AusPress Stainless Steel Channels and Specialised drainage products are manufactured in Adelaide, South Australia.

316 Stainless Steel has an extra component (Molybdenum), which offers a much higher level of corrosion resistance. When considering the cleaning chemicals and harsh fluids that are flushed through the drainage systems, 316 Stainless Steel is a vital requirement for the channels, grates and components.

We typically stick to 6m sections in our manufacturing principles to enable ease of transport. These sections are then bolted together by means of flanges, gaskets, nuts and bolts to make as a channel as is needed for the facility. The longest channels AusPress has ever made was over 700 metres long.

Stainless Steel is the only impervious, long term product, that can last the life of the building under normal operating conditions. As channels are typically installed and cast into the concrete floors, it is vitally important that they are made to last the lifetime of the building as they are very expensive to repair and replace when you consider not just construction costs, but oncosts to cease operation within the facility. It is part of the buildings structure, and must be able to perform to client expectations.

Yes. We can design a custom layout and adjust where an outlet is located along a channel, and create fall to the outlet, as long as the existing drainage is of size and complies to local regulations.
