Food And Beverage Processing
Floors that are washed down every shift, drainage that is inspected, and grating that has to come up by hand for cleaning.
Where It Goes Wrong
- Galvanized covers stripped by cleaning chemicals within a season
- Weld fillets holding product residue and failing a hygiene inspection
- Channel panels too long and too heavy for the cleaning team to lift every shift
- Stainless panels rusting at the joints because they were never passivated after fabrication
- Floor channels cut into a slab that leaves almost no depth for the grating
What These Buyers Ask For
- Stainless steel with acid passivation applied after all cutting and welding
- Panels sized to what one person can lift wet
- Press locked joints with no weld fillet for residue to sit in
- Shallow sections that still carry load where the slab limits depth
- Matching stainless frames, clips and hold-downs so nothing mixes metals
