Spurred on by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/commercial-kitchen-equipment-appliances-market\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">recent growth of the travel and tourism industries<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the surge in popularity of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/commercial-kitchen-appliances-market\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">fast-food restaurants<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, appliance manufacturers are expected to ramp up the output of their products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, as manufacturers not just in this industry but in many others aim to prioritise energy efficiency and product longevity, it\u2019s easy to lose sight of some of the most important parts \u2013 standard fasteners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fasteners can account for a significant number of a product\u2019s parts, and they can have a high impact on product performance. To avoid costly regular maintenance and even product failure, it\u2019s crucial manufacturers prioritise using parts that are not only durable, but able to perform in hot, wet environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What kinds of fasteners do commercial kitchen appliances use?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Commercial kitchen equipment comprises a range of products, from weighty 8-burner ovens to glasswashers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most commercial kitchen appliances don\u2019t need highly engineered solutions and can be produced using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/international.optimas.com\/en_gb\/supply-chain-solutions\/optimise-your-inventory\/optitech-inventory-management\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">standard fasteners<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, but these parts still need to be optimised for use. For example, fasteners used in an oven that can achieve 250<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00b0C will need to be able to withstand considerable heat, whereas a fastener used in a dishwashing application will need to achieve excellent corrosion resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here are some examples of key materials and coatings used for fasteners for commercial kitchen appliances:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stainless Steel<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stainless steel is a standard material for fasteners used in wet environments. Steel\u2019s corrosion and stain resistance capabilities can be further enhanced by combining it with chromium and nickel, also making it resistant to abrasion and staining caused by chemical cleaning products. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Galvanised Zinc<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"3\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While zinc coatings also provide excellent corrosion resistance to steels, it brings the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. Galvanised zinc, on the other hand, provides some of the best corrosion resistance to steel fasteners, as its alternative application method avoids the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement. Galvanised zinc-coated fasteners are therefore well-suited to use in dishwashing or sink applications.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nickel-based Alloys<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nickel-based alloys are very resistant to heat, making them optimised for use in high-temperature cooking environments. Combining nickel with steel also creates very durable and corrosion-resistant fasteners for commercial kitchen appliances.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fasteners for commercial kitchen appliances come in a range of finishes, head styles, thread pitches and sizes.
