The UN and various other sources are predicting that the global population will continue to grow until it peaks at over 10 billion in the 2080s. It will continue to put pressure on key things such as food production. As a result, producers will need to up their game. Crucially, they will have to ensure they are using the right equipment. We can help with that, providing flexible services like tube manipulation to make various parts. Notably, we have experience with a long list of materials, including food grade stainless steel, titanium, aluminium, copper, and more.

Safety

Hygiene is one of the most important factors in the food and drink industry. It has a massive impact on safety and quality. Businesses that don’t make it the main priority can have various issues. In the worst cases their products could make consumers ill, resulting in massive penalties and costly recalls. It could lead to irreparable damage to a brand.

There are a number of things to think carefully about here, including employee hygiene and how to ensure they meet the highest standards. At the same time, it is vital to consider the tools and equipment used for food production. The wrong materials could allow bacterial contamination and corrosion. The latter can result in toxic levels of metals and oxides in products. So, they can be harmful to consumers.

A vital material

Using the right materials for food and drink production equipment is vital, whether it is tubing, mixers, storage tanks, filling lines, or anything else. It can address issues with contamination and corrosion. Speak to us about tube manipulation if you need help creating equipment.

Stainless steel stands out and is by far the most popular material here. It has high resistance to corrosion, even in challenging food and drink production settings. Additionally, it has a smooth surface, making it very difficult for bacteria and other contaminants to adhere to it.

One of the best things about stainless steel is there are numerous grades with different properties. Food and drink equipment is generally one of two grades. Grade 304 is the most popular, providing fantastic corrosion resistance, impressive durability, and great performance at various temperatures. Grade 316 features molybdenum for higher corrosion resistance. Both materials are non-porous and easy to sanitise. Notably, 316 can resist regular exposure to harsh cleaning and sanitation products.

Speak to us about tube manipulation and more

Food production facilities can be incredibly complex. It’s important to design them carefully, focusing on safety and efficiency. Using the right materials is essential.

If you are designing a facility and need to create different pipelines to move materials, tube manipulation is a great service. It can adapt the tubing effectively with high precision. Most importantly, it doesn’t have an impact on the material’s properties, so key things like strength and corrosion resistance are unaffected.
