Stainless steel manifold for food production

INO Automation manufactures a precise 316L stainless steel manifold for a Finnish–Swedish ice-cream plant. Machined to drawing — with a signed contract to supply 500 units.

The task

A Finnish–Swedish ice-cream plant needed a 316L stainless steel manifold — a distribution block with several threaded ports and mounting flanges, made to drawing and identical from unit to unit.

In a food environment the material and finish must meet hygiene requirements — hence 316L stainless — and the part has to be precise, so threads and port dimensions match on every single piece.

The solution

We produce the manifold with precise machining in 316L stainless steel: the body, several threaded ports and mounting flanges. The part is set up for repeatable serial production — the same quality and dimensions across the whole batch.

  • Machined to drawing — body, ports, threads, flanges
  • 316L stainless steel — suitable for a food / ice-cream environment
  • Repeatable serial production with consistent quality
  • A signed contract to supply 500 units

Scope of work

  1. Drawing and sample. Firming up geometry, ports and threads with the client.
  2. Prototype. A first piece for approval — dimensions, threads, finish.
  3. Serial production. Repeatable manufacturing with a consistent result across the batch.
  4. Delivery. Supplying 500 units under the contract.

Why it matters

This is not a one-off order but a serial supply to an export client in ice-cream production — where material compliance, precision and repeatability matter. It shows INO Automation can not only supply components but also manufacture parts to drawing in series, at a quality trusted with a 500-unit contract.

Need a part made to drawing or sample?

Stainless, aluminium, a batch or a single piece — send a drawing or a photo and we’ll quote it.

Precise ports and threads

Several threaded ports and mounting flanges — identical on every piece.

FAQ

On machining and serial production

Do you make parts to drawing or from a sample?

Yes. We work both from a drawing and from a physical sample. In this project we manufacture a stainless steel manifold in series to the client’s specification.

Can you produce in series, not just a single piece?

Yes. For this client there is a signed contract for 500 units with repeatable quality and dimensions across the whole batch. We can cover anything from a single prototype to a series.

Why 316L stainless steel for food?

316L is an austenitic stainless steel with high corrosion resistance and hygiene — widely used in food and ice-cream production where the material contacts the product. We select the material and finish to the client’s requirements and industry standards.

Do you also deliver outside Latvia?

Yes. This manifold is supplied to a Finnish–Swedish ice-cream plant. We work with clients across the EU.
