PDF Process Development & Fabrication, Inc. supports the food and beverage industry with reliable fabrication, automation, and production solutions built to meet strict sanitary and operational standards. Facilities that process food and drink require equipment that is durable, easy to clean, and built to comply with USDA and FDA requirements. We bring decades of experience and advanced in-house capabilities to support these needs with precision and consistency.
Food manufacturing environments require equipment built from high-grade materials with smooth, cleanable surfaces. PDF Inc. provides custom sheet metal fabrication using stainless steel and other food-safe metals to create components such as ingredient bins, storage hoppers, guards, and platforms. Every weld and cut is handled with precision to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and meet hygiene requirements.
Fabrication services include CNC laser cutting, metal forming, and shearing. Projects are supported from CAD design to final assembly, giving manufacturers reliable solutions for both standard and custom applications.
Consistency is essential for equipment used in food production. Robotic welding systems help achieve clean and uniform welds that reduce crevices where bacteria might accumulate. This approach also supports faster production and allows for tight control over weld quality. Our robotic welding systems stations are used to build frames, supports, and processing equipment with precision that supports sanitation and structural strength.
By automating welding tasks, the company supports higher throughput while reducing the chance of operator variability. This is especially important in projects that involve repeated production of identical components.
We offer custom parts manufacturing services to OEMs and end users within the food and beverage industry. With laser cutting, CNC machining, punching, rolling, and welding all available in-house, we produce a wide range of components from drawings, 3D models, or sample parts. This includes brackets, enclosures, panels, auger housings, and other fabricated parts used in processing, bottling, and packaging.
We support both small and large batch runs and can handle complex assemblies as part of a larger production or repair project. All parts are produced with a focus on durability, cleanliness, and compatibility with food-grade standards.
PDF Inc. goes beyond custom sheet metal fabrication to support system-level integration for conveyors, sorting equipment, and food handling systems. Control panels, PLC programming, and HMI interface setup are part of the company’s offering, helping to reduce downtime and improve production efficiency. These capabilities allow manufacturers to streamline their operations while working with a single supplier for mechanical and electrical buildouts.
Quality and compliance are central to every food and beverage project. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and follow strict documentation and inspection protocols, including CMM inspection when required. Material traceability is tracked to support audits and compliance documentation, and the team is experienced with stainless steel, aluminum, and AR500 applications where needed.
If you are in the food and beverage sector and need custom-fabricated components, welded assemblies, or automation-ready systems, please feel free to contact us and begin a quote or consultation. We serve clients across the Midwest and export to over 15 countries.
