Materials of Construction

Multotec uses 430 stainless steel in abrasive applications. This is a ferritic steel with no nickel that has a high abrasion resistance and good wedgability.
Multotec uses 340 stainless steel for corrosive applications.
316 stainless steel is available on request for highly corrosive applications.
Profiles
The profiles of the longitudinal wires determines the shape and size of the downward opening slot and affects the extent t which slots remain open.
