Nonstick surfaces are the unsung heroes of the food and beverage industry. They are truly a modern marvel that we all take for granted. They are relied on for many reasons, including efficiency, cleanliness, maintaining high production standards, and safety. Nonstick coatings are one of the world’s innovative technologies that also reduce waste, improve food safety, and go along with FDA standards. The bottom line is that nonstick surfaces are essential in your food and beverage operation.
Step Back In Teflon Time: A Nonstick History
Nonstick technology dates back to the 20th century and like many innovations, was an accident. A scientist who was experimenting with refrigerants discovered the gas he was using solidified into a slippery surface. Later, called Teflon, this invention was the beginning of modern nonstick cookware. Although not available to everyone until the 1950s, it quickly became a household staple. Throughout the years, it continued to grow and evolve and was used for a variety of applications. Today, nonstick is essential in homes and industries. The expert and knowledgeable Sun Coating Company team has an array of coatings that are the ideal solution for your industry, product, and application.
Take a look at why nonstick coatings are game changers:
Enhances Equipment Performance and Extends Equipment Life
Nonstick coatings, like Chemours Teflon finish, create a slick surface that prevents food from sticking to machinery and cookware. Chemours Teflon®’s industrial coating can be used on multiple services including carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass, and magnesium. Additionally, it can be used on non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber, and plastics. No excessive oils or lubricants are needed, resulting in a healthier food product and a streamlined cooking process. It also extends the life of the equipment.
Reduces Waste and Provides Cost Savings
One of the biggest challenges in the food and beverage industry is product loss from ingredients sticking to everything from pots and pans to conveyor belts. Nonstick coatings prevent this issue; fewer products are wasted. For example, the baking industry benefits greatly, especially when sticky ingredients like caramel and dough are commonly used.
Improves Cleaning and Maintenance
Nonstick coatings make cleaning faster, easier, and more efficient. Since the food doesn’t stick to the coated surfaces, it is easier and quicker to clean. Additionally, less water and cleaning solutions are needed adding to cost savings and environmental benefits.
Ensures FDA Compliance and Food Safety
The food and beverage industry is faced with complying with strict safety regulations. Many FDA compliance coatings are used to meet these non-negotiable food safety requirements. Nonstick coatings withstand high temperatures, resist chemical interactions, and prevent contamination. They are ideal for beverage filling machines, storage tanks, processing equipment, and food-grade containers and packaging. You’ll find nonstick applications on baking trays, frying pans, ice cream scoops, conveyor belts, and mixing equipment.
