Process Industry

Stainless steel pipes and tubes have significant applications in chemical, processing and oil & gas industries. They exhibit superior corrosion resistance, heat resistance and low-temperature properties, and can be used as raw materials that can withstand harsh environments as seen in petroleum, brewery, sugar, refining, and oil & gas industries.

Key Advantages of Stainless Steel in Food Processing Industry

Food Processing

Stainless steel is the perfect material for food processing as it provides excellent corrosion resistance and chemical inertness. It can handle rigorous demands of preparing, processing and storing beverages, dairy, and food products. With its easy cleaning and sterilization properties, stainless steel ensures hygiene and maintains its integrity during fabrication. Various types of stainless steel, such as austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex, are employed in beverage, dairy, and food applications based on their specific corrosion resistance and operational needs.
