Superior customer service
Tired of getting the run-around from other spring manufacturers, this 100-year old company — known for its innovative engineering and design — needed a reliable spring manufacturer to form a high quality, food-safe, spring/auger with high levels of precision.
We deliver on our promises. And thanks to our food-safe spring coating options, our spring greatly reduced the amount of labor needed to clean and maintain the equipment. With the addition of Tennessee Spring and Metal food-safe springs, the client was able to rely on precision automation of food product movement.
FDA compliant
The FDA’s Food Code states that “materials that are used in the construction of UTENSILS and FOOD-CONTACT SURFACES of EQUIPMENT may not allow the migration of deleterious substances or impart colors, odors, or tastes to FOOD.”
That translates to: if springs come in contact with food, they need to be food-safe and easy to clean.
The FDA goes on the mandate that such materials also need to be:
Safe;
Durable, corrosion-resistant, and nonabsorbent;
Sufficient in weight and thickness to withstand repeated washing;
Finished to have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface; and
Resistant to pitting, chipping, crazing, scratching, scoring, etc.
All of these requirements must be met for a metal to be considered “food-safe.”
We have you covered. Safely. Better quality, improved sanitation, easier maintenance — we call that a spring win.
