When manufacturing products that will have direct contact with food for human consumption or used in the preparation, storage and cleaning of food and beverage products, it is important to use materials that are compatible and recognized as safe to use. Injection molding is a very efficient and safe manufacturing process when proper materials are utilized.
Working closely with many product designers, our engineering team reviews design for efficient manufacturing, material specifications, tooling design and manufacturing planning.
- Food processing equipment
- Food or Beverage filling and conveyor systems
- Beverage filtering and dispensing
- Food storage and serving
- Kitchen utensils and tools

There are many applications where plastic materials are well suited for use in products for food and beverages. It is important to understand the environments that these products will be used during the life cycle. Will they be exposed to freezing temperatures, high heat, cleaning chemicals, or UV exposure in outdoor products? Will you include additives such as color, fillers or processing aids that need to be food compatible? Does the application require rigid, flexible, soft, smooth or tacky materials? All of these applications require careful consideration, however plastic materials approved for food contact are available to meet all these product demands.
China, especially Ningbo, is an important gathering place for many domestic and foreign food manufacturers, distributors, food service companies and related equipment manufacturers. Ningbo Hyer Molding Co., Ltd. has a long history of active participation in the design, specification and manufacturing processes of many leading OEM products in the food and beverage industry.
We have worked closely with material suppliers in the development and application of a variety of food-grade plastic materials, such as high-performance materials with excellent chemical resistance, glass-like clarity, dishwasher-safe temperatures, and Bisphenol A (BPA)-free. These materials excel in food service applications that would otherwise be dominated by polycarbonate, and are used in a wide range of applications such as food containers, drinking water equipment, and commercial kitchen equipment.
We have the capability to perform high-precision injection molding within extremely tight tolerances and can provide customized solutions combining injection molding and precision machining for critical sealing surfaces. Ningbo Hyer Molding engineering team can provide experienced, professional and reliable technical support for a wide range of application scenarios in the food and beverage industry.
