Even a hygienically designed machine is no guarantee for safe production without an effective barrier to the environment. This presentation goes over highly practical aspects of a good building layout and master concept (master plan), for the design of a food processing facility.
EHEDG is committed to developing competencies and capacity building in hygienic design and engineering to support food safety and quality management. This presentation will help learn more about EHEDG and collaboration with 3-A SSI to ensure global food safety.
The following guidance shall be used by CCE when performing TPV evaluations and provides additional criteria for the acceptance of non-metal materials.
The presentation provides overview of various types of polymers, contains tips on choosing the right material and goes over some most typical failures while being used in various applications.
Laser beam is a new generation of welding technologies with a very high energy ouput. They can focus on a tiny area of material and allow the operator to weld deeply with precision, with the minimum distortion, and with the maximum of design compatability. The presentation considers different types of laser beam sources, laser welding quality requirements, the range of materials to be used and welded, and showcases some practical application examples.
Facility environmental controls are one of the foundational elements of hygienic design. This presentation contains comprehensive data and rich visual examples related to zoning, contamination control strategies, and validation of the effectiveness of control strategies.
Residual spore-former biofilm in clean processing equipment can cause a variety of production and quality issues. The presentation covers spore-forming bacteria and biofilms, their presence and accumulation in dairy processing equipment, as well as some new strategies for control and elimination.
This 2017 annual report covers 3-A's operations during 2016.
The following guidance shall be used by the CCE when performing TPV evaluations of meat and poultry processing equipment covered by Standards ANSI/3-A/NSF 14159-1, ANSI/3-A/NSF 14159-2 or ANSI/3-A/NSF 14159-3. This guidance is effective immediately upon receipt and shall be used until revoked or included in an up-date of the TPV Manual.
With globalization, it is challenging to keep track of and enforce false claims of conformance to 3-A Symbol. This presentation contains some examples of false claims that have been known to 3-A with visual examples.
