Brewery beer equipment production requires high-quality structural steel fabrication to meet the high hygienic requirements for beer brewing. However, it's critical high purity tools and accessories are used, along with the correct welding process to reduce the possibility of beer contamination. Here is a guide to common welding processes used for breweries. 

What Are the Most Common Types of Welding for Brewery Equipment?

1. Manual Arc

Manual arc welding is one of the most widely used methods for structural steel fabrication. It is easy to ensure quality and precision with flexible operation. The arc generated between the electrode and the workpiece is heated to achieve a molten state. The materials fuse together after cooling and crystallizing. 

2. Automatic Submerged Arc

This style of welding is mainly used for welding of austenitic stainless steel medium and thick plates. It provides large welding current, large penetration, and small grooves. It is known for it's speed and high production efficiency, which reduce the likelihood of pores in the weld. For a welder, this option is easy to operate and simple. 

3. Tungsten Inert Gas Shielded Electric

Tungsten inert gas shielded electric welding is divided into three types—manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. This type of welding is extremely common for stainless steel. It does not produce spatter and is effective for all position welding.
