Specialized Fabrication Equipment

Steel fabrication begins with project requirements, drawings, or application details, followed by engineering review and material selection. McBrady Engineering supports design, fabrication, TIG welding, assembly, testing, and delivery for custom equipment and assemblies. Passivation is performed on every weld, while inspection methods, surface finishes, documentation, and applicable safety or industry requirements should be specified for each project.

Available materials include type 304 stainless steel, type 316L stainless steel, mild steel, and approved plastics. Delrin and Lexan are also identified for specific machine components and enclosures. Material selection should reflect the process environment, washdown requirements, corrosion exposure, hygiene expectations, structural needs, and any documentation requirements established in the project specification.

McBrady Engineering places an emphasis on TIG welding and performs passivation on every weld. Pharmaceutical-grade welding is available upon request. Buyers should define required weld inspection methods, welding records, passivation records, material certificates, surface-finish expectations, and any applicable sanitary or pharmaceutical documentation before fabrication begins.

Yes. The fabrication and engineering services support prototypes, one-off solutions, custom assemblies, bespoke line modifications, and equipment developed for problems that catalogue machinery cannot address. The scope may include concept development, 3D modelling, drawings, finite element analysis, fabrication, assembly, testing, and delivery, subject to project requirements and technical review.

Applications include beverage, brewery, distillery, winery, food-processing, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, laboratory, chemical, household, personal-care, contract-packaging, packaging OEM, and systems-integration projects. Equipment may support container cleaning, container handling, filling, packaging, washdown, sanitary processing, line modifications, or specialized industrial operations. Final materials, controls, safety features, and documentation should be specified for the application.

Useful information includes drawings, models, photographs, equipment dimensions, conveyor height, container or product details, operating requirements, materials, washdown conditions, controls, safety expectations, required standards, and documentation needs. McBrady Engineering provides project consultation, engineering support, and quotation assistance. Pricing is available by quotation after the application and scope have been reviewed.
