From Our Clients:
An Industry Partner for Over 50 Years
We’re not just here to sell you a drain but are ready to support you as a partner. The AWI team is here to walk with you through your journey from design to installation, manufacturing to packaging, maintenance to replacement, and everything in between.
Keeping Your Production Floor Sanitary
The drains in your commercial food processing plant can harbor listeria and other harmful bacteria, so you need a system that’s sanitary and easy to clean. We only use corrosion- and bacteria-resistant T-304 or T-316 stainless steel for our drains to ensure those bad bacteria build-ups are a thing of the past. AWI’s products are NSF Certified, meet 3A SSI Standards, and can easily tolerate daily high-temperature or acidic cleanings.
Enduring the High Demands of Meat Processing
On any given day, your production floor sees a lot of foot and machinery traffic. Your drains must be strong and durable. That’s why we use a thicker 12-gauge stainless steel for all our drains and prioritize quality in our constructions. Rated for heavy equipment use (10,000# per ASME 112.6.3), your new drain system will last for generations.
