By taking advantage of our boundless dedication to customer needs, a packing equipment manufacturer discovered the significant capability Appleton Stainless offers over the competition. We were contracted to manufacture multi-port manifolds with Tri-Clamps connections and polished to 32RA to be used in a sanitary extruding process. Application of our core competencies allowed us to deliver this product in under three weeks.

Throughout the manufacturing phase we worked closely with the customer, determining how their proprietary requirements could be best applied. The tube manifolds to be manufactured measured 2″ diameter tube on the run with 1/2″ tube on branches, staggered to allow easy clamping access, and specified 316L stainless steel with inner and outer finishes of 32RA. We opted to fabricate via a series of high-precision processes, including cutting, coping, TIG welding, hydro-ing and polishing. Pickling and passivation were also applied to ensure a smooth, clean, and corrosion-free surface.

All tube manifold units were manufactured and delivered within a short window of less than three weeks with each exceeding the quality standards set by the customer. Thanks to our extensive portfolio of challenging and unconventional projects, we were able to resolutely succeed where other steel fabricators had struggled or failed. Where some companies spend almost three weeks quoting this, we were finished and shipped within that time.
