FAQ
Can you send samples?
Yes, we can provide a few free samples for customers, but we hope that the shipping cost can be covered by you.
What is the biggest difference between sanitary handles and regular stainless steel handles?
The main difference is not just the stainless steel material, but the hygienic structure. The hygienic handle features a smooth and easy-to-clean shape, a concealed mounting method, and a blue hygienic sealing ring that closes the installation connection area between the handle and the door panel, reducing hygienic dead corners.
Why should blue sealing rings be added to both ends of the handle?
The sealing ring can close the gaps around the mounting hole, reducing the entry of water, cleaning solutions, food residues, and contaminants into the fixed hole. Additionally, the blue color facilitates visual inspection in food production environments.
Why is SUS316L Recommended?
SUS316L offers superior corrosion resistance in environments that are humid, saline, chlorinated, and frequently exposed to cleaning agents, making it more suitable than standard carbon steel or conventional 304 for use in food, dairy, seafood, and pharmaceutical equipment.
