Food-Grade stainless steel plate | Compliant with Global Safety Standards

Food-Grade Stainless Steel Plate | Compliant with Global Safety Standards

Technical Specifications

Performance & Features

1. Tensile Strength

Our 1/8 stainless steel plate series combines food safety with exceptional mechanical performance:

• Grade 304: Delivers 515–700 MPa tensile strength, ideal for food processing equipment like mixers and conveyor belts.
• Grade 316L: Offers 520–670 MPa with molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance, perfect for coastal or high-salinity environments.
• Grade 430: Provides 450–600 MPa, suitable for non-acidic applications like baking trays or switch plates stainless steel.
  Compliance with ASTM A240 and ISO 3506 ensures material consistency, validated by Mill Test Reports (MTRs).

2. Bending Strength

Engineered to withstand rigorous shaping without compromising hygiene:

• Thin plates (≤6 mm) achieve 180° bends without cracking (per GB/T 232-2010), critical for forming kitchenware edges or switch plates stainless steel.
• Thick plates (>10 mm) require controlled radii (≥3× thickness) to prevent stress fractures in structural components like food storage tanks.

3. Identification & Marking

Each plate includes laser-etched identifiers for compliance:

• Grade designation (e.g., SUS304, 316L).
• Batch number, FDA/EC1935 certification mark, and heat treatment code for full traceability.

4. Weight Calculation

Calculate plate weight using:
$\text{Weight (kg)}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (m)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times 7.93(\text{Density})$
Example: A 1/8 stainless steel plate (3.175 mm × 1.5 m × 3 m) weighs 113 kg – optimized for lightweight switch plates stainless steel or heavy-duty food processing equipment.

5. Why Stainless Steel Can Rust?

Even food-grade chrome plated vs stainless steel may corrode under specific conditions:

• Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or acidic foods (e.g., pickling brine) induce pitting in 430-grade steel.
• Mechanical Damage: Scratches from utensils disrupt the chromium oxide layer, necessitating electropolished finishes for switch plates stainless steel.
• Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding in 304/316L reduces chromium carbide resistance, requiring post-weld annealing.
  Preventative measures include pH-neutral cleaning and avoiding hybrid setups with chrome plated vs stainless steel, which risk galvanic corrosion.

Chrome Plated vs Stainless Steel: Key Differences

Applications

• Food Processing: Mixing tanks, conveyor systems (1/8 stainless steel plate).
• Commercial Kitchens: Switch plates stainless steel, countertops, sinks.
• Medical Hygiene: Surgical instrument trays, sterilizable surfaces (316L grade).

Why Choose Our Food-Grade Stainless Steel Plates?

1. Global Compliance: Certified for FDA 21 CFR 175.300, EC1935, and ISO 22000 food safety standards.
2. Hygienic Surfaces: Electrolytic polishing creates non-porous finishes, inhibiting bacterial growth.
3. Precision Engineering: Laser cutting tolerances ±0.1 mm for seamless integration into switch plates stainless steel or custom designs.
4. Full Traceability: MTRs and QR-coded batch tracking ensure material authenticity.
5. Sustainability: 100% recyclable with eco-friendly production aligned with circular economy principles.
