Stainless Steel | Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stainless steel manway?
Our manways are basically access doors to the inside of a tank or a tile chest that holds corrosive chemicals used in the paper mill industry. Most of our manways have a 36" to 54" opening. Large enough for a person to access inside the tank to perform maintenance or work inside the tank. All of our manways are made with 100% stainless steel.
If we order a 36" clear manway how long would we expect it to take to be build?
We have been able to build the common size manways immediately as the order is placed. We keep the materials on hand to build 30", 36", 42", and 54" manways. Often our orders are for emergency repairs and we make it our priority to get you back up and running asap. We have a reputation for getting the job done quickly and shipping out your parts in just a week or two!
What other products do you make for manways and the papermill industry?
Besides making the manways to access the inside of the paper mulch tanks for papermills we also make stainless steel inserts such as overlow pipes and fill pipes for the tanks. We make bracketry for level transmitters. We often make ladder rungs, or anything requested . We can supply parts for replacing corroded manways. We replace brackets, hand wheels, hinges, gaskets, sleeves, and door mechanisms to name a few.
Do you quote stainless steel manways for contractors that are bidding jobs?
We are accepting quotes and providing bids daily to industrial contractors. We work with several industrial companies requesting the common sizes of manways. Special sizes also available upon request. We can also provide quotes from blueprints and can customize any project to specific needs. We quote quickly and accurately.
What other Stainless Steel products does your company fabricate?
We can fabricate just about anything you want. We recently completed fabricating a maple syrup cooker for a local maple syrup harvester. On the other end of the spectrum, we recently built a set of high performance custom stainless steel headers for a local drag car racer. We can provide manways for the wastewater industry and can expand into food grade and medical grade products. From design to fabrication no job is too big or too small for BA Enterprises.
