FDA-Ready Mixer Repairs: Reducing Risk While Keeping Production on Schedule

August 18, 20251 min read

In food manufacturing, a mixer failure isn’t just a mechanical problem — it’s a compliance risk. Any repair that doesn’t meet FDA standards could lead to contamination, product recalls, and costly downtime.

Why Compliance Matters in Repairs

Food-grade mixers are subject to strict hygiene requirements. Every wetted part must be:

  • Made from FDA-approved stainless steel (304 or 316)

  • Finished to prevent bacterial growth

Documented for traceability in audits

The Risk of Cutting Corners

Choosing the fastest or cheapest repair option without verifying compliance can jeopardize your entire production line. A small lapse in surface finish or material quality could result in thousands of units being scrapped.

Andy says: “Food safety isn’t negotiable. Every weld, every finish, every surface has to be right.”
