Fish Processing and Seafood Products

FDA-approved materials for conveyor, power transmission, and other applications in fish and seafood processing and production. (NAICS 311710)

Plastics are used in a variety of ways in fish processing applications. They are used as food-grade plastic components, such as gears, bearings, and wear pads, in fish processing equipment. Conveyor belts made from plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are commonly used to transport fish and other seafood products through the processing line. Plastic cutting boards are durable and easy to clean, which helps prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth. Additionally, plastic packaging materials, such as bags, film, and wrap, are commonly used to package and store fish and other seafood products, as they provide a moisture barrier that helps prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.

Fish Processing and Seafood Products Materials Overview

What are plastics used in fish and seafood processing?

Food-grade plastic components: Many fish processing equipment manufacturers use food-grade plastics to create various components for their machines, such as gears, bearings, and wear pads. Food-grade plastics are safe for use in food processing applications, as they are non-toxic and do not contaminate food products.

Conveyor belts: Conveyor belts made from plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are commonly used in fish processing facilities to transport fish and other seafood products through the processing line. Plastic conveyor belts are durable, lightweight, and easy to clean, which makes them an ideal choice for use in seafood processing.

Cutting boards: Plastic cutting boards are often used in fish processing facilities to cut and prepare fish and other seafood products. Plastic cutting boards are durable and easy to clean, which helps prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth.

Packaging materials: Plastic packaging materials can provide a moisture barrier that helps prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of the product.

Plastics for fish processing and seafood products fall under NAICS code #311710 as well as SIC code #2092.
