Who’s Responsible for Oversight of Sanitary and Hygienic Design?

The governing bodies and regulatory agencies overseeing sanitary and hygienic design for food equipment have certain differences due to their sphere of influence. All agree in general on the need for prioritizing food safety above all else.
Many, like the 3-A Sanitary Standards, provide certifications designating that equipment meets the proper standards for a particular industry. All have their own systems of reporting violations and targeting any food equipment manufacturers seeking to find shortcuts that put the safety of the public at risk.
Any manufacturer caught falsifying approvals from the FDA or other oversight organizations run the risk of being shut down and permanently barred from the industry.

Reasons for Hygienic Design & Advantages of Hygienic Design

In the food industry, medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry, product safety and consumer protection are becoming increasingly important. Due to their specific properties, standard parts in Hygienic Design can assist the production process in these sensitive areas and facilitate the manufacturing of products free from preservatives that have long shelf life.

10 main principles of Hygienic and Sanitary Design

Hygienic and sanitary design is the integration of design and engineering with the full food and beverage production environment to minimize contamination risk and enable effective cleaning and sanitation.

What is Sanitary and Hygienic Design?

Sanitary and hygienic design take into account all the machinery and related infrastructure involved in processing food for public consumption. Different places use different methods depending on the type of product produced or served. But there are common standards and best practices that all manufacturers should be following to prevent accidental contamination of food sources. 

Mechanical Equipment Hygienic Design Principles

This document describes the principles for hygienic design of equipment and factories intended for foodmanufacturing.The fundamental reason for applying hygienic design principles is to prevent contaminationof food products.Equipment and factories of poor hygienic design are difficult to clean.

Hygienic Equipment Design Checklist

These guidelines aid the identification of design criteria needed to continuously improve the cleanability of processing equipment. This document is not intended to critique specific equipment or to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Hygienic design zone for Sanitation Preventive Control

Zoning or segregation of food processing areas presents a unique environment for the food processors to identify area of potentially risk for microbiological cross-contamination. The facility design outlines offers risk-based hazard assessment to determine potential sources of contamination, traffic patterns, employee hygienic practices, and suitable preventive control measure for these areas.  

What is the most important ability to design well?

There are many ways to express the visual hierarchy, such as the use of repetition, negative space, texture effects, spacing, metaphors, etc. In the next article, I will share the second half of the visual hierarchy. I hope everyone can gain every day!

Non-standard sheet metal product design method

Generally we believe that all sheet metal materials with uniform thickness are collectively called sheet metal. Commonly used sheet metal materials include stainless steel, galvanized steel, copper, aluminum, and iron. In actual industrial applications, sheet metal products are mainly used in industrial products such as standard cabinets, self-service terminal products, and non-standard customized appearance products. …

Comparison table of full thread tapping drilling diameter and rolling diameter

The diameter of the drill bit selected in this table is aimed at easily knowing the diameter of the drill bit during tapping processing . It is selected based on the standard drill bit sold in the market. When using the drill bit, due to the shape, size and accuracy of the drill bit, The material being drilled, etc., has a great influence on the size and accuracy of the drilled hole. Therefore, use the drill diameter in this table. If there is any improper point, the drill diameter should be changed appropriately in the actual situation.
