FDA-approved brushes for the food industry
Within our standard brush range, we can produce bespoke food hygiene brushes suitable for use at various stages of food processing to meet stringent FDA requirements. By using specialist food brush materials, such as silver-plated components and coloured or detectable filaments, we can create custom food-grade strip brushes, to suit a variety of industries and applications.
Widdops currently supplies a variety of food hygiene brushes and food-grade roller brushes for use in food production, processing and manufacturing. These food industry industrial brushes are suitable for use in FDA-controlled environments, including the pharmaceutical industry.
Food-grade roller brushes and bacterial control
The construction of the food-grade roller brushes and the variety of filaments offered can create an environment hostile to a broad spectrum of bacteria, mould and fungi. Silver, for example, when used to plate the food brush holding strip, offers extra protection against bacteria as silver inhibits the growth of damaging microbes. This extra protection on the food-grade strip brush greatly reduces cross-contamination and eliminates odours and potential health hazards caused by bacteria.
Food industry industrial brushes
Along with the use of antimicrobial filament materials, anti-bacterial brushes can be formed into various custom shapes to meet your specific needs, such as food-grade conveyor brushes.
Where necessary, materials can also be used that are resistant to cleaning chemicals and moisture absorption, which in turn inhibits bacterial growth and prolongs the lifespan of the industrial food-grade strip brush, itself.
