When selecting sheet metal parts for food processing equipment, it is essential to ensure both durability in harsh environments and strict hygiene standards. Based on our accumulated knowledge of precision sheet metal processing, we will explain how to select the right materials for each industry and the technical key points for extending the life of the equipment.

Three major selection criteria for food machinery sheet metal

Sheet metal processing that meets hygiene standards requires the following:

• Corrosion resistance: SUS304 and SUS316 are the mainstream, as they are resistant to salt, acid, and alkali.
• Easy to clean: Mirror finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) prevents dirt buildup
• Structural design: Consideration given to radius chamfering with no blind spots and drainage

Common technologies with medical devices

We apply the technology we have cultivated in sheet metal processing for pharmaceutical equipment to food machinery:

1. Laser welded seamless construction
2. Edge burr removal (≤0.1mm) improves cleaning
3. Cleanliness control equivalent to ISO class 8

Key points for improving durability

Our proprietary "double-pass polishing" technology achieves twice the wear resistance of conventional products, which is particularly effective for sterilizers and mixer housings that require continuous operation.

Industry Solutions

【Dairy processing】
To prevent condensation in low-temperature environments, we propose a sheet metal structure with an integrated heat insulating layer, which has been proven to reduce the risk of corrosion caused by internal condensation by 78%.

【bread making equipment】
It uses a hybrid structure of aluminum alloy and stainless steel for high temperature and humidity environments, and features a unique joint design that takes into account differences in thermal expansion rates.

Why choose our sheet metal processing?
