Horeca White Goods Enclosure
In the White Goods (home appliances) and HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering) industries, sheet metal fabrication is essential for creating durable, hygienic, and structurally sound components. While White Goods focus on consumer-facing aesthetics and mass-production efficiency, HoReCa requires heavy-duty, professional-grade parts designed for high-intensity use and strict sanitary compliance.
Common Sheet Metal Parts in White Goods
White goods like refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens rely on high-precision stamped and formed parts.
Exterior Cabinets and Panels :
Washing Machine Components : Includes specialized structural parts such as :
-
Cabinet Gussets : Corner reinforcements used to strengthen the main body frame.
-
Motor & Mounting Plates : Heavy-gauge plates used to secure drive motors and assembly units.
-
Tub-Support Assemblies : Critical for mounting internal tubs securely.
-
Brake Drums & Fix Plates : Vital components for the mechanical braking systems in semi-automatic models.
Refrigerator Parts :
Oven and Cooker Parts :
-
Wire Racks and Trays : Often made of Hotpoint Stainless Steel or chrome-plated metal for heat resistance.
-
Inner Cavity Liners : Formed from ferritic stainless steel (like Grade 430) for magnetic properties and heat durability.
Common Sheet Metal Parts in HoReCa
HoReCa equipment must withstand caustic environments and constant cleaning, leading to a heavy reliance on 304 and 316 grade stainless steel.
Commercial Kitchen Furniture :
Ventilation and Exhaust Hoods :
Specialized Food Service Equipment :
-
Bain Maries & Pots : Vollrath Stainless Steel Pots are typically made from 300-series stainless steel for maximum hygiene and corrosion resistance.
-
Range Hoods and Splashbacks : Often feature brass or copper for high-end aesthetic appeal and antimicrobial properties.
-
Bottom Panels & Utility Containers : oFrequently made from galvanized steel for cost-effectiveness in less visible, moisture-prone areas like the legs of work tables.
