Manufacturers of food processing equipment work within a challenging, competitive industry that’s full of rigid demands. There’s absolutely no room for errors or work that isn’t exceptional, which is why they need premium metal fabrication for the food industry.
Below, we showcase an example of how we excel as food and beverage equipment manufacturers and why you can rely on us to create a fitting solution for your next project.
Westlake Tool & Die has more than 30 years of experience producing high-quality parts and equipment for a wide range of industries, including the food processing industry, and we are proud to create all of our stampings in the USA. Our team and facility have numerous capabilities in metal stamping, welding, and assembly, being able to create diverse products, including those made of food-grade stainless steel.
We’re adept at crafting food processing parts and other components for any sized project, and we work with you to customize the flow of products so that you never run out, reducing the amount of downtime your facility faces.
When one of our long-term customers needed a machining partner to help deliver an innovative – and comprehensive – solution for a client of theirs that worked within the food processing industry, they knew they could rely on us to be their food and beverage equipment manufacturer.
An existing customer with a reputation for manufacturing high-quality conveyor systems was commissioned by a food processing company to create a large conveyor system that quickly and efficiently transports raw materials and food products throughout an expansive facility.
We were tasked to help them create a conveyor system unlike any available. Specifically, we needed to help them address concerns in three main areas:
Projects that require innovation, precision and efficiency at a low cost can prove to be too much for the average shop, but Westlake Tool & Die excels in these scenarios. We immediately knew we could deliver a successful result for two reasons:
Ultimately, the innovative solution we were able to provide was the result of three factors.
This custom solution started where many do, in prototyping. Our expertise in creating real-world prototypes and ability to partner with this customer as though we were an extension of their team gave us the creative freedom to craft a custom, cost-effective food-grade metal part – formed with exceptional tooling and stamped out of high-quality food-grade steel – that made their conveyor system faster.
In fact, the food processing part we created is so successful in speeding up conveyors, it’s since been used in conveyor systems throughout the food processing industry, leading to reduced lead times to market and cost savings. We are passionate about food processing fabrication, so it was fulfilling to see our work create a solution for many organizations!
We were able to deliver cost savings in every area, from prototyping to production.
At the end of the day, it was our years of experience that allowed us to create a custom, industry-changing product. Our existing knowledge base allowed us to understand our customer’s exact needs for a quality food and beverage component and transform a concept into a real-world, comprehensive solution.
This project was one example of our ability to provide customers comprehensive, cost-effective and innovative solutions that help them grow. We were able to use our expertise to see the bigger picture and not just the project at hand. The end result? A satisfied customer with a healthy, growing business and innovation that’s helped transform the entire food processing industry.
The end result? Premium metal stamping for the food industry and a satisfied customer with a healthy, growing business. All of this was brought about through innovation that has helped transform the entire food processing industry.
