Beverage and Water
Stainless Fabrication for Potable & Sanitary Applications
HFI Manufacturing produces corrosion-resistant components for beverage dispensing, water filtration, brewery, dairy, and bottling equipment OEMs — built to NSF, 3-A, and FDA standards.
Sanitary Fabrication Since 1966
HFI has been welding and finishing stainless steel for food-contact and potable water applications for decades. We understand the stringent requirements of the beverage and water industry — crevice-free welds, passivated surfaces, material traceability, and repeatable finishes across production runs.
Our team works directly with your engineers during prototyping to optimize designs for manufacturability while maintaining full compliance with NSF/ANSI 61, 3-A sanitary standards, and FDA food-contact regulations.

Our Beverage & Water Capabilities
Fabrication processes designed for the vibration, weather, and security requirements of transportation infrastructure.
Food-grade quality with material traceability, passivated finishes, and documented inspections for NSF, 3-A, and FDA-compliant applications.
Fiber laser cuts stainless up to 1/2″ with clean, burr-free edges. No secondary finishing needed for most sanitary surfaces.
Press brakes hold ±0.005″ on critical dimensions. Consistent bends across every piece, every run.
Full-penetration welds with argon purge. Crevice-free, no pits or discoloration. Robotic welding for repeatable high-volume joints.
Sub-assembly, hardware insertion, and leak testing available. Deliver ready-to-install skids and frames that reduce your final assembly time.
#4 brushed finish, mirror polish, electropolishing, and passivation per ASTM A967. Surface roughness below 0.5 µm Ra on wetted surfaces.
From prototypes to production runs — specific components we build for the beverage and water treatment industry.

Materials & Finishes We Work With
Certified materials with full traceability — selected for potable water and food-contact applications.
304 Stainless
Standard food-grade stainless for beverage dispensers and water treatment frames. 16ga — 10ga.
316 Stainless
Superior corrosion resistance for acidic beverages, dairy, and high-chlorine water environments.
Passivated Stainless
Chemical passivation per ASTM A967 removes free iron and restores the chromium oxide layer for maximum corrosion resistance.
Electropolished
Mirror-like finish with micro-radii at edges. Ideal for clean-in-place (CIP) systems and dairy contact surfaces.
How It Works
From drawings to production — our process is built for speed and precision.

Fabrication partners who understand sanitary standards are hard to find. Here’s why customers stay.
NSF/ANSI 61 Compliance
Our finishes and welds consistently pass NSF certification for potable water. No surprises, no rework.
Crevice-Free Welds
Full-penetration TIG welds with back-purging. No pits, no crevices — nothing for bacteria to hide in.
Consistent Runs
CNC repeatability means part 500 matches part 1. Your production line stays running.
DFM Expertise
We help you design for lower cost without compromising compliance. Gauge reductions, weld simplifications, material alternatives.
