Provides guidance to the CCEs when performing TPV inspections of hose assemblies under Standard 62- with emphasis on ensuring correct model number format and wording for consistency of equipment identification among the TPV reports.

Selecting appropriate materials for applications must take into consideration product details, cleaning chemicals being used, and temperature range of all processes. The presentation briefly covers some practical aspects of choosing appropriate gasket, seal face, and  metal component materials.

Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA) is a technology allowing to produce on-site, on-demand detergent and sanitizer using three simple inputs: water, salt, and energy. The presentation goes over sanitizer efficacy, using ECA in CIP process, some typical installation, applications, and benefits.

With sanitarians, equipment fabricators, and food processors among 3-A stakeholders, 3-A SSI has a unique position to be a trustworthy and independent partner for various industries. This presentation describes the impact of 3-A SSI in three key areas: 3rd party audit, training, and standards development.

Seals are indispensable in equipment for food processing and filling! But if they are not properly designed, manufactured and maintained, they can pose a hygienic hazard! This presentation covers such topics as: basic requirements for static seals (elastomeric seals), things to be considered in groove design for seal, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as a design tool, and dynamic seals.
