Here at Helander, we’re proud to manufacture industry-leading commercial food equipment for various applications, making use of stainless steel and other popular metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper.
For stainless steel kitchen equipment fabrication, in particular, 300 series stainless steel is our most popular material choice. More specifically, food-preparation parts and equipment are typically produced using 304 and 316 series stainless steel. The 300 series stainless steels are well-known for their high resistance to corrosion, easy maintenance, and ability to maintain their strength at high temperatures.
Though 300 series stainless steel is the most common pick for kitchen equipment, the 400 series is also suitable, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as 300 options, albeit it to a lesser extent. Manufacturing kitchen equipment with 400 series stainless steel typically allows for lower costs.
