Stainless steel standard components range grows
1 min read
The comprehensive range of industrial standard components in metal and high grade reinforced plastic from Elesa is common knowledge but what is less well known is the continuing rapid growth in the company's range of stainless steel standard components in AISI grades 301, 303, 304 and 316. These have been developed specifically for those applications where significantly higher levels of quality are required in respect of corrosion resistance or ultimate strength.
Elesa's stainless steel range of elements for control, location/positioning, clamping, visual indication and mobility now includes handwheels, lobe knobs, wing nuts, adjustable clamping handles, grab handles, indexing plungers, hinges, column level indicators and castors - which are corrosion resistant and suited to aggressive environments.
These are found to be of value for applications located offshore or in chemical plants and clean down areas in food processing and pharmaceuticals where their cavity free design prevents biological build up and aids cleaning. Plus their relatively inert stainless steel surface offers little opportunity for corrosion or attachment of debris which may otherwise lead to raised contamination levels.
This is achieved by using polished surfaces, with matt finish where it is needed for good grip and control of the elements – and which also provides a softer feel for operator comfort and security of grip/operation.
