Which stainless steel grade do you use?
Food-contact parts are SS 304 (18/8) as standard, in 16 or 18 SWG depending on the part. For coastal sites, seafood kitchens and chemical cleaning we recommend SS 316. Every unit is TIG-welded and finished satin.

What power and gas supply does it need in Sri Lanka?
Supply in Sri Lanka is 230 V / 400 V, 50 Hz and kitchens commonly use LPG. We build electrical items for that voltage and frequency and fit the right gas jets before shipping.
