Precision CNC Machined Manifold Base Plate — AL6061 Aluminum with Hard Anodizing Finish
This precision CNC machined square manifold base plate is purpose-engineered for food processing machinery applications requiring accurate fluid or pneumatic distribution, rigid structural mounting, and long-term surface durability in hygienic production environments.
Material & Construction
Manufactured from Aluminum Alloy 6061, this material provides an excellent combination of lightweight structural rigidity, outstanding machinability, and good corrosion resistance — delivering a cost-effective and reliable solution for food machinery valve blocks, pump manifolds, and distribution base assemblies.
Design Features
Central precision-threaded bore for primary fluid inlet/outlet connection
Symmetrically arranged lateral NPT or BSP threaded ports for multi-directional flow distribution
Four corner counterbored mounting holes for secure panel or frame attachment
All internal thread profiles and port geometries CNC machined to strict dimensional tolerances
Ensures leak-free sealing performance and reliable pressure integrity
Surface Treatment
The Type III hard anodizing finish builds a dense aluminum oxide layer of 25-50μm thickness into the base material, achieving surface hardness exceeding HRC 60. This treatment dramatically enhances:
Wear resistance
Chemical resistance to food-grade cleaning agents and mild acids
Corrosion protection
Non-toxic, chemically inert surface compliant with FDA and EU food contact regulations
Unlike soft anodizing, hard coat anodizing ensures the surface withstands repeated CIP chemical cleaning and high-pressure washdown cycles without degradation.
Quality Assurance
All components are manufactured under ISO 9001 certified quality systems with:
