Food and dairy duty is hygienic-first: drainable, cleanable, inert and documented. The pressures are modest; the surface finish and the fitting standard are what matter.
Applications and the products that suit them

Specification notes for this sector
- 316L and hygienic end connections on every product-contact line
- Smooth-bore PTFE where the bore must be fully cleanable
- Tell us the CIP chemistry and temperature — hot caustic changes the derating
