Stainless steel: strategic material
Stainless steel, the most widely used material in the production of wine-making and bottling machines, is particularly valued for the following characteristics:
- Strength and durability: stainless steel offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it possible to build robust machines capable of withstanding the stresses typical of the agricultural environment.
- Hygiene: smooth, easily sanitised surfaces to ensure maximum hygiene during winemaking.
- Versatility: thanks to different alloys and heat treatments, steel can be adapted to a multitude of applications, from structural parts to plough blades and engine components.
- Cost-effectiveness: despite being a noble material, stainless steel is widely available and, in the long run, proves to be an economical choice due to its durability and ease of maintenance.
