Maintenance, TIG welding and stainless-steel fabrication for food processing plants and industrial bakeries: conveyors, mixers, ovens, proofers, drains and production equipment.
We draw up the list of work for each line, order parts in advance and prepare a lockout procedure for each machine, as required by the RSST (ss. 188.1 to 188.13). The required permits (hot work, confined space, work at height) are ready before day one. We set the schedule with your production team and your sanitation manager.
Count the tools and removed parts to prevent any foreign matter in the product, clean and sanitize the affected surfaces, then carry out the pre-operational inspection with your quality assurance team. Lockout is removed only once every person has removed their own lock.
Scheduled inspections of conveyors, chains, belts, bearings and gear reducers, replacement of wear parts before they fail, and lubrication with food-grade lubricants (NSF H1) at points that may come into contact with the product. Every intervention is recorded, which makes your food safety audits easier.
It depends on operating hours, the manufacturer's recommendations and the breakdown history of each piece of equipment. We start from your data to set a realistic schedule, then adjust it after the first few months.
Call our 24/7 emergency service at 438-357-8800. The technician locks out the machine, finds the cause, repairs or replaces the part, then restarts the line with your team. You receive a short report: cause, parts replaced and a recommendation to keep the breakdown from recurring.
Not if it is properly controlled: protected area during the work, removal of filings and debris, cleaning, then approval by your quality assurance team before production resumes.
TIG welding produces smooth, continuous, porosity-free beads. As a result, there are no crevices where bacteria can settle. On sanitary piping, we also protect the back of the joint with an inert gas to prevent internal oxidation.
304 is suitable for most dry or mildly corrosive contact surfaces. 316L contains molybdenum: it better resists salt, chlorides and aggressive cleaning products. The "L" (low carbon) limits corrosion near the welds.
Yes, for any welding, cutting or grinding near combustible materials: cardboard, packaging, oils. In a bakery or flour mill, flour and sugar dust is combustible: it must be cleaned up before starting, including on beams and inside ducts.
The location and validity period (no longer than the work shift), a description of the work, the checks made before starting, the name of the fire watch and the signatures. Combustible materials are removed or protected within a 15 m radius. After the work, the fire watch stays in place for at least 1 hour, then the area is checked periodically for at least 4 hours in total. You can download our template below.
