Precision Manufacturing Meets Advanced Surface Engineering for Food & Beverage Performance
At Fisher Barton, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance components for the food and beverage processing industry—where durability, hygiene, and reliability are critical. Our vertically integrated capabilities include precision machining of stainless steel and specialty alloys, coupled with advanced engineered coating solutions developed by our Thermal Spray Technologies (TST) division. These proprietary coatings, including FluxFuse® and FUSIONbond®, offer exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and caustic washdowns—outperforming traditional metals in both longevity and hygienic compliance. Whether you’re sourcing mixing blades, conveyor screws, pump seals, or gear components, our solutions are engineered to reduce downtime, extend service life, and meet the industry’s strict standards for cleanability and performance. With hardness ratings up to 1500 Vickers, porosity under 0.5%, and adhesion exceeding 10,000 psi, our coatings and components are built to thrive in abrasive, high-moisture, and chemically aggressive environments.
Conveyor Gear Components
Food processing conveyors are everywhere, serving a multitude of applications. The common denominators? All must run with minimal downtime, less unplanned maintenance, and under increasing pressure to stay productive around the clock. Fisher Barton’s Accurate Specialties bronze gear components help meet these demands. You’ll find them throughout food processing, wherever heavy conveyors need dependable power transmission through heavy-duty gearboxes and other gear-drive systems.

Seals and Shafts
Fisher Barton’s Division, TST Engineered Coatings, produces highly wear and corrosion resistant mechanical face seals for food and pharmaceutical grade pumps. The face seals are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel bodies to provide excellent toughness, and are coated with a smooth, hard, and highly wear and corrosion resistant coating made out of oxide ceramics or carbides. Together these materials combine to provide a superior mechanical seal design that provides extended durability even when pumping highly abrasive and corrosive products.

Gearbox Worm Drives
In many gear reducer applications bronze and steel go hand in glove, with a steel worm gear mating perfectly with a softer bronze spur gear that won’t cause premature wear on its harder steel mate. But not all bronze gears are created alike. An Accurate Specialties spuncast composite gear blank offers many advantages over a conventional bronze gear blank, delivering the strength and durability of a bronze rim, but saving the material costs with cast iron or steel center hubs.
