Why do we polish the stainless steel used in beer equipment?



We all know that beer equipment is made of steel, and there is a process of polishing it during the production of beer equipment. Do you know why we polish beer equipment? Now let's talk about it.
 
1. Polished stainless steel is easier to clean and sanitize
Once polished, the surface is free of grooves or pits, so it can be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner spray or other cleaner, helping to prevent bacterial growth in the beer equipment. The smoother the surface, the less microbes can adhere to the device.
 
2. Food Hygiene Requirements
Beer produced by beer equipment is directly consumed by people, so food hygiene is very important, and legal and health authorities also have strict standards for it. The Brewing Equipment Institute has stated that polished stainless steel has a smooth surface and will not inhibit the growth of bacteria or mold; however, if water containing harmful bacteria comes into contact with this metal (and then food), it can cause serious problems . Therefore, hygiene issues will not only affect customer safety, but also affect the perception of the brand by the majority of consumer groups, which in turn will have an impact on sales.
 
3. The appearance looks very beautiful
The mirror finish makes any piece look more contemporary and attractive than an unpolished counterpart.
 
Tiantai beer equipment carries out overall pickling and passivation treatment on the inside of the tank, and the inside is polished to 0.2~0.4μm without dead ends. The outside of the tank is protected by an oil film brushed board surface, and the weld seam is polished. It can meet the hygienic requirements, is not easy to breed bacteria, and looks very beautiful.
