FOOD GRADE AMALGON ® (FGA)
for Direct Food Contact Applications
The Alternative to Stainless Steel
Food Grade Amalgon tubing is a fiber reinforced thermoset composite material specifically designed for use as a replacement for stainless steel tubing in direct food contact applications. The ultra-smooth interior surface finish of 15 Ra is ideal for any food service application. These materials are impervious to caustic cleaning solutions and can be sanitized using conventional cleaning methods. The composite material is 75% lower in weight than stainless steel and is easy to machine.
- Composite ID is Superior to Honed Stainless Steel. Lead times are always less than those required for metal structures because of the self-lubricating, honed like ID is achieved without honing. Food Grade Amalgon eliminates bacterial buildup and is impervious to caustic cleaning solutions.
- Wide Range of Lengths. FGA tubing is sold in cut pieces or lengths up to 120", therefore eliminating the need for costly joints and labor intensive assembly.
- In-House Tooling Affords Greater Versatility. Tooling for FGA tubing is available for diameters of 1"ID to 30"ID, as well as metric sizes. Wall thickness can be varied to meet pressure requirements or component geometry.
- More cost Effective than Stainless Steel. FGA offers savings from 25% to 50% over honed stainless steel. FGA's use reduces material expenditures, handling, assembly time and shipping costs.
- Complies with FDA Requirements. FGA tubing is manufactured for direct food contact in accordance with FDA Code of Regulations Publication CFR 21, paragraphs 173.300 and 177.2450.
Food Grade Amalgon tubing is designed, engineered and manufactured to meet the tough environmental and performance requirements of the food processing industry.
