Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate achieve food-contact surface finish requirements during CNC machining?

Frigate uses specialized multi-pass milling and controlled-speed polishing to reach Ra values below 0.8 µm on contact surfaces. Toolpaths are optimized to reduce vibration and cutter marks, especially on valves, impellers, and mixers. Post-machining processes like electropolishing and fine abrasive flow machining smooth the surface while minimizing embedded particles. Each wetted part undergoes non-contact profilometry to verify compliance with FDA and EC surface finish guidelines. This method allows Frigate to meet hygiene-driven specifications without manual rework or inconsistent operator input, ensuring all machined components are compatible with CIP and SIP procedures used in modern food processing lines. 

What steps does Frigate take to maintain dimensional stability in high-humidity food plants?

Frigate applies process controls that adapt to environmental changes such as humidity and temperature fluctuations common in washdown zones. Closed-loop thermal compensation adjusts offsets in real time using live data from machine probes and spindle sensors. All stainless steel grades, such as 316L and 17-4 PH, are preconditioned to stabilize grain structure and minimize distortion. After roughing, semi-finish passes allow for controlled stress release before final cuts. This sequence maintains tight tolerances across rotating parts, modular tooling, and pressure-sealed assemblies, even when plant conditions change between wet and dry cycles during daily production. 

How does Frigate qualify materials for food-safety compliance in machining workflows?

Frigate sources and documents all raw materials from certified mills with 3.1 traceability per EN 10204. Materials like 316L, 304, and food-grade plastics (such as UHMW-PE and PTFE) are batch-verified for chemical composition and surface integrity. CNC operations are run on dedicated machines for stainless production, avoiding cross-contamination from other metals. All fluids used in the machining process are FDA-approved and tested for residue. After machining components undergo ultrasonic cleaning and are inspected visually and dimensionally under white-light conditions. These steps ensure all machined parts meet contact safety criteria without introducing contamination risks. 

What documentation does Frigate provide to support hygiene audits and traceability?

Frigate maintains a digital record for each machined food equipment part, including material batch numbers, machine IDs, in-process inspection results, and surface finish reports. Quality plans are linked to the part number, providing auditors with direct access to compliance documents, COC, and final inspection logs. All records are time-stamped and stored in traceable archives compatible with ISO 22000, HACCP, and GFSI frameworks. This traceability extends to surface Ra values, weld maps (if applicable), and coating certifications, helping manufacturers demonstrate hygiene protocol adherence during both internal reviews and third-party audits. 

How does Frigate support wear resistance in high-speed or abrasive food machinery components?

Frigate applies coatings and treatments that improve wear resistance in augers, blade mounts, and contact chutes used in high-speed lines. Low-friction coatings such as ceramic-filled PTFE or FDA-approved PVD layers reduce galling and surface drag. In abrasive applications like flour or sugar handling, Frigate uses hardened stainless or nitrided surfaces to delay degradation. Coated parts are re-machined to meet tolerances after curing to retain proper fit. Each upgrade is validated with coating thickness measurement and adhesion testing, ensuring performance without compromising food safety or cleanability.
