Sheet Metal Fabrication for Food & Beverage
K-Display provides sheet metal fabrication for food and beverage equipment: stainless and coated-steel housings, panels, frames, control enclosures, and self-service cabinets built to the drawings of foodservice equipment OEMs and food-processing equipment builders. Sanitary design lives in your drawing. We cut, form, weld, and finish to its callouts.
How we contribute
Food and beverage equipment is a stainless product with a sheet-metal skeleton. Cooking, prep, refrigeration, dispensing, and processing lines each need housings, guards, panels, frames, and control enclosures around the working parts. Commercial foodservice equipment OEMs and food-processing equipment builders design those parts against their sanitary requirements, and most of the metal on the machine is non-product-contact.
Sheet metal fabrication for food and beverage equipment at K-Display covers both kinds of part, built to your print: the non-contact housings, frames, and enclosures that make up most of the bill of materials, and the stainless product-zone parts whose finish, welds, and corner radii your drawing calls out. We cut, form, weld, install hardware, apply graphics, and assemble. Powder coating covers the parts your design paints. Stainless parts ship in the mill or ground finish you specify.
What we make for food and beverage equipment
Typical part families, built to your print.
- Equipment housings and skins
- Stainless outer panels, wraps, and door skins for cooking, prep, and refrigeration equipment, with grain direction and visible faces called out.
- Hoppers, chutes, and guards
- Formed stainless transitions, covers, and machine guards for processing and packaging lines, built to the contact-surface callouts on the drawing.
- Equipment frames and stands
- Welded stainless or coated-steel frames, legs, and stands with sealed tube ends and the leveling-foot interfaces your design specifies.
- Control and junction enclosures
- Stainless or coated enclosures for line controls, with entry patterns, gasket lands, and sloped tops where the design requires them.
- Vending and self-order cabinets
- Cabinet bodies, doors, device panels, and internal mounts for vending machines and self-order kiosks, built around the dispensing and payment modules.
- Dispensing and service panels
- Bezels, drip-tray surrounds, access panels, and mounting plates around dispensers, valves, and service points.
What food and beverage jobs require
Each item is something you specify and we build to.
- Sanitary design callouts from your specification
- NSF/ANSI 2 and 3-A are requirements you carry on the drawing. Mark which surfaces are product-contact and the finish, weld, and radius rules that apply to them.
- Stainless grade and finish
- State 304 or 316, the sheet finish (2B mill or No. 4), grain direction on visible faces, and whether welds on contact surfaces are ground flush and blended.
- Welds and corners that clean
- Continuous welds, coved internal corners, and sealed tube frames are drawing decisions. Show the weld type, the corner radius, and which seams must be closed.
- Wash-down and corrosion exposure
- Define the cleaning chemistry, wash-down pressure, and temperature the part sees so material, finish, and hardware can be reviewed against it.
- Material certification and traceability
- If your specification requires mill certifications, heat-number traceability, or segregated stainless handling, state it at quote so it is reviewed with the scope.
- Hardware and gasket interfaces
- Hinges, latches, gaskets, and leveling feet on food equipment are specified parts. Send part numbers so hole preparation and finish compatibility match.
How the work runs
Food equipment programs mix stainless product-zone parts with painted structure. The sequence keeps them straight.
Review the contact-surface callouts
We read the drawing set for product-contact surfaces, finish grades, weld requirements, and the hardware and gasket interfaces before releasing parts.
Fabricate to the finish
Stainless parts are cut, formed, and welded with visible faces and contact surfaces protected. Coated-steel parts move to powder coating with masking defined.
Assemble, label, and pack
Hardware, graphics, and subassembly follow. Parts are packed so visible stainless faces arrive unmarked.
