are no problem for CERATIZIT crushers which are positioned with perfect precision. This avoids undesirable imbalances ensuring flawless processes as well as best production results.

Furthermore we offer rotor pins for milling and shredding. These pins are mainly responsible for reducing cocoa beans to the desired granular size, while rotor and stator pins guarantee optimal mixing.

Numerous types are available, varying not only in design (which is always worked out in keeping with the customer’s specifications) but also in terms of the mounting method. This depends largely on the function of the pins. Some have a classic screw fit, others are mounted using a press fit necessary in some cases to ensure stability and a tight seal (so as to separate the cooling medium and cocoa mass).

Typical rotor pins are: Solid carbide pin with stop Solid carbide pin with thread Carbide pin with brazed stop made of steel Carbide pin with brazed threaded bush

made of steel

Powerful coffee processing Our carbide solutions are also suitable for use in coffee production: we supply coffee milling disks for industrial espresso machines, as well as nozzles and chambers for the production of

instant coffee (for instance, for spray drying and agglomeration).

Milestones in milk productionWhere milk is homogenised, carbide and steel-carbide-composite components are never far away.

We can also supply steel bodies plated with carbide and homogenising pins. And our spray nozzles are used by manufacturers of milk powder.

Leading the butchery equipment marketWhen cutting or skinning meat, thin carbide blades are used – for instance in circular saws or as perforated dies in meat grinders; carbide guiderails for band saws used to divide large pieces also fall in this category.

Meat mincing calls for different, often complex components. These can of course be customised to requirements.

Mixing of jam

Flexible packaging solutionsIn addition to direct food processing, we also offer solutions for the production of packaging. For every processing step we can supply the right tool blank, e.g.:

Z-shaped bars or tool blanks for metal forming to produce drinks cans or food tins

Knives for dividing crisps packets and other articles


www.ceratizit.com

Other productsWhen we consider food as a whole, we also need to take pet food into account. For instance, producers of dog food need food mixers. These are part of the standard range from Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT.

We can also supply pressure rings for high-pressure processing (HPP). For manufacturers of pasta or pellets for animal food we provide perforated dies with high-precision blades.

Companies producing individual decanters to separate solid materials or to clarify liquids can find components which are just as unique as their end products. Typical application fields are the processing of fruit and vegetables for juice, extraction of oils and fat and the filtering of wine and beer.

Our carbide experts are also always creating application-related milling segments for brewer’s grains or kneaders used in extruders (screws and polygon elements).

Ceramic: the material of choice for high temperaturesIn some cases ceramic is the ideal choice. CERATIZIT has been working with the manufac-turing technology of this hard material for over 25 years, and uses an ultra-modern machine park for production.

You can order blanks as well as finish-ground components for applications where factors like very low density, chemical resistance and low thermal conductivity are crucial. Very high demands in relation to specific strengths and corrosion resistance are also easy to meet, while the resistance to thermal shock is excellent. As ceramic is not electroconductive, it is an ideal insulator.

Of course our silicon nitride grades are also approved by the FDA.

For food technology, we manufacture the following ceramic products amongst others:

Extruder screws Dies Indexable knives Mixers Pumps Valves
