Materials & Fabrication
Copper, stainless, glass, gaskets, welds, brazing, surfaces, hose and documentation.
Equipment research is separated from legal authorization. Verify the intended use and premises before operation.
Copper Still Construction
Copper sheet, tube, weld or braze quality, cleaning and service suitability.
304 Stainless Steel
Common stainless grade requiring verified material and fabrication quality.
316 Stainless Steel
Higher-alloy stainless used where corrosion resistance justifies cost.
Borosilicate Glass
Laboratory and sight-glass material requiring compatible joints, guards and support.
PTFE Gaskets
Chemical-resistant gasket material selected by temperature, compression and service.
Silicone Gaskets
Flexible sanitary gaskets with temperature and compatibility limits.
EPDM Gaskets
Elastomer option requiring verified process compatibility.
Viton Gaskets
Fluoroelastomer seals selected only for suitable service.
Lead-Free Solder
Fabrication material requiring suitable alloy, workmanship and food-contact review.
Silver Brazing Alloys
Higher-temperature joining materials used by qualified fabricators.
Sanitary Welds
Full-penetration, smooth, cleanable welds and documented inspection.
Copper Patina
Surface oxidation may be cosmetic, active corrosion or evidence of chemical exposure.
Stainless Passivation
Surface treatment and cleaning performed with suitable procedure and chemistry.
Pickled Stainless Surfaces
Fabrication cleanup requiring chemical controls and documentation.
Food-Contact Plastics
Hose, tubing and vessels require temperature and product compatibility.
Sanitary Hose Materials
EPDM, silicone, PTFE and composite hose by service and certification.
Insulation
Thermal insulation, jacket, cleanability and fire performance.
Structural Steel Frames
Platforms, supports and stairs require engineering and corrosion protection.
Copper-to-Stainless Transitions
Ferrules, welding, brazing and galvanic considerations.
Material Certificates
Mill certificates and component documentation support commercial equipment files.
