Wineries often rely on stainless steel components, such as walkways and corridors, to provide safe employees access to fermenters, presses, and other mechanical processing equipment - but modern glass fiber products have significant advantages over traditional materials when producing high-purity products.
Wine production or winemaking may have been modernized according to mass production to meet the needs of the world market, but the industry still maintains a highly discerning consumer group that requires high quality products. This means that wine must be under strict control of parameters and expertise. The equipment is produced in an environment to ensure that all products are of the highest quality. This keen mind explains the industry's reliance on durable but expensive materials such as stainless steel. However, glass fiber products can reduce the cost of stainless steel plant parts while It will not affect the mechanical and physical requirements of modern health and safety legislation, which will greatly benefit the wine industry.

Stainless steel grids have physical strength and low corrosivity, so their popularity in the wine industry requires continuous rinsing to maintain cleanliness around the fermentation and stamping equipment. However, even alloys used in high-sensitivity environments such as wine production It will also appear corrosive over time. Stainless steel alloys may contain as much as 30% chromium, which gradually oxidizes during repeated use, especially in the presence of water or steam.
Fiberglass products, such as grilles for walkways or handrails, increase corrosion resistance to stainless steel, and provide excellent flexibility around complex individual shapes in fermentors or wine presses.
Strongwell's Safrail system is made of pultruded fiberglass and molded thermoplastic connectors. It is very resistant to corrosive environments, requires little maintenance, and increases plant output and production by reducing industrial downtime. It also provides employees with a safer working environment by providing stable and reliable complex machinery and reducing degradation over time.
The highly corrosion-resistant Safrail system features a circular armrest and a 90° molded corner that eliminates sharp edges and increases overall component safety. This applies primarily to a variety of food and beverage industries because of reduced dirt and dust As a result of the accumulation of particulate matter, the wine industry can obtain significant benefits to improve the cleanliness of the entire plant and ultimately improve the quality of the final product.
