Sheet metal fabrication in the food industry is used to create many types of products and systems for restaurants and food production facilities. Food industry fabrication is a niche in which few metal fabricators can meet the needs of their customers–but not at KRYTON. We utilize top-notch materials, ISO-certified methodologies, and a Proven Process to streamline metal fabrication projects and deliver on-time excellence consistently.

Fabricate Food Equipment

KRYTON is a full-scale fabrication facility offering practical solutions to innovative ideas. Our experts can turn complicated concepts into functional components using a full suite of manufacturing methodologies. From rapid prototyping (RP) and non-destructive testing (NDT) to hand spinning and parts assembly. 

Our teams specialize in manufacturing food industry equipment and supplies components for the baking and food processing industry. We also set the standard for metal finishing, welding, and rapid assembly. Plus, our approach encourages collaboration between end-users, engineers, and vendors, ensuring the most efficient outcomes.

Our Proven Process means food industry workers can produce consistent quality within the four primary areas of metal manufacturing:

Prototyping & Modeling

Create the most practical ag parts with a realistic simulation analysis using our 2D and 3D CAD software.

Forming & Tubing

Fabricate cylindrical metal tubing to achieve air-tight or water-tight food industry components.

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Reap the benefits of laser cutting to achieve ultra-clean edges and tight tolerances.

Finishing & Assembly

Develop corrosion-resistant components when you prep, treat, and coat food components.
