We manufacture stainless steel heads for tanks, reactors and industrial equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, adapted to the drawings, tolerances and surface finish requirements of each project.
At Steel Bombe Valley, we combine custom manufacturing with in-house polishing capability and Ra roughness control, which is particularly relevant for equipment with high hygiene requirements.
Heads for pharmaceutical tanks and reactors
Manufacturing equipment for pharmaceutical processes requires a high level of control over surface geometry and finish.
We work from the technical documentation supplied by engineering companies, metal fabricators and industrial equipment manufacturers to produce heads for applications including:
- Process tanks.
- Reactors.
- Storage tanks.
- Mixing and preparation equipment.
- Industrial equipment for pharmaceutical facilities.
Each head is manufactured according to the dimensions, thicknesses, tolerances and technical specifications defined for the project.
Sanitary finishes and Ra roughness control
In pharmaceutical applications, the surface finish of stainless steel can be a critical factor in facilitating cleaning processes and reducing areas susceptible to retaining residues or microorganisms.
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 check surface roughness using a MITUTOYO roughness tester and, on request, document the Ra values obtained.
Manufacturing to drawings and project requirements
We manufacture each head following the construction drawings and specifications provided by the customer's technical office.
Depending on the project, we can assess:
- Head geometry and type.
- Diameter and thickness.
- Material.
- Tolerances.
- Edge preparation and bevelling.
- Surface finish.
- Required Ra roughness.
We can work under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when project drawings or documentation require specific protection.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about heads for the pharmaceutical industry
Which finishes can you provide for pharmaceutical applications?
We can provide different finishes depending on the project specifications, including sanitary and mirror polishing on stainless steel.
Can you control the Ra roughness of the head?
Yes. We have a MITUTOYO roughness tester to measure surface roughness and can document the values obtained when required by the project.
What is the largest head you can polish?
Our polishing machinery can handle heads and components up to 6,000 mm in diameter.
Do you manufacture heads from our drawing?
Yes. We work to the drawings, dimensions, tolerances and technical specifications provided by the customer.
Can we send confidential documentation?
Yes. We can work under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect project drawings and technical documentation.
