Specialty Metals for Food & Beverage
Food and beverage facilities require products that can perform in demanding environments where moisture, drainage, ventilation, sanitation, and worker safety are everyday considerations. McNICHOLS offers Specialty Metals and Gratings for processing facilities, breweries, wineries, commercial kitchens, distribution operations, and other Food and Beverage applications.
Perforated Metal for Food & Beverage
When ventilation, filtration, drainage, or product separation is essential, Perforated Metal provides a versatile and reliable solution. Perforated Metal is widely used across food production for ingredient screening, drying trays, equipment guards, ventilation panels, and filtration components. It can also add function and visual interest to architectural features in breweries, wineries, commercial kitchens, and other food and beverage spaces. Available in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and other material options, McNICHOLS® Perforated Metal offers exceptional versatility and strength.
Expanded Metal for Food & Beverage
Expanded Metal provides strength, visibility, and airflow in a lightweight, one-piece construction. Within food and beverage operations, it can be incorporated into processing equipment, commercial frying baskets, machine guards, storage enclosures, and production area separation. Its open construction also makes Expanded Metal a practical choice when ventilation and visibility are important. Available in several materials, patterns, and configurations, McNICHOLS® Expanded Metal can support both operational and architectural project needs.
Wire Mesh for Food & Beverage
Wire Mesh is used throughout food processing and production for filtration, screening, separation, drying, shelving, and product handling. Its open area supports controlled airflow and visibility while offering numerous configurations for specific project requirements. With a selection of mesh counts, wire diameters, opening sizes, and materials available, McNICHOLS® Wire Mesh can also be specified for processing equipment, storage systems, protective enclosures, and other food and beverage uses.
Gratings for Food & Beverage
Bar Grating, Plank Grating, and Fiberglass Grating can provide reliable and easy-to-maintain walking surfaces in production, distribution, and customer-facing environments. Their open construction promotes drainage in areas exposed to moisture and frequent cleaning, while slip-resistant surface options can provide additional traction where needed.
