I've been offered Fluid bed dryer made from SUS304.
Other offer is for FBD made from SS316L.
I'm trying to decide which one is better against corrosion, because the working enviroment is mixed. Sometimes it is water based solvent for spraying, sometimes it is organic solvent for spraying of pelletes and tabletes.
For cleaning of the machine after production we use water and detergent, sometimes lemon acid and water, or natrium-bicarbonate with water.
I was searching thru this forum and find out that there is a little bit corrosion resistance of 316L, so i'm planing to purchase machine with SS316L.
Any suggestions, pro and contra, why not to use 304 instead of 316, or vice versa ???
I have to mention that untill now we have purchased machines with SS316L (contact surfaces) combined with SS306 (non contact suraces).
