Food safety has become a safety issue that people all over the world pay more attention to. How to select the fluid handling components of valves in modern food processing equipment? As a responsible valve factory, we are faced with various health related responsibilities, which have gone beyond the scope of normal industrial product manufacturing. As the consumers of the final products are the general public, food pollution must be avoided, corrosion is not allowed, and cracks and dead spots in the valve and pipeline system that can cause fluid retention and bacteria breeding are unacceptable.
In addition to the selection of materials and the selection of food contact surfaces during processing, the food industry must also select pipelines and storage tank equipment used to transport acidic and alkaline cleaning fluids during system maintenance, as well as equipment for sewage treatment using corrosive chemicals that meet various environmental standards.
The manufacturing materials of valves required in food application shall not react with the product chemically or affect the taste, color and other characteristics of the product in any way. The design factors of non food contact fluid equipment include reducing maintenance and shutdown time, increasing production and reducing costs, as well as many uncertain factors related to supplier knowledge and services.
The water pump generally selected by the food industry should be made of sanitary stainless steel according to national standards to avoid secondary pollution of water and food. The recommended models include sanitary stainless steel safety valve, commonly used sanitary butterfly valve, ball valve, etc.
