Applications
Agricultural & Wear-resistant Equipment
A complete portfolio of stainless steel solutions for agribusiness applications.
Agricultural & Wear-resistant Equipment
Agribusiness applications such as grain processing facilities have long waited for a material capable of preventing corrosion and wear. That wait is finally over. After more than a decade of research, Aperam has launched a complete portfolio of stainless steel solutions designed specifically for agribusiness applications. These applications provide exceptional corrosion resistance, reduce thickness losses and increase expected service life.
Sugar & Alcohol Mills – Intermediate Conveyor Chains
Conveyor chains used in sugar and alcohol processing mills made from 1045 carbon steel have a relatively low lifespan and high maintenance requirements. Stainless steel chains developed by Aperam, on the other hand, offer better corrosion resistance and have proven to increase service life by at least three times.
Grain Transport
Stainless steel is well-suited for many agribusiness applications, including the equipment used for grain transport. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel can withstand the corrosion and wear that this equipment is subjected too. As a result, stainless steel applications require less maintenance and enjoy a longer service life.
Coffee Equipment
With stainless steel, coffee processing equipment benefits from an increased service life, better hygiene and low maintenance requirements. It’s also 100% recyclable, thus adding value to the final product. As a result, stainless steel is regularly used in such coffee processing equipment as furnaces, washers, dryers, pulpers, separators and chimneys.
Stainless steel cane carrier slats
Slats used in cane carriers have traditionally been made from steels with a thickness of around 6.35 mm. However, using stainless steel, and ferritic grade 1.4003 (K03) in particular, enables manufacturers to reduce the gauge to 4.5 mm, with a significant savings in weight. This results in a double advantage: lower lifecycle costs for the materials and lower handling and transport costs for the finished units.
