Welding inherently doesn’t seem like the cleanest job, but when it comes to food-grade welding, creating a surface that can be kept sanitary is vital. As one of the most strictly managed types of expert welding. Food-grade welding, truly requires a steady hand and a deep understanding of welding techniques. At Northland Fastening Systems (NFS), we provide all of the precision tools you need in order to maintain and surpass the sanitary welding standards.
Staying Up to Standard with Food-Grade Welding
Food safety is no joke in the United States, and neither is the demand for high-intensity food-processing machinery. Together, these two aspects of U.S. business mean that there is a flourishing market for welders who know how to handle food-grade welding on large scales. Unlike some other welding types, there is no room for error with sanitary welding. The standards are high, and checks and balances are extremely vigilant.
The intense nature of welding all comes down to safety. A poorly welded machine may be porous or may play host to nooks and crannies that can allow for moisture to gather. This, in turn, can lead to bacteria growth, which means that a sanitary welding job gone wrong could, theoretically, contaminate huge amounts of food across the country.
Maintaining Precision with Our Welding Tools
In order to prevent this type of food safety disaster, there are carefully maintained rules and processes that food-grade welding professionals must follow. For some welders, the trouble of learning this type of welding isn’t worth it, but for a subset of highly precise welders, sanitary welding might be the perfect career path.
Since precision is the name of the game in food-grade welding, knowing your equipment like the back of your hand is a must. At NFS, we provide a wide array of stud-welding guns and associated materials that help make sanitary welding possible every day. Prospective sanitary welders can acquaint themselves with state-of-the-art power supplies and equipment that make their jobs easier.
