Dairy Bends
What are Dairy Bends?
Dairy Bends are curved sanitary fittings used to redirect flow in hygienic piping systems. These bends are engineered for 90°, 45°, and customized angles to ensure smooth fluid transfer while minimizing turbulence and dead zones. Crafted from SS 304 / 316L, they are suitable for critical clean applications in dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.
Asiad Steel Industries is a premier manufacturer and supplier of dairy bends that meet international sanitary standards, offering both weld and clamp end options with polished internal finishes.

Do you have questions?
Do dairy bends support automated cleaning systems?
Yes. Their smooth design is ideal for CIP and SIP processes without residue buildup.
Can bends be made in non-standard angles?
Absolutely. We provide custom bends based on project-specific piping layouts.
Are both clamp and welded ends available?
Yes. Both options are available with exact dimensional tolerances.
What surface finish is best for dairy applications?
A mirror or electro-polished finish ensures easy cleaning and microbial resistance.
