Engineered for commercial-grade durability, heat-retention performance, and strict regulatory compliance.
Unveiling metallurgical parameters, regulatory compliances, and mechanical structural configurations required for global supply chains.
In B2B hospitality, airline catering, and institutional foodservice, a serving tray is not merely a utility; it is a critical Food Contact Material (FCM). CE Certification denotes compliance with European Union harmonized standards—specifically Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, which mandates that materials must not release their constituents into food in quantities that endanger human health or bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food.
For custom engineered trays, the CE marking verifies adherence to EN 10204 3.1 material traceability, ensuring that from raw hot-rolled stainless steel coils to the finished high-polished tray, chemical composition is verified via Mill Test Certificates (MTC). These strict guidelines eliminate risks related to heavy metal leaching (such as nickel or chromium) under acidic food conditions, protecting global brands from regulatory recalls and supply chain disruption.
| Alloy Grade | Chemical Composition (Nominal) | Corrosion Resistance | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Ideal Application Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AISI 304 (EN 1.4301) | 18% Cr, 8% Ni | Excellent (Organic acids, sanitizers) | 505 - 600 | Commercial banquet trays, hospital food prep, GN pans |
| AISI 316 (EN 1.4401) | 16% Cr, 10% Ni, 2% Mo | Superior (Marine environment, high chloride salts) | 515 - 620 | Offshore rig catering, ultra-harsh environment food processing |
| AISI 430 (EN 1.4016) | 16-18% Cr (Ferritic) | Moderate (Dry service conditions) | 450 - 550 | High-volume economy fast-food serving trays, magnetic base ware |
By controlling chromium-nickel dispersion and cold-pressing pressure, our trays maintain a high elastic limit. This ensures zero flexing or buckling when loaded with up to 15 kg of weight, reducing spill hazards.
Post-pressing, our trays undergo nitric or citric acid chemical passivation. This micro-layer removal of free iron creates a dense chromium oxide layer, dramatically improving resistance to pitting corrosion.
All serving trays feature double-folded safety wire edges (roll-rims) or open rolled edges. This minimizes hand fatigue, prevents bacterial collection points, and optimizes dishwasher cleaning efficiency.
