We manufacture stainless steel heads for vessels, tanks and industrial equipment in the food industry, adapted to the drawings, tolerances and finishing requirements of each project.
At Steel Bombe Valley, we combine custom manufacturing, in-house polishing capability and Ra roughness control for equipment where hygiene and ease of cleaning are essential factors.
Heads for tanks and food processing equipment
Equipment used to produce, store or process food and beverages may require suitable surfaces to facilitate cleaning operations and prevent residue build-up.
We manufacture heads for applications including:
- Process tanks.
- Storage tanks.
- Mixing and preparation equipment.
- Tanks for liquids and food products.
- Industrial equipment for food production plants.
We work from the technical documentation provided by engineering companies, metal fabricators and equipment manufacturers, meeting the dimensions, thicknesses, tolerances and specifications of each project.
Sanitary finishes and controlled roughness
The surface finish of stainless steel can be particularly relevant in areas of the equipment that require frequent cleaning.
We have 3 automatic polishing machines for heads and shells, capable of sanitary and mirror polishing on components up to 6,000 mm in diameter.
We can also measure Ra surface roughness using a MITUTOYO roughness tester and document the values obtained when required by the project.
Custom manufacturing to drawings
Each head is manufactured according to the customer's drawings and technical specifications.
Depending on the needs of the tank or equipment, we can assess:
- Head type and geometry.
- Diameter and thickness.
- Material.
- Tolerances.
- Edge preparation and bevelling.
- Surface finish.
- Required Ra roughness.
We can work under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when project technical documentation requires specific protection.
Frequently asked questions
