Food Processing

Our Teflon® coating services and refurbishment starts with a careful removal of all food products and the entire original nonstick coating (fig. 1 - part as received). The result is a precisely textured and cleaned surface, providing a foundation to restore the non-stick properties. Orion has perfected the coating removal process with automated machinery that creates the optimum clean, textured metal surface. We prevent over-roughening of the substrate due to excessive grit blasting. This closely controlled procedure maintains the substrate and maximizes the production life of your asset (fig. 2 - cleaned and retextured).

We then apply a premium grade non-stick coating materials to restore the non-stick properties (fig. 3 - first base coat). Orion a licensed applicator of Chemours (formerly Chemours) industrial Teflon® coatings, PPG/Whitford Worldwide and other specialty coating manufacturers. All of the non-stick coatings for food processing we apply comply with FDA regulations in 21 CFR governing components of coatings for direct food contact when applied according to manufactures' instructions. Orion has 50 years of experience with food contact coatings.

The result is a restoration process that maintains the life of our customers' food processing equipment as long as possible. Our surface renewal process and PTFE application provides consistent and predictable service life.
