Leading manufacturers of food and beverage cables
One of the biggest challenges in the food and beverage industry is improving efficiency as much as possible whilst also maintaining food contact standards for public health and safety. All electrical equipment, including cables, must be designed to avoid the accumulation of bacteria on the surface, and at the same time, this equipment must work together seamlessly to ensure all components in the production line perform optimally.
Plus, each component must be designed to withstand considerable thermal, physical and chemical pressures. Cables and other equipment will be subjected to extreme temperature changes, damp conditions and frequent cleaning with harsh chemical substances, all to maintain food quality and hygiene standards. As a result, each piece of equipment needs to be manufactured according to the strictest industry standards and tested thoroughly before use.
These standards are closely adhered to here at Custom Designed Cables, as shown by our ISO 9001:2015, UL & CSA approvals. In addition to manufacturing cable solutions according to these certifications, we also design and manufacture custom cables for a wide variety of industries, including the food and beverage industry. So whether you need a pre-existing cable type or need us to design a custom cable to suit your unique needs, we can manufacture high-quality cables for the food and beverage industry that meet all necessary quality and hygiene standards.

Uses for Food and Beverage Cables
Cables are required for electrical equipment in all areas of the food and beverage industry, which means there are many different cable types and applications to be aware of. Each cable must be designed with a particular use and location in mind, such as:
- Dairy processing
- Confectionery and baked goods production
- Meat and fish processing
- Bottling
- Packaging
- Transportation
For each application, different cables and standards are required. Let’s take a closer look at the varying uses of food and beverage cables within this industry.
Processing, bottling and packaging
Throughout the production and packaging process, cables are needed to power production line equipment. These cables must be capable of withstanding the temperature fluctuations and exposure to chemical cleaning agents in food production facilities.
Production line automation
During food and packaging production, automation cables are needed to connect electrical equipment and enable production lines to move seamlessly and efficiently. These automation cables carry signals between production line equipment to control operating speeds and start and stop production when needed, allowing essential cleaning to take place during operational downtime.
Cleaning and sanitisation
In addition to having cables to operate the cleaning equipment, the right kinds of cables are needed on the production line to ensure they can withstand the fluctuating temperatures, water pressure and exposure to harsh chemicals. This means that cables for the food and beverage industry need to have a strong construction with non-permeable outer sheathing. For example, polyurethane (PUR) sheathing can be used instead of PVC as the cable jacket material to protect against these environmental stressors.
Cold storage
As well as being used on the production line, cables for the food and beverage industry will also need to be designed for use within cold storage environments. These cables will need to withstand extreme temperatures without experiencing any impact on their performance, which means you need high-quality and robust cable construction for these locations.
