Material Options

Our standard material options for our extensive catalog of products are as follows:

• Vinyl
• Silicone
• Urethane

These materials offer good wear and oil resistance for creating durable products. In addition to the above plastics and rubbers, we also work with FDA-grade vinyl and silicone to assure safety in products for food service applications.

Customization Opportunities

One area in which Vi-Cas Manufacturing excels within our industry is our capacity for customization. When standard products won’t fulfill the needs of your application, we can help by modifying one of our thousands of products to your specifications, enabling you to achieve the right fit. 

If you need a uniquely shaped cup or one in a non-standard size, our team can accommodate you. Our products come in a variety of materials and thicknesses, and we can adjust the durometer to create a harder or softer part based on your needs for wear resistance and flexibility. We also have bearing and non-bearing options.

Vi-Cas Manufacturing can work with a client’s two- or three-dimensional drawing and extrapolate from that to build a customized solution for your foodservice application. We have the capability to both design and build molds, and we’ve invested half a million dollars in Mazak computer numerical control (CNC) machines to create tight-tolerance parts that will accomplish your company’s goals.

Quality Control

While quality is always a primary focus at Vi-Cas Manufacturing, this is especially true of the products we create for the food service industry. We understand the importance of maintaining product integrity when producing, processing, and packaging food and beverage products, ensuring they’re safe for human consumption.

To that end, Vi-Cas Manufacturing takes quality an extra step, using food-grade materials approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and making sure that there are no particulates. Our products go through sanitization and cleaning processes in addition to special inspections so that all of our food service products will be in compliance with client and industry-specific quality and safety standards.
