When you invest in a kurkure line, chips fryer, or namkeen plant, the stainless steel grade on product contact parts decides hygiene, machine life, and maintenance cost.
What is SS 304?
SS 304 is an austenitic stainless steel with high chromium and nickel. It resists corrosion in hot oil, handles cleaning chemicals, and stays food-safe for years of daily production.
Why cheaper grades fail in snack plants
Lower grades like SS 202 cost less upfront but pit and rust faster in salty, oily snack environments. Repair downtime and product quality risk often cost more than the initial saving.
What we build at Shiv Food Engineering
Every fryer, seasoning drum, conveyor, and trolley from our Noida unit uses SS 304 on product contact surfaces. Buyers can verify this during a factory inspection before payment.
Who should read this
Snack startups in Ghaziabad, growing namkeen brands in Bihar, and export-oriented units in Gujarat all benefit from documented SS 304 build quality for audits and buyer confidence.
