Carbon Steel & Stainless Steel
Zero Contamination. By Design.
Material Separation
Separated at Every Level.
Rouging, the contamination of stainless steel with iron particles from carbon steel, is one of the most common quality failures in pharma fabrication. Separation is not a procedure here. It is a physical reality built into the production.
Carbon steel and stainless steel are fabricated in entirely separate halls. The two productions never share a space, a tool or a person. Moving between zones in workwear is strictly prohibited.
Platforms. Pipe Bridges. Primary & Secondary Steel.
Separate facilities
Carbon steel fabrication takes place in a dedicated hall. Pipes, fittings and components never enter the stainless steel production.
Dedicated tools and equipment
Every welder is assigned personal, marked tools permanently allocated to one zone and never transferred.
One material per person
No employee works with both materials. Carbon steel workers wear purple, with "I only work with carbon steel" on the back. Stainless steel workers wear black.
Welding and grinding procedures
Welding follows dedicated WPS procedures for carbon steel. Chips and dust are removed systematically to protect the stainless steel production.
Contamination Control
Visible Separation. Documented Control.
Before leaving the carbon steel zone, workers blow down clothing and equipment with compressed air. Consumables including electrodes, wire and shielding gases are stored and used exclusively in the carbon steel zone.
Materials are stored in a separate marked area, transported on dedicated trolleys and covered when stored outdoors.
Documentation and Maintenance
Audit-Ready by Default.
Workstations are cleaned daily using extraction systems. Every set of workwear is labelled and stored separately. All cleanliness checks and revision reports are archived and forwarded to the quality department.
Every separation requirement forms part of the mandatory training completed before starting work in the carbon steel zone.
