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

A Simplified Sanitary Design Solution is a specific design which can increase manufacturability, reduce maintenance of the equipment, and ease inspection or testing,  relative to an existing design. The presentation focuses on how Simplified Sanitary Design solution can be achieved, its benefits, and ways to effectively implement it into practice.

Passivation is a way to signficantly improve corrosion resistance of stainless steel. This presentation provides step-by-step instructions on the process of passivation and gives important tips, as well as things to avoid in the process.

Sanitary Design is the application of design techniques which allow the timely and effective cleaning of the entire manufacturing asset. The presentation goes over fundamental principles of sanitary design and provides practical tools to ensure sanitary facility design, equipment design, as well as sanitary food processing practices.

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.

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.

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.

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.
