Stainless steel is a flexible blend of metals that makes up most industrial machinery. Easy to clean and maintain for long periods of time, it can be shaped, cut, and molded into many useful machines and parts. In order to do so, stainless steel fabricators will take contracts from different industries to create the parts they need.
Process
When a plant or company requires new equipment, they may call a shop and set up a meeting with stainless steel fabricators to discuss the project. They will specify what parts are needed, their function, and any special modifications needed for the project. The fabricators will then draw up plans and cut the metal; most of them use CNC laser or plasma cutters to create the base pieces out of sheet metal.
The new piece will then be shaped, welded and assembled for transport. In some cases, fabricators will offer painting and finishing services before delivering the finished order to customers. If the shop does installation, they will send a worker or a subcontracted business to install the new piece as it is needed on-site.
Benefits
Stainless steel fabricators offer a variety of services to create customized pieces for many different industries. Custom parts are needed in construction, agriculture, water treatment, and food packing industries for a variety of assembly, maintenance, and construction procedures. Many of these orders will come from contractors have been repeat clients, building a strong partnership with the fabrication shop. This connection will provide both businesses with steady work and mutual expansion opportunities.
Stainless steel parts are less likely to rust compared to their counterparts, and can be easily built around specific needs and processes. A number of different finishes make stainless suitable for various jobs—food processing, water treatment, and mining, to name a few. Its versatility makes it an ideal material for heavy-duty equipment.
Using a Fabricator’s Services
Working with stainless steel fabricators can create a lasting business relationship that provides a business with reliable, durable custom parts at an affordable price. Both the parts and the partnership will be built to last around a business’s individual needs.
