Why is stainless steel important for the food industry?

Stainless steel has four key benefits when used in food processing:

 

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Non-reactive
  • Durable
  • Easy to clean

 

Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion from a range of chemicals such as acids and salts. This makes it perfect for food processing. Stainless steel also boasts a high resistance to general wear and tear which is common in the food industry. Its durable properties mean that machine parts can undergo heavy, constant impacts without wavering in performance. Stainless steel is non-reactive which means that it can prevent the growth of bacteria in the machinery. Using a durable material like stainless steel helps to reduce planned and unplanned downtime of machines, as maintenance time is lower.
