S/03 · Why Stellex

Six trust markers.

What leading food & beverage brands rely on us for — on every project, from quotation through commissioning.

T/01

Food-grade construction

SS 304/316 stainless steel, FDA-compliant gaskets, and food-safe seals.

T/02

Hygienic design

Polished internal surfaces (Ra < 0.8 μm) minimise residue build-up and enable fast cleaning.

T/03

Dust-tight & safe

Fully enclosed designs with ATEX compliance for fine powders like flour and sugar.

T/04

Custom-built

Screw geometry, pitch, and speed tailored for your product — from cocoa powder to milk curd.

T/05

Easy to clean

CIP compatibility, quick-disassembly covers, and minimal residue loss between changeovers.

T/06

Compliance-ready

Documentation and design aligned with ISO 22000, GMP, HACCP, and FDA standards.
