In meat, fish and poultry processing, fat, proteins and blood quickly adhere to stainless steel. Around welds and on rougher areas in particular, deposits build up that are hard to clean and provide a breeding ground for biofilm.
That is why this sector often applies a stricter roughness requirement than the general EHEDG standard of 0.8 µm. Machine builders and processors need a finish that meets it, without treating the steel with chemicals.
ViwateQ Finishing optimises the topography of the stainless steel, including welds and complex shapes.
Meets the stricter roughness requirement common in meat and fish processing.
Fat and protein get less grip, so less is left behind after production.
A smoother surface cleans faster and lowers the risk of cross-contamination.
The natural oxide layer regenerates and protects the steel during daily wet cleaning.
We finish complete frames as well as individual parts, such as:
Yes. As a stand-alone treatment ViwateQ easily achieves a roughness below 0.8 µm, and also the stricter 0.6 µm common in meat and fish processing. The result depends on the quality of the starting material.
Yes. The process optimises the topography of the entire surface, including welds, transitions and complex geometries.
Certainly. Send us a small test part or offcut. We treat it free of charge so you can assess the finish yourself.
Have your parts finished by ViwateQ service, or bring the technology into your own production with a dedicated cabin. We help you choose the route that fits your volumes.
Tell us which parts you want finished and which roughness you need. An engineer will contact you personally.
