FOOD PROCESSING
The food processing sector relies on durable, hygienic and corrosion-resistant metals to manufacture equipment, machinery and infrastructure that ensure both food safety and efficient production. Our products are essential in various stages of food processing, from raw ingredient handling to packaging and storage, contributing to a smooth and reliable operation.
​
The food processing environment is often characterised by high levels of moisture, temperature fluctuations and exposure to various chemicals. As such, it’s critical that equipment and machinery are made from metals that can withstand these challenging conditions without compromising hygiene or functionality. P&P Bornmore Metals specialises in supplying stainless steel, which is widely used in food processing due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning.
​
For example, we provided stainless steel bars for the manufacture of conveyor belts in a large food processing facility. Stainless steel’s resistance to rust and staining made it the ideal material for this application, ensuring that the conveyor system would remain hygienic and durable under constant exposure to food particles, water and cleaning agents. Additionally, the metal’s strength and non-reactive properties ensured that it would not contaminate the food products being processed.
​
We also supplied stainless steel sheets to a food manufacturer producing custom food preparation tables. The smooth, easy-to-clean surface of stainless steel ensures that food is prepared in a safe and sanitary environment, reducing the risk of contamination. The material’s durability also made it well-suited for heavy-duty use, ensuring the tables would withstand daily wear and tear in a fast-paced processing facility.

Hygienic Materials for Food Storage and Packaging
The food processing industry places great emphasis on hygiene, particularly when it comes to food storage and packaging. P&P Bornmore Metals supplies materials that are not only durable but also comply with hygiene regulations and standards. We provide high-quality stainless steel and aluminium alloys that can be used to fabricate storage tanks, refrigeration units and food packaging machinery.
For a recent project, we provided aluminium sheets for the construction of refrigeration units in a large-scale food processing plant. Aluminium’s lightweight nature and corrosion resistance made it the ideal choice for ensuring the longevity of the units while also maintaining the temperature and integrity of the food products inside. Additionally, we supplied stainless steel for fabricating food storage tanks used to hold liquids such as oils, sauces, and beverages. Stainless steel’s resistance to bacteria buildup and its non-reactive nature ensured that the storage tanks remained hygienic and safe for food use.

Custom Solutions for Specialist Food Processing Needs
Every food processing facility has its own unique requirements depending on the types of food products being processed. At P&P Bornmore Metals, we understand that flexibility is key, which is why we offer customized metal products to meet specific needs. Whether it’s creating specialist parts for machines, producing metal structures for handling ingredients, or fabricating components for packaging lines, we work closely with our customers to deliver tailored solutions that meet their exact specifications.
​
For example, we supplied custom-cut stainless steel plates for a food processing company that needed to upgrade its meat slicing machine. The stainless steel plates were cut to the required size and finished with a smooth surface to prevent food contamination and ensure easy cleaning. This customisation allowed the company to continue processing meat products in a sanitary and efficient manner.
​
In food processing, downtime can lead to costly disruptions and delays. That’s why it’s important to have a reliable supplier who can quickly deliver the materials needed to keep production running smoothly. P&P Bornmore Metals maintains a large inventory of metal bars, sheets and alloys ready for immediate dispatch, ensuring that food processing plants can rely on timely deliveries without interruption.
​
Whether it's providing stainless steel for the next production run of food preparation equipment or ensuring the availability of aluminium for a custom food packaging project, we are committed to providing fast, reliable service to support the ongoing needs of our food processing customers.
