Custom Fabrication: Sheet Metal Applications for Food and Beverage Processing

TMS is a leader and serves as an integral partner in the building and maintenance of food manufacturing equipment by providing custom, fabricated stainless steel applications specifically designed for the food and beverage processing equipment.

Seamless industrial hoppers, stainless steel sanitary hoppers, kettles, and cups, are engineered for durability, easy clean‑out, and are compliant with sanitary processing standards.

Our stocked hoppers and pans are made from either 304 or 316 stainless steel. We welcome the opportunity to modify TMS stocked parts and create something that is unique for your company. 

 

We are professionals at welding sanitary fittings, finishing parts to a smooth brushed finish, and increasing the volume capacity, gallons or liters, to customize a part just for you. We accomplish this by producing cylinders which can be welded to a cone to add length, thus increase volume capacity. TMS ensures all seam welds have very low porosity and are smooth to ensure your product flows freely and clean out is easy. 

 

Whether you need prototype runs or high‑volume production, our team delivers expertise in food grade metal spinning and fabrication.

 

Typical Metal Applications for the Food Processing Industry

  • Stainless steel sanitary hoppers & funnels

  • Custom cones & kettles

  • Cylinders with sanitary fittings

  • Cups, lids & pans for processing equipment

  • Welded and polished food contact components

Regularly formed food processing metals:

●  Stainless Steels 304, 309, 316
●  Copper Alloys
●  Steel Alloys

Meet Sanitary & Hygiene Requirements

For food and beverage applications, surface finish and weld integrity are critical to prevent bacterial growth and ensure cleanability. TMS uses advanced finishing and polishing processes to achieve smooth, sanitary surfaces — essential for FDA and USDA compliant environments.
