In food and beverage equipment production, the focus is on achieving clean, sanitary welds with minimal contamination risk. A moderate duty cycle with precise control over the weld pool is necessary to ensure hygienic welds on stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials.
Modular design should prioritize easy cleaning and maintenance to meet industry hygiene standards, with less emphasis on heavy-duty cooling systems. AC/DC capabilities are essential for welding a variety of metals used in equipment and piping.
Lightweight and maneuverable machines are advantageous for working in potentially confined spaces of production facilities, allowing for on-site fabrications and adjustments.
