Weight saving: The use of UPE channels can lead to weight saving up to 30%.
UPN or UNP is the short form that represents standardized stainless steel channels. UPN is often used in multiple kinds of industrial applications such as construction and machinery. Stainless steel channels are distinguished by excellent design flexibility and by fast and cost-effective construction (through the possibility of prefabrication in the steel production). Stainless steel channels are mostly produced from scrap and are recyclable. UPE is the short form for stainless steel channels with parallel flanges, which provide an interesting addition to the UPN series. The UPE profiles are thinner than UPN, but they have slightly wider flanges.
