3-A Standards play an important role in FSMA preventive controls rules, have considerable benefits in commerce and are harmonized with other important regulations and guidelines, such as EHEDG.  The presentation goes over specific benefits of obtaining 3-A Symbol.

Balancing the fast-paced technology advancement with hygienic requirements for food processing equipment brings multple benefits, yet needs a though consideration. This presentation covers such topics as: secondary seal design for mechanical seals, innovations in seal face technology, overview of EHEDG mechanical seal guidelines and provides examples of hygienic design cartridge seals.

This presentation will help you understand the different sub-types of stainless steel, modes of corrosive attack, environmental and metallurgical factors affecting the durability of stainless steel, as well as most common fabrication issues.

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.

The following guidance shall be used by CCE when performing TPV evaluations and provides additional criteria for the acceptance of non-metal materials.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
