Precision welding in the dairy industry

At the heart of every modern dairy plant is a complex network of pipes, tanks and equipment made of stainless steel. Precise welding of stainless elements is the foundation of safety and hygiene in dairy production. Deffor, specializing in advanced welding techniques, offers the highest level of services that meet the stringent requirements of the food industry.

TIG welding – the key to excellence in the dairy industry

TIG welding is the flagship technique used by Deffor in projects for the dairy industry. This precise welding method guarantees:

  • Impeccable cleanliness of the joints

  • Exceptional strength of connections

  • Ability to work with thin materials

Our experience in TIG welding of stainless steel allows us to create installations that meet the highest quality and hygiene standards.

Why is stainless steel crucial in the dairy industry?

Stainless steel, especially grades such as 304 steel and 316 steel, are preferred in the dairy industry due to their unique properties:

  • Corrosion resistance

  • Easy to keep clean

  • Durability in difficult conditions

Acid-resistant steel is an ideal material for the production of precision elements, such as tanks, pipelines or elements of processing machines.

TIG welding – a precise welding method for the dairy industry

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is the most commonly used technique in the dairy industry. This precision welding method ensures:

  • High quality welds

  • Minimal risk of contamination

  • Possibility of welding thin elements

TIG welding of stainless steel allows you to create joints of the highest purity and strength, which is crucial in the production of milk processing equipment.
