Preventing contamination and ensuring product safety
Bespoke EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) and 3A SSI (3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc.) certified hygienic machinery parts are specifically designed for industries where sanitation is paramount, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. These parts ensure that machinery meets the highest hygiene standards, preventing contamination and ensuring safety.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Certification Compliance:
- EHEDG Certification: Ensures that the design and construction of the machinery parts meet European standards for hygiene, making them easy to clean and minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination.
- 3A SSI Certification: Ensures that the parts meet sanitary standards required by the US for dairy and other food industries.
- Materials:
- High-grade stainless steel (e.g., 316L) to resist corrosion and withstand cleaning chemicals.
- FDA-approved materials for seals and gaskets.
- Design:
- Smooth surfaces to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
- Minimal crevices and joints, reducing areas where contaminants can hide.
- Easy-to-clean designs, often allowing for CIP (Clean-in-Place) or SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) procedures.
- Applications:
- Food and Beverage Industry: Ensuring that all components in contact with food are sanitary and safe, preventing contamination.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Maintaining the sterility of processes and preventing any risk of contamination.
- Biotechnology Industry: Ensuring that equipment used in sensitive processes is free from contaminants.
