In the mechanical industry landscape, metal fabrication for food machinery represents one of the most complex and delicate challenges. It is not only about building solid structures, but about ensuring absolute safety for the end consumer, maximum hygiene, and resistance to aggressive sanitization processes.

For a food & beverage plant manufacturer, choosing the right partner for metal fabrication means relying on those who have a deep understanding of regulations and possess the necessary technology to work with specific materials. In this context, FXT S.p.A., with over 40 years of experience, stands as a benchmark for the industrialization of high-precision metal components.

Why is stainless steel essential?

When it comes to food machinery, the material of choice is undoubtedly stainless steel. However, not all stainless steels are the same. The choice depends on the type of contact (direct or indirect) with food and the acidity of the processed products.
- AISI 304 (EN 1.4301): it is the most common grade, excellent for resistance to corrosion under standard conditions and easy to clean.
AISI 316L (EN 1.4404): offers superior resistance to corrosion from chlorides and acids, making it essential for systems that process salty or highly acidic products.

Why choose FXT S.p.A. for food-grade metal fabrication

Metal fabrication for the food sector requires technical expertise, compliance with hygiene standards, and technological innovation. In an increasingly competitive market, the quality of components is the first calling card of your food machinery.

Choosing FXT means opting for a complete service that goes far beyond simple mechanical supply.

The use of latest-generation automated systems allows for consistent millimetric precision over time. From prototyping to logistics management with in-house transport, FXT handles the entire supply chain.
