Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. provides custom hydraulic cylinders for the food and beverage processing industry, where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and washdown capability are essential. Applications include filling machines, sealing equipment, presses for juice extraction, and conveyor systems. As a national intellectual property advantage enterprise with over 30 years of experience, we design cylinders that comply with FDA and EC 1935/2004 requirements for food contact materials. Our custom cylinders for filling machines must operate with high speed and precision, and they must be easy to clean. We use 316L stainless steel for all external surfaces, with a polished finish to prevent bacterial growth. The seals are made from FDA-approved materials such as EPDM or PTFE. For a German filling machine manufacturer, we supplied custom cylinders for a rotary filler used for beverages. The cylinders have a bore of 40 mm, a stroke of 80 mm, and operate at 100 cycles per minute. They are designed for CIP (clean-in-place) cleaning and have IP69K protection. For juice extraction presses, we provide large custom cylinders that apply high pressure to fruit or vegetable pulp. These cylinders must be resistant to acidic fruit juices. We use stainless steel 304 or 316 for the wetted parts, and we offer a special coating for the rod to resist pitting. For a US-based juice producer, we supplied a custom main cylinder for a 100-ton apple press. The cylinder has a bore of 250 mm and a stroke of 600 mm, operating at 200 bar. It has been in service for over 10 years with no corrosion issues. For food packaging equipment, such as tray sealers and vacuum packers, we provide compact custom cylinders with integrated valves to simplify the machine design. We offer cylinders with sanitary fittings and smooth, crevice-free surfaces. For a Chinese food packaging machinery builder, we supplied custom cylinders for a thermoforming packaging machine. The cylinders have a bore of 32 mm and a stroke of 150 mm, and they use food-grade hydraulic oil. Our manufacturing process for food industry cylinders includes passivation of stainless steel surfaces, surface roughness testing, and functional testing with food-grade fluids. We provide FDA conformity declarations and material certifications. For a custom cylinder for your food and beverage application and a quote, please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your metallurgical hydraulic cylinders suitable for steel mills?

Our metallurgical hydraulic cylinders are specifically engineered for the extreme conditions found in steel mills and foundries. They feature robust construction with thick-walled tubing, heavy-duty rod ends, and high-temperature seals that maintain integrity in ambient temperatures exceeding 200°C. We use induction-hardened, chrome-plated rods for wear resistance, and offer ceramic coatings for applications with extreme abrasion from scale. Corrosion-resistant options are available for water-intensive environments. These cylinders are designed for continuous operation, high shock loads, and long service life in demanding mill applications.
To receive a quote for a custom hydraulic cylinder, please contact our engineering team directly. We will need information such as required bore size, rod diameter, stroke length, mounting style, operating pressure, and any special environmental conditions or features. Our team will work with you to define the specifications, provide engineering drawings for approval, and deliver a comprehensive quote. We offer competitive pricing and lead times based on the complexity of your custom requirements.
Lead times for custom hydraulic systems vary depending on the complexity, size, and specifications of the system. Standard custom cylinders may have lead times of 4 to 8 weeks, while complete custom hydraulic systems or large presses may require 12 to 20 weeks. We work closely with clients to establish realistic schedules and can often provide expedited options for urgent needs. Our manufacturing facility is equipped to handle both rapid prototyping and large-scale production, allowing us to balance speed with quality.
Our servo hydraulic cylinders are ideal for testing applications because they deliver precise, repeatable force and position control with low friction and high stiffness. We offer cylinders with integrated feedback sensors such as LVDTs or magnetostrictive probes, enabling closed-loop control for accurate test results. For high-frequency applications, we provide cylinders with hydrostatic bearings that offer zero friction and infinite wear life. Our cylinders are designed for the dynamic demands of materials testing, fatigue testing, and structural testing, ensuring reliable performance over millions of cycles.

Customer Reviews

Dr. Thomas Schmidt

Our servo hydraulic system requires a custom cylinder with very tight tolerances and low friction. Tianjin Uranus designed a cylinder with precision-ground components and low-friction seals that delivers exceptional performance. The cylinder features integrated LVDT feedback for precise position control. The Uranus team worked closely with us to ensure the cylinder met our dynamic performance requirements. The cylinder has been operating reliably in our servo system for over two years. The engineering and manufacturing quality is top-notch.

Andrew Taylor

We needed a prototype custom hydraulic cylinder quickly for a new machine design. Tianjin Uranus was able to deliver a high-quality custom cylinder in just four weeks. The cylinder features a compact design with integrated manifolds and meets all our performance specifications. The Uranus team was responsive and provided excellent support throughout the process. The prototype has been performing well, and we plan to order production quantities from Uranus. Their ability to deliver custom cylinders quickly without compromising quality is impressive.
