Components & process equipment

When sheet, tube and weld have to become a working component.

Components & process equipment

Customer-specific components to drawing and CAD data

Many technical components cannot be ordered from a catalogue. Dimensions, connections, material, surface and installation situation are specific to the project.

Sometimes a single part is needed, sometimes a recurring small batch – and often several processes have to come together before sheets and semi-finished products become a component ready to install.

stainlesstec makes customer-specific components and process equipment to drawing and CAD data – from a simple hopper through sieve and filter components to complex process and pressure vessels.

To drawing, not from a catalogue

Building process equipment usually starts with a specific installation situation. A vessel needs particular connections. A filter housing has to fit existing pipework. A sieve frame needs precisely defined dimensions and a particular mesh. A hopper has to pass material reliably into the next stage.

We therefore do not work from a fixed product range: your design defines the component. We take care of making it – from cutting through forming and welding to surface, assembly and project-specific testing.

Our components at a glance

Pressure & process vessels

Vessels for process, pressure, vacuum and special applications – with connections, internals, agitators or other functional elements as the project requires.

Process vessels · pressure vessels · agitated and mixing vessels · dosing vessels · tanks · vacuum chambers

Hoppers, cones & transitions

Round to round, square to round, asymmetrical or entirely customer-specific: transitions connect processes, machines and pipe cross-sections and have to fit existing plant cleanly despite complex geometry.

Hoppers · cones · reducers · transition pieces · inlet and outlet components

Sieves, sieve frames & filter components

A technical sieve is far more than a mesh: frame, perforated plate, wire mesh, fixing, weld and surface all have to work together.

Sieve frames · sieve baskets · filter screens · perforated plate structures · mesh inserts

Filter housings

Filter element and process have to match. We therefore make filter housings to customer specification – with project-specific dimensions, connections, lids, flanges and internals.

Food processing · pharmaceuticals & process · mechanical engineering · air and media handling

Custom enclosures, hoods & covers

Connections, visible surfaces, cooling, access, maintenance and assembly turn an apparently simple cover into a demanding structure.

Machine enclosures · guards · covers · housings · technical panelling

Heat exchanger components

Heat transfer places high demands on geometry, material and welded joints. We make customer-specific components for heat exchangers and temperature-controlled processes to customer data.

Shell components · heating and cooling jackets · tube and sheet components · connection areas

From the individual part to the complete apparatus

In process equipment in particular, the value rarely comes from a single operation. A process vessel passes through, for example:

laser cutting
roll bending
bending
welding
connections and internals
surface finishing
assembly
tightness or pressure testing

The better those steps are matched to one another, the fewer interfaces you have to coordinate. We therefore think not in individual parts but in finished components.

Round, square or somewhere in between

Building process equipment is often about geometry. Many components combine different shapes:

round to square
differing diameters
angled outlets
conical transitions
eccentric connection positions
curved surfaces
complex weld geometries

For this we combine laser and punching technology, CNC bending, roll and section bending and a range of welding processes. The right strategy follows from the geometry in hand.

Material and application belong together

Stainless steel for corrosive, hygienic and high-grade applications – in food, pharmaceutical and process technology among others
Aluminium for lightweight enclosures and technical components
Special stainless grades for greater corrosion resistance, pressure applications or particular technical requirements

Other materials are assessed project by project. High-grade stainless steel and aluminium components benefit additionally from our segregated production.

When the surface is part of the function

On process equipment the surface is far more than appearance. It affects cleanability, hygiene, corrosion resistance, product adhesion, flow and looks.

It should therefore be settled early which areas are product-contact, what roughness or grit is required and how welds and transitions are to be finished. On demanding applications we build those requirements into production planning from the start.

Process equipment for a range of industries

Food processing technology

Vessels, sieves, hoppers, filter housings and air handling components for production and process plant.

About this industry

Machinery & plant engineering

Enclosures, vessels, transitions and system components as part of complete machines and plant.

About this industry

High technology & special applications

Customer-specific components with particular demands on geometry, material, tightness or surface.

About this industry

One-off, prototype or small batch

Much process equipment is not a series product. It is made:

for one particular plant
as a replacement for an existing part
within a development project
in a range of variants
in small recurring quantities

That is exactly what our shop is set up for. CAD-based production planning means even individual components can be remade repeatably later or developed further under control.

Quality to suit the application

Different parts call for different qualifications and tests. stainlesstec holds ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 3834-3, AD 2000 HP 0 and DIN 2303, among others.

Which of them matter for a project follows from material, field of use and component specification. For pressure, pharmaceutical and other quality-critical applications we agree the scope of testing and documentation before production starts. More under Quality & certifications.

What we need to assess a project

For a quick assessment the following help most:

drawing or STEP data
material
wall thicknesses
quantity
connections and internals
operating pressure and temperature, where relevant
surface requirements
product-contact areas
welding specifications
testing requirements
documentation required

Not everything settled in the design yet? Then we will judge from what exists which production questions should be answered early.

Your component is not available off the shelf?

Then we will make it to your requirements. Whether a vessel, sieve frame, filter housing, hopper or complex piece of special equipment: send us the design and the specification.

Our production planning team and the shop floor will work out how to turn it into a technically sound and economical component.
