This presentation provides some technical information and illustrations on hygienic design of separators.

Welding is a fabrication process used to join metals together using the heat of an electrical arc. This presentation provides in-depth overview of the process and types of welding with hygienic requirements in mind, and has a large gallery of examples of acceptalbe and unacceptable welds, including the list of factors affecting the quality of welding.

Provides guidance on creative designs and processing technologies which produce items covered by multiple 3-A Sanitary Standards.

Provides guidance on the collection and listing of model information on the TPV Report for 3-A Symbol Authorization.

With the wide range of polymers being available today, making a proper selection for food processing applications becomes challenging. This presentation offers a deep dive into polymer parameters, provides example of formulations, and goes over most common usage examples in food  applications.

Stainless steel casting is a complex process where  chemical composition of the metal and temperature treatment highly affect the final corrosion resistance of the parts. In addition to these nuances, the presentation covers some ways to examine final products and showcases some typical findings.

Harmonization of standards and guidelines for food processing equipment across country borders has enormous benefits for business operation and, ultimately,  for public health. This presentation focuses on critical design parameters of sanitary tubing, including materials, roughness, contact pressure, friction and stress, and others, as addressed by 3-A and EHEDG.

EHEDG and 3-A have long-last relationships to harmonize their standards and guidelines. This presentation provides an overview of EHEDG organizational structure and contains a large number of excerpts of guidelines related to hygienic equipment design.

Foreign matter inspection helps reduce the amount of foreign objects within a food product which would benefit customers, the company brand name, and will protect inline equipment. The presentation focuses on x-ray inspection technology which allows the detecting of metal, glass, stone, bone, and dense plastic.

The types of stainless chosen for food processing equipment directly impacts its price, durability, and, ultimately, safe food production. This highly practical presentation focuses on  such details as stainless steel production, chemical composition, and some of the most important factors to consider when choosing an appropriate type of stainless steel.
