Sheet Metal Fabrication for the Science & Medical Industry

Precision sheet metal fabrication plays a growing role in the scientific and medical sectors, where constant innovation demands products that are both flexible and durable. Most requirements can be met with standard components, but we also offer fully bespoke products for clients across the scientific, medical, and food industries.

Benefits of our sheet metal fabrication for science & medical clients:

  • CAD/CAM design for accurate, repeatable results
  • Laser cutting for extreme precision on sheet metal and stainless steel
  • Bespoke and standard components produced rapidly
  • Faster turnaround and reduced costs through in-house manufacturing

Food-Grade Stainless Steel Fabrication

Stainless steel is the material of choice across food production and preparation, used extensively for worktop surfaces, storage units, sinks, shelving and commercial kitchen fixtures. There are several types of food-grade stainless steels, each suited to different applications. Sheet metal fabrication is an ideal option here as it’s an efficient, cost-effective way to produce these structures, suitable for both one-off and small-batch runs.

Why stainless steel for food production:

  • It’s corrosion-resistant, unaffected by the salts, acids and water regularly encountered in food processing
  • Withstands industrial-grade cleaning, essential where allergens must be controlled
  • Manufactured to guidelines published by the European Hygiene Engineering and Design Group on materials of construction for food-contact equipment, including chromium, nickel and carbon specifications

Our Standards & Specifications

We manufacture food-sector products in line with:

  • EHEDG guidelines – The Materials of Construction for Equipment in Contact with Food
  • Food-grade stainless steel specifications, selected to suit each application

Sectors We Work With

Our experience in the science and food sectors extends into several closely related industries, where the same hygiene, precision and material requirements apply. Whether you’re specifying equipment for a lab, a production line or a processing facility, our team can advise on the right materials and finish for the job.

Alongside science and food, we regularly fabricate for:

  • Pharmaceutical and laboratory environments
  • Food processing and production
  • Agriculture and research
  • Medical and dental equipment manufacturers

Science & Food Industry Services FAQs

What is food-grade stainless steel, and why is it used in food production?

Food-grade stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and able to withstand the industrial-grade cleaning required in food production and preparation, where surfaces regularly come into contact with salts, acids, and water. It’s manufactured to guidelines published by the European Hygiene Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG).

Can you fabricate bespoke products for the science and medical sector, or only standard components?

Both. Most requirements in the scientific and medical sector can be met with standard components, but we also offer fully bespoke products designed and manufactured in-house.

Why choose Salamander Fabrications for food or science sector fabrication?

We’ve worked in the sheet metal fabrication industry for over 50 years, manufacturing everything in-house at our Yorkshire facility, with experience across both standard and bespoke component production for food, medical and scientific clients.
