Stainless Weldments Without the Contamination Problems

Equipment makers in process, food, water treatment and lab technology need stainless frames and vessels that look clean, stay rust-free and fit their assembly. That means more than welding stainless: carbon-steel tools and grinding discs are kept away from stainless parts, welds are pickled and passivated, and the surface finish matches what you specified.

We build stainless frames, skids, non-pressure tanks, hoppers and guards in series, and machine the flanges, brackets and turned parts that go with them, so a complete stainless subassembly comes from one order.

What We Make in Stainless Steel

Rows of black steel housings with machined bores on a pallet

Equipment Frames and Bases

Welded tube and profile frames that carry drums, pumps, tanks and drives, with machined mounting pads.

Bent and welded sheet steel tray with dividers on a pallet

Hoppers and Chutes

Stainless hoppers, chutes and troughs with screw conveyors or outlets, for powders, food and bulk material.

Large white welded steel cylindrical tanks with Nika logo in the outdoor yard

Non-Pressure Tanks

Atmospheric tanks, buffer tanks and containers with nozzles, manholes and legs. Pressure vessels are not in our scope.

White-coated steel panel with a round cut-out

Guards and Panels

Laser-cut and bent stainless panels, covers and machine guards with clean, flush welds.

Which grade

304 or 316L: How We Usually Advise

GradeTypical useNote
1.4301 / 304Frames, guards, dry or indoor equipment, food contact without chloridesGood value; most frames are made in 304
1.4404 / 316LWet process areas, cleaning chemicals, water treatment, coastal sitesMolybdenum improves resistance to chlorides and pitting
Mixed design304 frame with 316L wetted partsSaves cost where only the product-contact parts need 316L
How we keep stainless clean

From Cutting to Passivation

  1. Separate handling

    Stainless is cut, bent and welded with tools and discs kept for stainless only.

  2. Controlled welding

    TIG for visible and thin parts, MIG for heavier frames, with gas backing where the root matters.

  3. Pickling

    Heat tint and oxides are removed from welds by pickling paste or bath.

  4. Passivation

    The surface is passivated to restore the chromium oxide layer.

  5. Finish

    Brushed or glass-bead blasted to your specified look.

  6. Inspection and packing

    Visual and dimensional checks, then packed in film so the surface arrives clean.

FAQ

Questions from Stainless Equipment Makers

Do you make pressure vessels?

No. We make non-pressure stainless parts: atmospheric tanks, hoppers, frames, skids, guards and machined parts.

Are welds pickled and passivated?

Yes. Welds are pickled to remove heat tint and the parts are passivated before delivery.

Which surface finishes do you offer?

Brushed and glass-bead blasted finishes; please state the finish and any Ra value on the drawing.

Can you supply the machined stainless parts too?

Yes. Turned and milled parts in 304 and 316L can be quoted together with the welded frames.

How do you avoid iron contamination?

Stainless parts are handled with separate tools, brushes and discs, and are not stored in contact with carbon steel.

What do you need for a quote?

Drawings, grade, finish, quantities per batch and per year, and any test or documentation requirements.

Stainless sourcing

Stainless Steel Fabrication from Türkiye for European Equipment Makers

Stainless frames and vessels are labour-heavy: the welding is slower, the finishing takes time and the material is expensive, so scrap and rework hurt. That makes them a good fit for a supplier that combines careful welding with lower hourly costs and short road transport to Europe.

One order for the welded and the machined parts

Stainless subassemblies usually mix welded frames with turned and milled parts. We quote both together, so you do not have to coordinate two suppliers. See our welding and fabrication and CNC machining.
