With countless satisfied clients from sectors including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food and beverages, chemicals, and cosmetics, AFI has a proven track record for exceptional craftsmanship and reliable service. Whatever your stainless steel fabrication needs, you can count on us to deliver.
Our services include:
Laser Cutting
Using computer-aided laser cutting, we can create stainless steel fabrications to precise specifications and high-quality standards. Laser cutting helps to minimize warping and leave clean, hygienically cut edges ideal for facilities designed to avoid contamination.
Bending
Through our metal bending capabilities, we can shape and press stainless steel to a range of specifications, creating stainless steel fabrications accurately and efficiently. This technique enables us to fabricate components with a smoother finished products.
Shearing
Our shearing processes ensure a smooth, even, and safe finish to our fabrications by removing unwanted material with a precise cut. Shearing is fast and efficient, with no need to heat the metal before cutting and less waste created than other fabrication processes.
Sheet Rolling
AFI offers high-quality, precise stainless steel sheet rolling services. Through sheet rolling, we can create rolled, curved, or cylindrical stainless steel fabrications and components to your exact requirements, either as one-off fabrications or bulk productions.
CNC Milling
Through CNC milling, we can create stainless steel fabrications and components with extreme precision. What’s more, CNC milling enables high levels of consistency and repeatability in bulk orders, meaning our high-quality CNC milling capabilities are perfect for large orders of identical components.
CNC & Manual Lathe
We offer both CNC and manual lathing services, giving our clients a range of options for components requiring lathing. CNC lathing enables highly accurate and precise fabrication of components in bulk, while manual lathing offers a more cost-efficient option ideal for clients on a tighter budget.
No matter which option you choose, you can be sure that our lathing services will lead to a high-quality, reliable stainless steel fabrication perfect for your needs.
Surface Grinding
To ensure a smooth, refined finish and remove impurities, we employ a range of surface grinding techniques for our stainless steel fabrications. Using an abrasive wheel, surface grinding allows us to create a precise finish on our fabrications, removing small amounts of material to leave a smooth surface cut to highly accurate dimensions.
Welding
Our highly experienced welding team prides itself on precise, high-quality welding to exceptional standards of craftsmanship. Using a range of welding techniques, we can create standard and custom stainless steel fabrications to a variety of requirements and specifications. Whatever your fabrication needs, AFI’s welding team can meet them.
Belt Polishing
For stainless steel fabrications requiring different type of polishes from 180 grit to Mirror finish we use belt polishing to prepare the surface of our fabrications for the required finish. Our expert fabricators are highly skilled in selecting the appropriate belt grain for your required finish and polishing stainless steel products to the exact standard needed to meet your process needs.
Assembly
Not only can our expert fabrication team create individual stainless steel components and fabricated parts, we are also highly skilled in designing, manufacturing and assembling entire equipment and systems, to provide the perfect solution for your business.
