At Lindsay Machine Works, we specialize in food processing metal parts fabrication for commercial food processing plants, food manufacturers, and equipment operators who demand precision, reliability, and sanitation-ready components. From custom-machined replacement parts to short-run production and reverse-engineered components, we help keep food service operations running efficiently and safely.

Using our wide-ranging CNC machining and metal fabrication capabilities, we produce components built to perform in high-volume, high-sanitation environments where accuracy and durability are critical.

Serving the Midwest and across the country, our machine shop partners with food service companies that rely on durable, food-grade metal parts built to exact specifications.

Precision Machining for Food Service & Food Processing Equipment

Food Processing Equipment We Support

Our team fabricates precision metal parts for many types of food service and processing machinery, including:

• Food preparation equipment (mixers, slicers, grinders, cutters)

• Food processing machinery and production lines

• Conveyors and material handling systems

• Packaging, filling, and sealing equipment

• Refrigeration, cooling, and ice machines

• Storage, handling, and support equipment

• Carts, kiosks, and mobile food service units

The final product is always delivered to meet industry standards and client specifications.

Whether you need a single replacement part or a production run of components, our metal fabrication services are built around accuracy, consistency, and performance.

Food-Grade Materials & Quality Standards

For decades, Lindsay Machine Works has produced food service metal parts using materials designed to meet sanitation and durability requirements. We routinely machine components from FDA-grade and food-safe materials, ensuring compatibility with food service environments.

Common materials we machine include:

• Stainless steel (food-grade and corrosion-resistant alloys)

• Aluminum

• Carbon and alloy steels

• Specialty materials used in food processing applications

Every part is manufactured with careful attention to surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability to support cleaning, washdown, and long-term use.

Custom, Replacement & Reverse-Engineered Parts

When equipment goes down, production stops. That's why we offer fast, dependable solutions for food service metal parts fabrication, including:

• Custom-machined components built to print

• Replacement parts for worn or damaged equipment

• Reverse-engineered parts for obsolete or discontinued machinery

• Short-run and production machining

Our experienced machinists work closely with food service operators and manufacturers to ensure each part fits, functions, and performs exactly as required. Manufacturing expertise is essential for producing high-quality, custom solutions that meet the demanding standards of the food processing industry.

Why Choose Lindsay Machine Works for Food Processing Metal Parts Fabrication?

We provide CNC machining services for OEM metal parts fabrication, specializing in short-run production with tight tolerances. Utilizing multi-axis milling centers and CNC lathes, we produce metal components that meet your project specifications with precision and high quality.
