Star wheels
Machined pockets and hub features follow the specified container profile and machine mounting.
Food and beverage equipment
Plastic wear and change parts for your food line.
CDS machines new and replacement plastic parts for food-equipment manufacturers and maintenance teams, including guides, star wheels, scrapers and PTFE valve seats.
The machining request starts with your specified part geometry and material. For an existing part without a reliable drawing, CDS can discuss sample-based replication.

At the working surface
Different jobs on the line need different parts.
Conveying, filling and bottling equipment uses parts with different profiles and mounting features. These component pages describe what CDS can machine and the records needed to quote it.
Guide
UHMW guides and wear strips
Straight or curved profiles with the cross-section, length and mounting details specified for your line.
Remove
Scrapers
Replacement edges and mounting features machined from the customer drawing or established part geometry.
Seal
PTFE valve seats
Seat profiles machined in the specified virgin, glass-filled, carbon-filled or bronze-filled PTFE compound.
Illustrative component functions; the symbols do not depict a complete machine or a CDS project.
For a mixing paddle, fill plate, cutting surface, fitting, pump component, nozzle or connector, submit the customer drawing and specified material so CDS can confirm the machining scope.
Two exposures, one component
Keep the specified material tied to the food-line requirement.
Your engineering and food-safety teams establish the material and intended use. CDS needs the exact grade and required records to quote the specified component.

Contact, movement and load
A sliding guide and a valve seat perform different jobs. The selected grade must address the component's product contact, mechanical duty and operating temperature; a generic resin name cannot confirm those requirements.
Chemistry and exposure
Cleaning can expose a part to chemicals and temperatures different from production. Washdown, CIP or SIP suitability belongs to the customer's material and equipment qualification, including the actual cleaning cycle.
Material specifications and alternatives
UHMW, acetal, PTFE and PEEK differ in wear, movement, chemistry and temperature behavior. The material pages explain these general differences for your engineering team. Specify the required grade and any approved alternatives with the machining request.
For a specified polypropylene liner, cover, spacer or non-load component, CDS can confirm material availability and machining feasibility from the part requirements.
Processing context
Machined parts for different food-processing equipment.
The material callout and required records can differ between food-processing applications, even when the component geometry looks similar.
Dairy processing
For a dairy-equipment part, specify the material and any required 3-A supplier conformance statement. CDS must confirm document availability for the exact grade; the equipment application alone does not establish conformance.
Meat and poultry processing
Replacement guides, cutting surfaces and other components need the specified dimensions and grade for the equipment. CDS reviews those requirements for milling or turning and confirms material availability.
Confectionery
Submit the drawing for a wear, change or detectable-plastic part with the initial and expected repeat quantity. CDS can quote the defined component and confirm the available grade and records.
Material and project evidence
Food contact and detectability need separate confirmation.
Neither a polymer name nor a part's color establishes food-contact status or detector performance. The exact requirement belongs with the exact grade and use conditions.
Food-contact requirements
The governing regulation or customer standard, conditions of use and supporting supplier declaration establish what needs to be checked for the material and application.
Metal or X-ray detection
CDS machines metal-detectable and X-ray-detectable plastic grades. Your inspection process must establish detection performance under its actual line conditions. Review detectable-plastic requirements.
Your hazard analysis, sanitation program, detector validation and regulatory determination remain part of your own application requirements.

Food-industry expertise since 1986
Machining with the documentation your project needs.
For food-equipment work, CDS machines parts in-house under strict quality controls, with full traceability and documentation. Confirm the exact records and delivery requirements for your part in Quality and Documentation.
Review CNC milling and CNC turning against the component's features. Geometry, tolerances and inspection requirements remain specific to the work.
Request machining
Request your specified food-equipment part.
Share the available manufacturing records. CDS reviews machining feasibility and quotation requirements; your team retains responsibility for component design and application qualification.
