Solution:
Super austenitic stainless steel (904L) belts – far superior corrosion resistance compared to 304/316 grades
Anti-salt-spray coating for added protection in harsh saline environments
Results:
Belt life extended from 6 months to over 24 months – a 300% increase
Approximately €15,000 saved annually in replacement costs and downtime losses
Improved worker safety due to reduced slip hazards
Industry Insight:
Seafood processing demands extreme corrosion resistance – our 904L alloy outperforms standard 304/316 stainless steel, ensuring long-term reliability in saltwater environments.
