At Reds Engineering, we understand the particular requirements of the food and beverage industry, together with our proficiency in aluminium fabrication, we guarantee that the equipment you receive is long-lasting, dependable, and safe.
Why Aluminium?
While stainless steel often takes centre stage, aluminium offers several advantages that make it a compelling choice for many food and beverage applications:
• Lightweight: Compared to steel, aluminium boasts a significantly lower weight. This translates to easier handling, reduced strain on support structures, and potentially lower transportation costs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that shields it from corrosion. This is especially important in food production environments where frequent cleaning and sanitization are essential.
• Workability: Aluminium is highly malleable and ductile, allowing for intricate shapes and bends during fabrication. This flexibility enables the creation of custom equipment precisely tailored to your specific needs.
• Heat Conductivity: Aluminium excels at transferring heat, making it ideal for applications involving temperature control, such as heating kettles or cooling tanks.
• Hygiene: Aluminium is non-porous and smooth, facilitating thorough cleaning and minimizing the risk of bacterial growth. This is crucial for maintaining food safety and regulatory compliance.
Aluminium Fabrication Applications in Food and Beverage
The versatility of aluminium fabrication allows it to shine in a wide range of food and beverage settings:
• Brewing and Distilling: Aluminium tanks, vats, and fermenters play a vital role in beer and spirit production. Their lightweight nature makes them ideal for large-scale brewing operations.
• Dairy Processing: Aluminium is commonly used for milk storage tanks, pasteurization equipment, and pipelines due to its excellent hygiene properties and resistance to corrosion from acidic milk products.
• Beverage Canning and Bottling: Aluminium is the go-to material for beverage cans due to its lightweight strength, recyclability, and ability to maintain product integrity.
• Food Processing Lines: Aluminium fabrication creates essential components like conveyor systems, hoppers, chutes, and storage containers, ensuring efficient and hygienic food processing.
• Commercial Kitchens: From countertops and shelving to cooking utensils and storage solutions, aluminium offers a hygienic and durable option for busy kitchens.
