Poultry equipment coatings

Poultry equipment — feeders, automatic drinkers, egg collection conveyors, bird transport conveyors, ventilation systems in barns — suffer severe exposure combining: permanent contact with feed and water, poultry excrement (acidic and corrosive), frequent cleaning with alkaline products and disinfectants, mechanical abrasion in 24/7 use, and warm and humid environments that favor biocorrosion. Specialized PU coatings on metal significantly extend equipment service life — against 2-5 years of equipment without adequate protection, equipment with food-grade PU coating can last 10+ years maintaining appearance and performance. Specific wear parts (conveyor rollers, plastic guides in contact with metal) are manufactured in cast elastomeric PU. Significant market in Brazil, one of the largest global producers of poultry and eggs. Large aviaries (such as BRF, Cargill, Seara, Aurora operations) consume substantial volumes of these materials in maintenance and expansion.
