  • Chicago Stainless Equipment was founded in 1937 when the company began making milk storage tanks. Over the years, the company has been involved in packaging, filling and pasteurization design and manufacturing. In the mid 1950's the company made the first sanitary pressure gauge for use on their storage tanks. The gauge was the first of its kind and received a U.S. patent for the unique design. Today all sanitary pressure gauges use principles similar to our original design, however, no other manufacturer has as much experience, or can match our high standards, and exceptional service.

    Sani-Flow Pressure Gauges
    3-A approved diaphragm pressure gauge designed for the demanding yet abusive environment of most food processing plants. This is not an industrial gauge with a diaphragm seal assembly, the Sani-Flow pressure gauge has been designed specifically for sanitary applications. The gauges are extremely accurate yet durable and are available with sanitary fittings in sizes from 1½" to 3", and pressure ranges from 30"Hg (vacuum) up to 1,000 psi. Our Sani-Flow pressure gauges are generally in stock, and ready for same day shipping in almost any configuration.

    Sani-Flow Digital Thermometers
    Our 3-A and FDA approved digital thermometers have been designed to meet the requirements of the food processing industry. They are accurate, durable, easy to read, water proof, easily field recalibrated and very low maintenance. Powered by a standard AAA battery, which is field replaceable, they have a large, high contrast, LCD display which makes temperature reading much easier and more accurate. They are available with most sanitary fittings as well as NPT and well type connections. All Sani-Flow digital thermometers are generally in stock, and ready for same day shipping.

    Sani-Flow Sanitary Temperature Sensors
    The quality is evident in the unique compact design of our electronic temperature sensors. Our Sani-Flow RTD and Temperature Transmitters have been designed to withstand the harshest environment. They have a standard 12 mm industrial connector to allow for easy installation and removal. No complicated wiring or leaking heads, simply plug-in the connector and it is ready to use. CSE RTDs and Temperature Transmitters use 100ohm, 3 wire Platinum (PT-100 ohm) elements. Designed for direct immersion in sanitary process applications for the quickest most accurate reading possible. All of this with a no hassle return policy and no restocking charges on standard items makes CSE RTDs and Transmitters the perfect solution for your temperature sensing requirements.

    Sani-Flow Homogenizer Pressure Gauges
    More than 30 years of experience in designing and building sanitary pressure gauges has gone into engineering an exceptional gauge designed specifically for homogenizer applications. Internal dampening means little or no pointer oscillations and much longer gauge life. Like the rest of our products, the homogenizer gauge was conceived with accuracy, durability and low cost of maintenance in mind. The gauge is available in pressure ranges from 1,000 psi up to 15,000 psi, with or without the 2 bolt flange. The Sani-Flow homogenizer pressure gauge is delivered from stock in just about any configuration.
