Pipes for Food and Beverage Processing

2205 Duplex Pipes & Fittings Riyaarth Overseas in Mumbai

At Riyaarth Overseas, we specialize in providing high-quality pipes designed specifically for the food and beverage industry. These pipes play a vital role in the processing, transportation, and storage of food and beverage products, ensuring hygienic conditions and maintaining product quality. Our pipes are engineered to meet stringent health and safety regulations, ensuring they are resistant to contamination, corrosion, and capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of food and beverage production.

Key Properties of Food & Beverage Pipes

Corrosion Resistance:

Food and beverage pipes must be resistant to corrosion to maintain hygiene and avoid contamination. Exposure to moisture, acids, and cleaning chemicals can accelerate corrosion, which can affect product quality. To combat this, our pipes are treated with food-safe coatings and linings, including stainless steel and specialized alloy coatings, which ensure resistance to rust and corrosion.

Hygienic & Non-Toxic:

Food-grade pipes must meet high hygiene standards, ensuring no harmful substances are transferred to the food or beverage being processed. The materials used are non-toxic, free from heavy metals, and comply with regulations such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards. These pipes are easy to clean and maintain, preventing the growth of bacteria or mold.

Pressure & Temperature Resistance:

Food and beverage processes often involve temperature and pressure variations, especially during pasteurization, sterilization, and packaging. Our pipes are designed to endure high temperatures ranging from -40°C to 150°C, as well as high pressures required for efficient transport and processing.

Durability & Longevity:

Given the continuous use of food processing equipment, our pipes are designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance. These pipes exhibit exceptional strength and resistance to wear, ensuring they function effectively for decades, even under constant cleaning cycles and exposure to harsh conditions.

Leakproof & High Integrity:

Ensuring leakproof operation is critical to prevent contamination and loss of product. Our food-grade pipes feature smooth, seamless joints and superior welding techniques that eliminate weak points and ensure durability under high-pressure conditions. High-integrity gaskets and seals further enhance the reliability and safety of the piping systems.

Compliance with Industry Standards:

Our pipes comply with international and regional food safety and quality standards, including FDA, NSF, and European Union regulations. They undergo rigorous testing and inspection to meet the highest industry benchmarks before being deployed.

Types of Pipes Used in Food & Beverage Processing

Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless steel pipes are the preferred material for food and beverage processing due to their non-reactive properties, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. Stainless steel is also durable, ensuring longevity in processing environments.

Applications:

  • Dairy and beverage pipelines.
  • Transporting liquids, syrups, oils, and food-grade chemicals.
  • Processing systems for food sterilization, pasteurization, and brewing.

Advantages:

  • Corrosion-resistant and hygienic.
  • Smooth interior surface for easy cleaning.
  • Non-reactive with food and beverages.
