Fabrication Services From American Alloy Fabricators

American Alloy Fabricators is known for its commitment to precision in every aspect of our fabrication process. Below are the fabrication services we provide to our valued clients:

Custom Stainless Steel Fabrication

Custom stainless steel fabrication is a specialized manufacturing process in which stainless steel parts or components are designed, cut, shaped, and assembled. It uses cutting-edge technology to design custom structures. This method enables precise engineering, guaranteeing that finished products meet design, functional, and quality requirements.

Here are the different types of stainless steel fabrication techniques we offer:

Sheet metal fabrication

Pressure vessels:

This shapes and forms metal sheets into desired parts, components, or products through cutting, bending, and assembling processes.

Welding

metal welding

This joins materials — typically metals — by applying heat, pressure, or both, resulting in a permanent bond between the parts.

Machining and cutting

These remove material from a workpiece to achieve diverse shapes, dimensions, or surface finishes using specialized tools like lathes, mills, or saws.

Tube bending

Using bending machines or dies, this shapes metal tubes or pipes into specific curves, angles, or shapes.

Stamping

Hot jet engine - inconel application

This uses a die to deform or cut sheet metal into a desired shape or pattern by applying pressure through a press.

Pressure Vessel Design & Manufacturing

Pressure vessel manufacturing involves the fabrication of containers designed to hold fluids or gases at high pressures. This process requires adherence to strict engineering standards and regulations to ensure safety and reliability. Manufacturers use various materials — including carbon steel, stainless steel, or exotic alloys — depending on the vessel’s application and operating conditions.

Our high-quality pressure vessels are mostly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, food, and dairy facilities. Their specific applications include the following:

  • Jacketed reactors
  • Reactors
  • Mixing vessels
  • Distillation towers
  • Autoclaves
  • Vacuum tanks

Pilot plant vessels are specialized containers or equipment used in research and development settings to conduct experiments and trials. They are specifically engineered to replicate industrial operations at reduced levels. This allows researchers and engineers to test new technologies, processes, or products before full-scale production.

Listed below are other goals of pilot plant vessel design and manufacturing from American Alloy Fabricators:

  • Cost reduction

    Cost reduction

    By addressing issues or inefficiencies at the pilot plant stage, manufacturers can avoid costly mistakes and optimize resource utilization during large-scale production.
  • Risk mitigation

    Risk mitigation

    Pilot plant vessels help mitigate risks associated with scaling up new processes by providing insights into performance, reliability, and safety under controlled conditions.
  • Innovation

    Innovation

    The versatility of pilot plant vessels facilitates innovation by enabling experimentation with novel ideas, materials, or techniques.
  • Regulatory compliance

    Regulatory compliance

    Pilot plant testing ensures compliance with regulatory standards by allowing manufacturers to assess potential environmental, health, and safety concerns.
  • Flexibility

    Flexibility

    Pilot plant vessels offer the flexibility to adapt and iterate on designs quickly, allowing manufacturers to respond promptly to feedback.
  • Competitive advantage

    Competitive advantage

    Effective pilot plant manufacturing can provide a competitive edge by accelerating the development cycle and reducing time-to-market for new products.
  • Sustainability

    Sustainability

    Pilot plant testing enables manufacturers to explore and implement sustainable practices, such as waste reduction and energy efficiency improvements.

Storage Tank Manufacturing

Storage tanks are specialized containers that hold liquids, gases, or bulk materials for short-term or long-term storage. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, depending on the type of substance being stored and the specific application requirements. They are also widely used in oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and food and beverage production.

American Alloy Fabricators offers the following types of storage tanks:

  • Vertical storage tanks
  • Horizontal storage tanks
  • Single-walled storage tanks
  • Double-walled storage tanks

Process Piping Fabrication

Process piping systems are networks of pipes, fittings, valves, and other components that transport fluids or gases within industrial facilities. They are designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments while ensuring the safe transport of materials throughout the facility. This makes them integral to oil and gas, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical processes.

Below are the essential components required for process piping systems:

  • Flanges
  • Gaskets
  • Pipes
  • Pressure Hoses
  • Separators
  • Strainers
  • Tubing
  • Valves

Pressure & Nutsche Filter Manufacturing

Pressure and Nutsche filters are specialized devices used to separate solids from liquids or slurries in the chemical processing and pharmaceutical sectors. Pressure filters force the liquid through a filter medium, retaining the solids within the filter. On the other hand, Nutsche filters feature a perforated filter plate within a vessel. This allows them to filter the liquid while retaining solids on top for subsequent drying or further processing.

American Alloy Fabricators offers pressure and Nutsche filters in various materials, including Hastelloy, stainless steel, Inconel, and Alloy 20. Below are the different types available:

  • Mixers
  • Temperature controls
  • Jacketing
  • Valving
  • Porting
  • Sight portals
  • Mechanical or electropolished finishes
  • Alternative coatings

Reactor Pressure Vessel Manufacturing

Reactor pressure vessels are robust containers that can endure high pressures and temperatures during chemical reactions or industrial processes. They house the reaction mixture and offer a controlled setup for chemical reactions to occur safely and efficiently. These vessels are often used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and nuclear power generation industries.

American Alloy Fabricators fabricates the following types of reactors to our clients' specifications while ensuring compliance with rigorous ASME requirements:

Jacketed reactors

jacketed-reactor

These feature an outer shell surrounding the vessel to provide a space for temperature control fluids, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.

Conventional jacketed reactors

These utilize a single jacket around the vessel for temperature control, commonly used in pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries.

Half-pipe jacket reactors

Pharmaceutical

These have welded half-pipe coils outside the vessel for improved heat transfer, suitable for high-viscosity applications in the food and beverage industry.

Dimple jacketed reactors
