Food Processing

TMS is a leader and serves as an integral partner in the building and maintenance of food manufacturing equipment. Since 1929 we have been producing high quality, durable parts, such as hoppers, cones, kettles, cups and lids with the food manufacturer in mind. Our stocked parts 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, or use one of our standard designs. 

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 are in need of prototype or production quantities, we want to work with you. The collaboration between our customers, sales representatives, and engineers ensure that our customers receive the highest quality parts in a timely manner. Contact us today and we will begin immediately to work towards manufacturing your parts.
