Stainless Cabinet

• Used for hygienic storage of ingredients, tools, or finished products in food processing environments.
• Suitable for housing control panels or sensitive equipment requiring protection from the production environment.
• Often found in laboratories or cleanroom settings for secure and sterile storage.
• Can be integrated into production lines for temporary holding or transfer points of materials.

Construction material

Typically food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Door configuration

Commonly features single or double hinged doors; sliding doors are also found on units of this type.

Internal shelving

Often includes adjustable or fixed internal shelving for organised storage, sometimes perforated for airflow.

Sealing

Units designed for washdown environments typically feature sealed doors and seams to prevent ingress of water and contaminants.

Footprint

Varies significantly, but for this class of equipment, dimensions can range from compact under-bench units to tall, multi-door cabinets.

Mobility

Some units are static, while others may be fitted with castors for ease of repositioning within a facility.
