Food-Grade Welding and Sanitary Welding Techniques

Welding, on its surface, doesn’t seem like the cleanest job, but many fields rely on sanitary welded structures in order to keep consumers, students, and patients safe. Mastering the art of sanitary welding expands your marketability as a professional welder. You then are contributing to some of the most important fields and functions of society. Northland Fastening Systems (NFS) provides the tools you need to meet and exceed the high standards of various welding jobs, including food-grade welding.

Food-Grade Welding Is Used In:

 Education Facility Using Food-Grade Welding

Welding is an essential part of modern education, thanks to its role in food prep. Any school that is utilizing machinery, appliances, and cooking surfaces during mealtimes is relying on those surfaces to be sanitary and safe. Schools also cater to a wide variety of students who may have specialized medical needs, allergies, or other sensitivities that require consistent sanitation. When products are welded with certified food-grade welding, educational facilities can rest assured that their surfaces are clean enough for daily cooking.

Medicine

Sanitary welding in medical facilities can be the difference between life or death. While this is true in all areas of food-grade welding, it’s especially vital in medical facilities where individuals on site may be immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable. Sanitary welding can help produce materials and machinery that keep patients safe, and ensure that medicine and medical equipment are clean and ready for use.

Manufacturing

When producing large quantities of goods, sanitation must be a high priority. Food-grade welding means preventing faults and divots in production lines that can put the final products at risk.

As a welder with sanitary welding expertise, your ability to contribute to these fields means that you are also contributing to the safety and security of our population. While the requirements of welding are steep, they’re no match for a well-equipped expert welder.
