Precision grinding, superior wear resistance: voestalpine steel for perfect efficiency
In the Food & Beverage industry, grinding processes are fundamental to transforming raw materials into high-quality final products, from fine flours and aromatic spices to processed meats and infant foods. However, these operations are inherently abrasive and demand components that withstand extreme wear, while maintaining grinding consistency and product purity.
At voestalpine High Performance Metals, our expertise translates into steel solutions that elevate the durability and performance of your grinding tools. We have developed and refined steel grades offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and impact, even in the most corrosive and demanding environments. This directly translates into extended equipment lifespan, fewer maintenance interruptions, and uniform grinding quality you can trust.
Discover how our leading brands—BÖHLER, Uddeholm, and Villares Metals—provide you with the highest-performance steels, engineered to overcome grinding challenges and take your productivity to the next level.
