We build sanitary stainless steel equipment for food and beverage processing: storage and mixing tanks, pressure vessels, totes and custom fabrications.
We design and fabricate sanitary stainless steel equipment for food and beverage processing: food grade tanks for storage and mixing, CIP and SIP systems, mixers, heat exchangers, piping and valves. We also combine these into complete process systems.
Past clients include Nestlé, Richardson, Mondelēz, Parmalat and Mars.
Storage and mixing tanks, processors, blenders, pressure vessels and totes, built to your process.
We design and build complete clean-in-place and sterilise-in-place systems for your line.
We design and integrate mixers, pumps and valves for automated processing and CIP.
Orbital and TIG welding give smooth, consistent sanitary welds on tanks and pipework.
We carry out dye penetrant testing of welds in our workshop, to find surface cracks and defects before the equipment leaves.
There is no carbon steel fabrication in our workshop, and we have been ASSDA accredited since 2009.
Food and beverage producers work under strict health, safety and sanitary manufacturing rules. We build complete process systems to industry sanitary practice.
Clean-in-place (CIP) systems use a mix of cleaning and sanitising chemicals, heat and water to clean process pipes, vessels and machinery where they stand. Cleaning in place removes the risk of re-contaminating equipment when it is reassembled after manual cleaning, and saves the time and labour that manual cleaning takes.
We model tanks, pipework and valve clusters in 3D and issue approval drawings, so interferences are found before assembly.
Our welders and fabricators build your tank by hand in our Murarrie workshop and pressure test it there before it leaves.
We deliver your tank to your site, anywhere in Australia, freighted from our Murarrie workshop by Russell Transport.
We repair and modify your equipment in our workshop for as long as you run it.
For anything else, call (07) 3348 9444.
It depends on what the tank holds and how it is cleaned. 304 suits many food products. 316 or 316L is often chosen for salty, acidic or harsher cleaning conditions. We recommend a grade for your product.
Yes. We design and build CIP and SIP systems, mixing and storage tanks, mixers, heat exchangers, piping and valves, and integrate them into one system.
Yes. We design and integrate mixers into new tanks, and can retrofit them to existing tanks.
We pressure test it in our workshop, with hydrostatic testing depending on the size of the tank, and do dye penetrant testing of the welds and a pre-delivery inspection. Other testing your specification calls for, such as radiography, borescope inspection, riboflavin coverage testing, surface finish (profilometer) checks and material verification, can be arranged through NATA-accredited third-party testers.
Either. We can work from your drawings, or design and engineer the project ourselves, whether or not we end up building it.
Every tank comes with a manufacturer's data report with material certificates and weld records. Drawings and test reports can be supplied on request, depending on what your auditor needs. Tell us at quote stage and we will confirm it in the quote.
Tell us what you need to store, process or move. Drawings, sketches and rough numbers are all fine.
