Packaging & Food Processing Machinery
Format parts, wear parts and replacements for packaging and food processing lines, quoted from your print.
Packaging and food processing machinery parts are change parts, star wheels, timing screws, guide rails, wear strips, pucks, grippers, and pushers that OEMs, line integrators, and plant maintenance teams order per format or per changeover, in ones and tens. 304 or 316 stainless, UHMW, acetal, and aluminum are the usual materials, held to ±0.005 in and tighter on indexing and bearing features. Send a PDF, a STEP file, or a new sample part for a quote in 24-48 hours; parts ship Rush 1-2 weeks, Standard 4-6, or Extended 6-8 weeks.

What We Make
Packaging and food processing lines run on format and wear parts that take abuse and still index to the thousandth: star wheels and timing screws, change parts for a new bottle or carton size, guide rails and wear strips, pucks and grippers, and the bracket or manifold that holds it all together. Send a drawing, a STEP file, or a new sample part, and the team will quote it, get it made, inspect it against your print, and ship it so the line keeps running.
Typical parts
- Change and format parts
- Star wheels and timing screws
- Guide rails and wear strips
- Pucks, grippers, and pushers
- Reverse-engineered replacement parts
How It Works
Quote, make,
inspect, ship.
Make
Approve the quote and we’ll get your parts made, and keep you posted along the way.
Inspect
The team reviews every part against your print before anything ships.
Ship
Your parts ship to you with tracking. If a part doesn’t match the print, it’s remade or credited.
Questions
Before you send a job.
01 Can you make a replacement format part with no drawing?
Yes. A new sample part, with any drawing you have, can be measured and quoted. Send a new part, not the worn one. Wear changes the sizes that matter. If no drawing exists, reverse engineering captures the geometry from the sample so the replacement matches. The sample ships back with the parts. This is a common way to get a discontinued change part back on the line.
02 What materials are used for food-contact and washdown parts?
The grades usually specified for these lines are 304 and 316 stainless, UHMW, and acetal (Delrin), with aluminum for non-contact structure. Note the grade and any food-contact or washdown requirement on your drawing and it is quoted and made as drawn to that spec.
03 How fast can a part ship if a line is down?
Quotes come back in 24-48 hours. Rush jobs can ship in 1-2 weeks, standard lead time is 4-6 weeks, and extended is 6-8 weeks when timing is flexible. Flag a down-line situation when you send the files and it gets prioritized accordingly.
04 Do you make timing screws and star wheels?
Yes. Timing screws (augers), star wheels, and change parts are quoted from your model or drawing, with the indexing and pitch features called out on the print. Every part is inspected against your print before it ships. Send the pitch, bottle or carton dimensions, and shaft detail and it gets quoted as drawn.
05 Is this the right page for general machinery parts?
For packaging and food processing equipment, yes. If you build machines more broadly, the custom machinery page fits machine and equipment builders, and industrial equipment covers heavy-duty replacement and wear parts. All quote the same way, in 24-48 hours.
