Packaging

Packaging components in food and beverage processing require corrosion- and wear-resistant BÖHLER steels with excellent surface quality and hygiene properties. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and verified surface integrity for safe packaging processes.

Packaging operations in food and beverage processing require materials that ensure product safety, durability, and hygienic performance under continuous industrial use. Components such as forming tools, sealing jaws, cutting elements, and guiding systems are exposed to mechanical stress, friction, and frequent cleaning cycles with aggressive media. Material requirements therefore focus on high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and excellent surface quality. In addition, materials must support hygienic design with smooth, cleanable surfaces to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with food safety regulations.

BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically developed to meet these demanding packaging requirements. Advanced stainless steels, including austenitic, martensitic, and precipitation-hardened grades, as well as wear-resistant tool steels, provide an optimized combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Produced using advanced melting technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure high purity and homogeneous microstructures, which support reliable processing and extended service life. Key quality features include precise control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and validated heat treatment processes to achieve consistent mechanical and surface properties. Comprehensive inspection, including surface integrity verification and hygienic performance testing, ensures compliance with industry standards. BÖHLER materials enable efficient, safe, and long-lasting packaging solutions in food processing environments.
