CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP), the leading global supplier of high-performance thermoplastic materials, will be exhibiting at PACK EXPO International 2018 this October. Quadrant's experts will be at the show to showcase their innovative thermoplastic solutions for the Food Processing, Packaging, and Conveyance Industries.
PACK EXPO 2018 attracts professionals from all segments of the global food and beverage industry who are in search of processing and packaging solutions. This includes individuals in engineering, operations, maintenance, production, R&D, quality assurance, marketing, sales, and corporate management.
Environmentally sensitive and highly regulated, the food production and packaging sectors require specific solutions. Quadrant's portfolio of materials developed for food contact, including a comprehensive "Food Grade" family, aim to reduce maintenance costs and increase productivity while keeping consumer and employee safety at the forefront.
Quadrant's food compliant materials—FDA, CFIA, NSF, USDA, 3A-SSI, and EU STD certified—provide improved productivity and product lifetime through reduced friction and wear. Self-lubricating formulations lower maintenance costs and lower the risk of lubrication contamination.
Quadrant's 3-WAY detectable plastics portfolio includes a core group of compliant materials designed to increase up-time and throughput in today's food handling, manipulation, and processing environments. These materials are blue in color, X-ray detectable, metal detectable, and visually detectable. Durable and stable, field tests prove Quadrant materials have superior performance in extreme environments.
"As food safety regulations and stringent government guidelines continue to increase in importance, so does keeping foreign material out of food ingredients," says Paul Canacas, Quadrant EPP Global Market Segment Manager. "Plastics are becoming more prevalent in the food industry, which is why it is crucial to have materials that are detectable with a variety of systems. As manufacturing environments and detection technologies vary from company to company, we must adjust accordingly with even more material detectability capabilities."
