In low-moisture food manufacturing, keeping your facility dry is key environmental control, yet many facilities treat water in their environment with a level of complacency that does not match its impact. What is needed is a more disciplined mindset—one that treats water with the same seriousness applied to other high-risk materials, such as glass.

The solution includes a clean-in-place (CIP) spray header and can be used to apply sanitizing chemicals to food processing equipment such as conveyors, hoppers, bins, mixers, and other production areas.

This article discusses how, in most cases, more microbial reduction comes from cleaning than from sanitizing. 

The Controlled Rotating Retractor and Controlled Rotating Retractor UltraPure are designed to provide up to twice the cleaning efficiency of conventional static spray balls while reducing water and cleaning media consumption.

Studies funded by the Center for Produce Safety (CPS) are investigating ways to improve produce packinghouse brush sanitation, including the use of antimicrobial light and choosing the best time to replace brushes.

The NEMO R. MY Magnetically Coupled Pump is hermetically sealed and utilizes a magnetic coupling to transmit torque, resulting in a leak- and maintenance-free design.

Applications are open until April 27. Fabricators, users/processors, and regulatory sanitarians will participate in five expert working groups.

Every component of SafetyReel FS that comes into contact with compressed air meets U.S. and EU food-contact regulations, supporting food safety in food and beverage manufacturing environments.  

With a six-decade career that includes founding the Global Harmonization Initiative, Mr. Lelieveld was formerly a longtime member of Food Safety Magazine's (FSM’s) Editorial Advisory Board and a past recipient of the FSM Distinguished Service Award.

Researchers have developed and validated a rapidly vaporizing antimicrobial liquid designed for dry sanitization, which, after further optimization and regulatory approvals, could offer a potential alternative to highly flammable alcohol-based solutions.
