Frequently Asked Questions

What makes stainless steel good for equipment?

Stainless steel is a metal alloy – combining steel with elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminium and carbon.

Unlike other materials, stainless steel is a hygienic choice. It’s resistant to both corrosion and stains and doesn’t rust. Something else worth noting is that it doesn’t need an extra coating as it’s already inherently protected.

Stainless steel equipment is easy to clean and care for. To prevent it from looking dull, and to mop up any spills or splashes, simply wipe it down with a cloth. And to remove any marks, use soapy water or a suitable detergent, cleaning along the grain as opposed to against it.

If you’re interested in stainless steel equipment but want to know more about the benefits it can bring before you invest, give us a call on 0121 661 6346.

Is stainless steel equipment better than aluminium equipment?

Boasting a lustrous look, aluminium and stainless steel equipment look very similar. They are both used widely in commercial and industrial settings and don’t rust – but that’s where their similarities end.

Stainless steel equipment is much stronger than aluminium, whilst aluminium is almost one-third lighter. Stainless steel products will be sturdier but their aluminium counterparts have a better strength to weight ratio.

Although both types of equipment have good corrosion resistance properties, stainless steel has a protective chromium film and is non-porous – making it perfect for hygienic environments.

Another important factor to consider when choosing between stainless steel and aluminium equipment is the metal’s conductivity. For instance, aluminium is an excellent electrical conductor whereas stainless steel is not. Similarly, aluminium is a better conductor of heat whilst stainless steel can be used at higher temperatures. Unlike aluminium, stainless steel won’t soften in extreme conditions.

Which industries can benefit from stainless steel equipment?

Stainless steel equipment is an excellent choice for hygienic environments, as it’s easy to sanitise and resistant to corrosion.

With that in mind, it’s frequently used in the medical field for operating tables, worktops and storage cupboards – as well as in the food and catering industry.

Stainless steel is used for food production and storage because it doesn’t affect the flavour of the food. And furniture can be easily cleaned, which helps to keep germs and pathogens at bay.
