Hygiene is in the detail

The implementation of high hygiene standards is a daily routine in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Therefore, implementation must be straightforward and safe. Otherwise there is a risk of costly cleaning work and quality defects.

Approached correctly, implementing high hygiene standards is not as complicated as you might think. The first premise is quite simply to prevent dirt deposits from forming in the first place. With well thought-out, optional design concepts for our agitators, systems and equipment, we give dirt no chance at all from the outset:

Hygienic Design General

We pay attention to the following properties in our drives, agitators and systems:

  • Use of V4A stainless steel 1.4404 electropolished
  • Dead space free construction
  • Sterilizable and chemical-resistant materials
  • Drives with protection class IP67 for uncomplicated and safe cleaning
  • Screw connections with Tri Clamp or other hygienic connections

Hygienic Design Interior

Our Hygienic Design Interior focuses on hygiene in the mixing bowl. Here too, we are guided by the guidelines of the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group). The special characteristics include

  • Dead space-free fastening thanks to sealed screw-on surfaces (EHEDG-certified)
  • High surface quality (Ra<0.8µm)
  • Large corner radii and closed surfaces

Soft-edge design

Gaps, dirty corners and undercuts make extensive cleaning processes necessary. Our soft-edge design creates smooth transitions with rounded corners and edges. This allows us to reduce contaminated areas to a minimum. This applies to our systems, drives and agitators as well as our equipment.
