TFG Austline, a company of stainless steel fabricators and specialised welders, which is accredited by the Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA), has been commissioned to install new brewhouse and fermentation equipment for Little Creatures Brewery, based in Fremantle, Western Australia. The fabricators and welders completed the project over five months. They installed 25 vessels, 5km worth of stainless steel pipework, heat exchangers, and over 3000 fittings and valves. According to Little Creatures, it specified stainless steel for the work because of its corrosion resistance properties and low maintenance requirements. The micro-biological stability of stainless steel was also factored in as providing a high level of sanitation and low risk of contamination. TFG Austline used Grades 304 and 316 stainless steel, depending on the application and product being carried.
