Food-safe Steel Springs for Food Service Equipment Manufacturer

Food-safe custom spring manufacturing

When one of the world’s leading Food Service Equipment manufacturers needed high-quality, food-safe steel springs, they turned to Tennessee Spring and Metal. 

We are a reliable supplier of mass-produced food-safe springs. With tested machinery and a highly experienced and dedicated team, we deliver durable springs for the most challenging applications.

For industrial food services systems, foodservice solutions, and foodservice supply purposes, we have the capabilities to produce millions of long-lasting springs. 

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:

  1. Safe;

  2. Durable, corrosion-resistant, and nonabsorbent;

  3. Sufficient in weight and thickness to withstand repeated washing;

  4. Finished to have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface; and

  5. 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.
