Components for Food and Beverage Processing Equipment
Esco Precision manufactures components for food and beverage processing equipment, from washdown conveyors and processing lines to primary and secondary packaging machinery, in 304 and 316 stainless steel and FDA-compliant food-contact polymers, for equipment manufacturers and for the plants that run their machines every shift.
Food processing equipment operates in wet, abrasive, and frequently sanitized conditions. Conveyors, slicers and formers, sorters, weighers, baggers, and case packers all rely on mechanical components that must resist corrosion, clean easily, and hold tolerance through continuous service: shafts and rollers, guides and wear strips, transfer plates, pushers, change parts, and formed stainless hardware.
Esco produces these components to print or from a worn sample, in 304 and 316 stainless and in food-contact-grade polymers such as UHMW, acetal, nylon, and PEEK, with the surface finishes and crevice-free geometry hygienic design requires. Injection molding supports higher-volume polymer parts, and extrusion covers guide and guarding profiles. Esco supplies these parts to food and packaging plants today, and material certifications accompany every order.
Plants hold kitted change-part and wear-part sets per line under an Esco stocking program, with minimum and maximum inventory levels, scheduled releases, and shipment direct to each site.

OEM production supply
For equipment manufacturers
Food processing and packaging machinery manufacturers source machined stainless and polymer components and mechanical sub-assemblies from Esco under blanket orders with scheduled releases, with material certifications and first-article documentation supplied for each new part number.
OEM SolutionsReplacement parts and MRO
For operators and maintenance
Plant maintenance and MRO teams use Esco for replacement wear parts, guides, change parts, and stainless hardware across processing and packaging lines from many machinery builders. Parts are manufactured to a documented specification, stocked per plant, and are not represented as OEM parts.
Replacement Parts & MROOperational challenges these components address
- Line stoppages caused by worn guides, change parts, and transfer components
- OEM replacement parts quoted in weeks for lines that run daily
- Material and finish requirements that generic suppliers get wrong
- Multiple plants holding inconsistent spares inventories
- Legacy processing equipment with limited parts support
Why source from Esco Precision
Esco supplies food and packaging customers today with the stainless grades, food-contact polymers, finishes, and material certifications that hygienic equipment demands, under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Multi-process manufacturing and per-plant stocking programs consolidate recurring component supply with one accountable source.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make change parts and wear parts for our processing line?
Yes. Send a worn part or a print. Esco reverse-engineers the component, confirms material and finish, runs a first article, and can hold a kitted set per line so repairs and changeovers are never waiting on a part.
Do you work with food-contact materials?
Yes. Esco machines 304 and 316 stainless and food-contact-grade polymers such as UHMW, acetal, nylon, and PEEK, with FDA-compliant grades available, and supplies material certifications with the parts.
Can you stock parts for several plants?
Yes. One program can cover multiple plants, with site-level kitting, minimum and maximum inventory levels, and scheduled releases so each plant holds what it actually uses.
