Home > Dairy Fittings > Dairy Reducers
Dairy reducers play a crucial role as sanitary pipe fittings, connecting pipelines of different sizes while ensuring a smooth and hygienic flow in various process systems. Typically crafted from stainless steel grades like 304 and 316L, these reducers find their place in industries such as dairy, food processing, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. They are designed to meet strict hygienic standards, making them easy to clean and highly resistant to corrosion. Available in both concentric and eccentric designs, dairy reducers integrate seamlessly into process lines, with their smooth internal surfaces minimizing the risk of product buildup and ensuring clean, efficient, and contamination-free operations.
Dairy reducers are generally made from SS 304 or SS 316L, both known for their hygienic qualities, formability, and corrosion resistance. Grade 304 consists of about 18% chromium and 8% nickel, while 316L contains 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, which boosts resistance to chlorides and acids. These reducers boast a tensile strength of at least 75,000 psi (515 MPa), a yield strength of at least 30,000 psi (205 MPa), and an elongation of at least 40%. They feature smooth interior finishes (often Ra ≤ 0.8 µm) to meet sanitary requirements and prevent microbial growth or fluid stagnation.

SS 304 Dairy Reducers are commonly used in dairy processing for their excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Typically available in various sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 6″, these reducers ensure reliable performance in sanitary applications. They offer a high level of resistance to oxidation and rust, making them ideal for demanding environments.
Stainless Steel 304L Dairy Fittings Reducers are designed for low-temperature environments and offer enhanced resistance to corrosion and oxidation. They are available in sizes from 1/2″ to 4″ and are known for their low carbon content, which improves weldability and reduces susceptibility to sensitization. These reducers ensure longevity and reliability in dairy processing systems.
SS 316 Dairy Fitting Reducers provide superior corrosion resistance, particularly in environments with higher chloride exposure. They are available in sizes from 1/2″ to 6″ and are ideal for applications requiring high levels of sanitation and durability. Their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion makes them suitable for harsh processing conditions.
Stainless Steel 316L Dairy Reducers are known for their low carbon content, which minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation during welding. They are available in sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 4″ and offer exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments. These reducers are ideal for high-purity dairy applications requiring excellent durability.
SS 90-Degree Dairy Reducers are designed to facilitate smooth transitions at a 90-degree angle within dairy processing systems. Available in sizes from 1/2″ to 4″, they ensure minimal pressure loss and turbulence. Their stainless steel construction provides robust corrosion resistance, making them suitable for demanding dairy environments.
Stainless Steel 304L 45 Deg. Dairy Reducers are engineered for gradual transitions at a 45-degree angle, reducing flow turbulence and improving system efficiency. Sizes range from 1/2″ to 4″, and the 304L stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and weldability. They are perfect for dairy applications requiring both durability and smooth flow.
Dairy reducers are mainly utilized in hygienic and sanitary piping systems across various industries. In the dairy sector, they connect pipelines of different sizes in milk processing and pasteurization units. In food and beverage plants, these reducers ensure a continuous, sanitary fluid flow in systems that handle juices, syrups, beer, and carbonated drinks. In pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing, they facilitate sterile connections in fluid handling systems. Their application also extends to clean-in-place (CIP) processes where hygiene is paramount. Whether they are concentric or eccentric, dairy reducers are essential for maintaining cleanliness and efficiency in operations.
