What Is Embossed Stainless Steel?
Embossed stainless steel is a steel sheet that has been specially processed to reduce frictional resistance and smooth sliding.
Since the processing increases strength, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the plate even if the strength is the same. This contributes to weight reduction and cost reduction.
This technology is utilized to prevent accidents involving falls and to create a clean environment.
Uses of Embossed Stainless Steel
Embossed stainless steel is used to reduce frictional resistance to facilitate smooth movement.
Examples of applications include shooters and hoppers in rice milling machines, shooters in automatic weighing machines, runner tables in bagging machines, shooters in presses, and shooters in vending machines. They are also used as runner table guides in photo developing machines, shelves in refrigerated showcases, bottom plates in showcases, and slides in parks.
They are also used in runner tables of packaging machines, runner tables of printing machines, and runner tables of bookbinding machines to prevent film and paper from sticking together due to static electricity.

Features of Embossed Stainless Steel
Embossed stainless steel prevents film and paper from sticking due to static electricity, making pickup from the board easier. It slides smoothly due to lowered frictional resistance.
Due to the characteristics of the processed shape, the effect of improved friction is more effective when the contact is with a surface than when it is with a point or line. This technology can be used in the opposite direction to achieve the anti-slip function by increasing frictional resistance.
Being made of stainless steel, it has high corrosion resistance and improves scratch resistance before and after processing.
The embossing process, which makes the surface convex and concave, increases strength, allowing the plate thickness to be reduced even if the strength is the same. Thinner plate thickness contributes to weight reduction and cost reduction.
Design is excellent, and patterns, company names, product names, and marks can be drawn on the surface of the steel sheet, with line widths as small as 0.2 mm.
Various forming processes are also possible, including bending, close bending, drilling, spot welding, Tig welding, and pipe forming. Depending on the processed shape, the main steel plate thicknesses range from 0.25 to 2.0 mm.
