Ultra-Smooth, Sanitary Stainless Steel Tubes for High-Purity Processing Lines
Inox Steel India is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Pharma-grade & Food-grade Electropolished (EP) Tubes, engineered to meet the highest requirements of purity, hygiene, and corrosion resistance. These tubes undergo mechanical polishing + electrochemical electropolishing, producing an extremely smooth, reflective, micro-clean internal and external surface.
Electropolished tubes are essential for industries where zero contamination, microbial resistance, high purity, and sterile processing are mandatory. Our EP tubes meet pharmaceutical & food-grade expectations such as:
EP tubes are the backbone of biotech, pharmaceutical, clean steam, CIP/SIP lines, purified water (PW), WFI, food, dairy, and beverage systems.
Electropolishing (EP) is an advanced electrochemical process that removes a microscopic layer from the tube’s interior & exterior surfaces.
All tubes are supplied with full traceability, Ra values, and polishing data sheets.
Electropolished tubes are used in ultra-hygienic, sterile, and high-purity processing environments, where the internal surface must remain smooth, microbe-resistant, and chemically inert. EP tubes achieve: Ra ≤ 0.4–0.8 µm, zero contamination, and excellent CIP/SIP sterilization performance.
🔹 Pharma & Biotech Applications (ASME BPE Compatible)
| Application | Media | Industry |
|---|---|---|
| WFI Distribution | Water for Injection | Pharma |
| UPW/HPW/PW Lines | Ultra-Pure Water | Biotech |
| CIP/SIP Systems | Caustic · Sterilants · Steam | Pharma |
| Clean Steam Lines | Clean saturated steam | Sterile Plants |
| API Process Skids | Solvents · Solutions | Biotech |
| Fermentation Lines | Media feed | Vaccines/Bio-Processing |
Why EP Tubes? Micro-smooth surfaces → no biofilm formation → highest hygiene level.
🔹 Food, Dairy & Beverage Applications (Sanitary Grade)
| Application | Media | Industry |
|---|---|---|
| Dairy Transfer Lines | Milk, whey, cream | Dairy |
| Beverage Processing | Juices, syrups | FMCG |
| Carbonation Lines | CO₂, beverage mix | Beverage |
| Brewery Systems | Beer, yeast, water | Breweries |
| Pasteurizer Piping | Hot water, steam | Food Processing |
Why EP Tubes? No scaling, no metallic taste, no microbial growth.
🔹 Semiconductor & High-Purity Electronic Industry
| Application | Media | Industry |
|---|---|---|
| UPW Lines | Ultrapure water | Semiconductor |
| Clean Gas Lines | High-purity N₂, O₂, Ar | Electronics |
| Chemical Delivery | HF, HCl, solvents | PCB Manufacturing |
Why EP Tubes? Mirror-clean ID prevents particle release — critical for IC manufacturing.
