Food Processing with MetSource
Food Processing equipment manufacturers demand intricate shaping, fine surface finish and high alloys to meet Industry standards. MetSource has supplied numerous products to Food Processing manufacturers for years including bushings, centrifuge bowls, mixing impellers, forming dies and wear components.
A very common application in Food processing is the conversion of a fabricated assembly into a single piece investment casting. Please contact us if you wish to discuss a possible component for conversion.

Conversion Assistance
Do you have a complicated machined hog-out or fabrication that may lend itself to conversion to an alternate process? Many of MetSource’s success stories are centered around converting a product from one process or multiple processes to a streamlined manufacturing process that improves the product Quality, Cost and / or Lead-time.
Material Process Selection
Do you have a part design but want a Solutions expert to advise optimal process to produce your part? Subtle changes in part design can optimize process manufacturability to reduce cost, increase part quality and / or increase throughput.
Metallurgical Assistance
Do you want to speak to a Metallurgist regarding a part and environment to help with material selection? Alloy selection can greatly affect overall cost and part manufacturability.
