About Our Food Division
Built for Food-Grade Safety & Hygiene
Stainless steel components for food-grade equipment must not only be corrosion-resistant, but also easy to clean and meet strict sanitation standards. Generic industrial hardware is not suitable — every surface, radius, and weld on a food-contact part directly affects contamination risk and CIP effectiveness.
Profab specializes in precision engineered stainless steel components for the food industry. With advanced CNC machining, hygienic welding, and polishing finishing techniques, each component we manufacture is easy to clean and highly resistant to corrosion. We understand the critical importance of food safety — each product is designed to minimize the risk of contamination.
We support food equipment manufacturers, beverage system integrators, dairy OEMs, and food packaging machinery builders who require components that comply with FDA, HACCP, and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
Industries Served
Food Sectors We Supply
Packaging & Conveying Machinery
Packaging lines, conveyor systems, and weighing/portioning equipment use high volumes of motion and positioning stainless components. Ball transfer units, rod ends, spacers, and standoffs must maintain dimensional accuracy and surface integrity across millions of operating cycles.
Food Processing Equipment
From egg baling machines to meat processing lines and vegetable washing systems, stainless steel motion and conveying components must handle continuous washdown cycles without corrosion or contamination. Power drive control components and conveying/positioning parts are key supply areas.
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical
Nutraceutical, supplement, and pharmaceutical production equipment shares many requirements with food-grade manufacturing — but with tighter tolerances and stricter surface finish documentation. Full material traceability certificates and electropolished surfaces with Ra <0.4μm are standard for GMP-compliant facilities.
Material Specification
Food Grade Stainless Steel We Work With
304 Stainless Steel
The most widely used food-grade alloy (also called 18/8 stainless). Excellent corrosion resistance in most food environments, easy to fabricate and polish. Suitable for non-immersed or low-chloride food contact surfaces, conveying equipment, and packaging machinery.
Conveyor Parts
Packaging Machinery
316 / 316L Stainless Steel
Molybdenum addition significantly improves resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion. Required for direct contact with high-salt, high-acid foods, aggressive CIP chemicals, and seafood processing environments. 316L (low carbon) is preferred for welded assemblies to prevent sensitization.
Seafood Processing
CIP Pipelines
17-4PH Stainless Steel
Precipitation-hardened stainless for food-adjacent applications requiring higher strength — such as drive shafts, actuator components, and high-load linkage parts in processing equipment. Maintains corrosion resistance while delivering substantially higher tensile strength than 316L.
Drive Components
High-Load Linkages

FAQ
Questions from Food Equipment Procurement Teams
Have a technical question not covered here? Send your drawings directly and our engineering team will review your application and provide a detailed quotation.
What surface finish is best for food processing equipment?
We support pre-factory testing such as tensile strength, fatigue, dimensional accuracy, etc. We can also provide third party certification reports upon request to ensure that all fittings meet the standards of classification societies or heavy-duty working conditions.
What surface roughness (Ra) standards can your products achieve?
Are the welds treated to meet hygienic standards?
What level of high-pressure washdown can your components withstand?
