Case Studies

Food Processing Equipment Repair — Case Study

Some of the oldest work in the building.

The work

Food processing equipment work goes back to BBC's early years and is still one of the industries we serve. Spiral feed molds, coater rolls and conveyor components all wear where they meet product.

Hard chrome adds a hard, low-friction surface that is both a wear surface and a release surface. Rolls are plated up to 6" × 29" and ground back to diameter in the same building.

Processes involved

  • Hard chrome plating for wear and low friction
  • Cylindrical grinding to finished diameter
  • CNC machining
  • Dynamic balancing
