Built for Demanding Food Processing Environments
At OmniCoil Spring Works Inc., we manufacture springs and wire forms for food processing equipment operating in environments where moisture, washdown, cleaning processes, temperature changes, repeated cycling, and corrosion exposure can affect component performance.
Spring type, material, dimensions, and configuration can be selected according to the mechanical function and operating environment of the equipment.
Common Operating Requirements
From washdown areas and humid environments to continuously operating processing machinery, OmniCoil manufactures springs and wire forms according to the mechanical and environmental requirements of food processing equipment.
Food Processing Equipment Applications
OmniCoil Spring Works Inc. manufactures springs and wire forms used across food processing, handling, conveying, packaging, and related production equipment. Each application can require a different spring configuration based on the required movement, force, space, and operating environment.

Spring Types for Food Processing Equipment
Different food processing mechanisms require different types of force, movement, and installation configurations. OmniCoil Spring Works Inc. manufactures a broad range of spring types and wire forms for processing, conveying, packaging, handling, and equipment support applications.
Compression
Used where controlled resistance, load support, or return force is required in conveyor mechanisms, packaging equipment, filling systems, processing machinery, and equipment assemblies.
Food processing applications:
Conveyor mechanisms • Filling equipment • Packaging machinery • Guides • Retaining assemblies • Return mechanisms
Double Torsion
Used where balanced rotational force and synchronized movement are required across dual-pivot mechanisms, hinged covers, gates, and other food processing equipment assemblies.
Food processing applications:
Dual-pivot mechanisms • Hinged covers • Gates • Latching systems • Synchronized assemblies
Extension
Used where controlled tension and pulling force are required in access doors, guards, tensioning systems, return mechanisms, latches, and moving equipment assemblies.
Food processing applications:
Tensioning systems • Access doors • Guards • Latches • Return mechanisms • Equipment assemblies
Custom/Special
Used when equipment requires a specific spring geometry, force characteristic, configuration, or installation requirement that is not suited to a standard spring design.
Food processing applications:
Specialized processing equipment • Packaging mechanisms • Compact assemblies • Equipment-specific mechanisms
Materials for Food Processing Equipment
Material selection is particularly important for food processing equipment because springs and wire forms may be exposed to moisture, washdown, cleaning chemicals, sanitizing agents, temperature changes, and repeated mechanical cycling. Stainless steels are widely used in food-processing environments, with 302 and 316 being common choices depending on the application and corrosion exposure.
At OmniCoil Spring Works Inc., material selection can be based on the spring's mechanical requirements as well as the environment in which the component will operate.
Music Wire
Selected for its high tensile strength, consistency, and cost-effective performance where corrosion resistance is not the primary requirement. In food processing equipment, Music Wire can be used in protected or enclosed mechanisms where exposure to moisture and cleaning chemicals is limited.
Best suited for:
Enclosed mechanisms • Packaging equipment • Dry processing equipment • General-purpose assemblies • Protected spring applications
Consideration:
For exposed washdown areas or applications subject to moisture and cleaning chemicals, a corrosion-resistant material may be more appropriate.
Food Processing Spring & Wire Form Considerations
For food processing equipment, selecting the right spring involves more than matching the required force. OmniCoil Spring Works Inc. considers the spring's mechanical function together with the equipment's operating environment, installation space, material requirements, and expected service conditions.
01
Washdown & Cleaning Exposure
Food processing machinery may undergo frequent washdown using water, detergents, sanitizers, and other cleaning solutions. These conditions can make corrosion resistance an important consideration for exposed springs and wire forms.
03
Repeated Mechanical Cycling
Packaging, conveying, filling, cutting, and processing equipment can repeatedly cycle springs throughout production. Spring configuration and material need to support the required movement and loading conditions.
05
Compact Mechanisms
Processing and packaging equipment can have limited installation space. Where conventional configurations are unsuitable, conical compression, ring, volute, and specialty springs may provide alternative configurations.
02
Corrosion & Chloride Exposure
Salt-containing foods, cleaning chemicals, and chlorinated sanitizers can create challenging corrosion conditions. Stainless steel grade selection should therefore reflect the actual processing and cleaning environment rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all material choice.
04
Equipment Temperature
Food processing machinery can operate under ambient, chilled, heated, or changing temperature conditions. The operating temperature should be considered when selecting materials and determining the required spring characteristics.
