In the food and beverage industry, preventing bacterial growth and contamination is critical. Fasteners must be non-toxic, non-porous, and capable of withstanding daily washdowns with aggressive cleaning chemicals.
SRG Fasteners supplies highly polished SS 304 and SS 316 bolts, acorn nuts, and sanitary fittings that leave no crevices for bacteria to hide, strictly adhering to FDA and hygienic design standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use acorn (dome) nuts in food processing?
Acorn nuts cover the exposed threads of a bolt. Exposed threads are very difficult to clean and can harbor bacteria. A smooth dome nut provides a hygienic, easy-to-wipe surface.
