Precision Machine & Manufacturing Expands Capabilities to Produce Heavy-Duty, High-Volume and Extremely Durable Food Grade Screw Conveyors for Sanitary Bulk Material Handling Applications
Eugene, OR – Precision Machine & Manufacturing, Inc. (PMM) — a leading U.S. manufacturer of abrasion-resistant, high-volume, and highly durable bulk material handling equipment announced the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities to include food grade screw conveyor production. This strategic investment enables PMM to support sanitary processing applications across the food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pet food industries.
The capability expansion builds on PMM’s decades-long reputation for designing and manufacturing application-specific equipment for high-wear, high-volume environments. With the addition of food-grade fabrication, PMM now supports processors who require strict sanitation, regulatory compliance, and uncompromising durability—delivering food grade screw conveyors engineered to meet both performance and hygiene demands.
“Our investment in food-grade manufacturing processes and equipment allows us to deliver screw conveyors and troughs that meet strict hygiene requirements without compromising durability or performance,” said Don Lindsey, CEO & President of Precision Machine & Manufacturing. “We believe PMM can fill a very specific niche in the industry by providing a higher level of quality, while also maintaining compliance that both the FDA and USDA would sign off on.”
Enhanced Manufacturing Capabilities for Sanitary Applications, including:
- Stainless steel fabrication expertise, including 304 and 316 alloys.
- Continuous, high-quality welds and polished internal surfaces to reduce material buildup and eliminate harborage points.
- Dedicated sanitary welding and finishing processes for improved cleanability.
- Fabrication practices designed around sanitary compliance requirements.
- Specialized assembly area and dedicated equipment to prevent cross-contamination during production.
Engineering Flexibility for Diverse Processing Needs, including:
- Conveying powders, grains, dry ingredients, flavorings, and other sensitive materials
- Horizontal, inclined, or vertical screw conveyor configurations
- Quick-disassembly and easy-access designs to reduce sanitation and washdown times
- Custom inlet, outlet, and trough configurations to match existing systems
“The real advantage for our customers is the combination of sanitary manufacturing practices with PMM’s long-standing expertise in material handling,” added Don Lindsey. “We’re not just building food-grade conveyors—we’re engineering solutions that fit seamlessly into each customer’s specific material handling process and perform at a higher level.”
