Fabrication for food processing plants.
Food plants run on stainless—and on fabrication details that decide whether equipment can actually be cleaned. A & P builds sanitary stainless equipment, washdown-zone support steel, guards, platforms and replacement parts for food processors across Wisconsin and the Midwest, with AWS D1.6 certified welders on every stainless joint.
SANITARY STAINLESS
Continuous, cleanable TIG welds, smooth blended finishes and drainable designs in 304 and 316 stainless. What sanitary fabrication really means.
WASHDOWN SUPPORT STEEL
Frames, stands, platforms and guards detailed for washdown zones—sealed tube ends, sloped surfaces, no water traps.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Augers, flights, chutes, paddles and wear parts duplicated or upgraded—drawings kept on file for the next changeover. Wear parts service.
Quick Answers
Food plant questions.
What stainless grade should food equipment use?
Type 304 covers most food-plant service; 316 steps in for harsher chemical or high-chloride exposure. Our 304 vs. 316 comparison covers the decision.
Can existing equipment be made more cleanable?
Often yes—replacing stitch welds with continuous welds, sealing crevices and reworking ponding surfaces are common sanitary upgrades.
Do you fabricate to our plant standards?
Yes—send your sanitary standards and product-zone boundaries with the RFQ and we build to them.
Do you serve plants outside the Fox Valley?
Yes—food processors across Wisconsin and the Midwest, from our Appleton shop.

Stainless resists corrosion because of an invisible chromium-oxide layer. Welding disturbs that layer, and post-weld cleanup is how fabricators restore it.
