Hygienic Fabrication
Many of our clients in the Food and Pharmaceutical industries specify hygienic fabrications for key elements of their work. We specialise in this service, with engineers certified accordingly, to deliver crevice free welding and purged welds – sealing both sides of the joints.
Typical applications for hygienic fabrication include:
- Feed hoppers
- Stillages
- Drain tables
- Guides
- Feeds
- Chutes
The hygienic fabrications we produce, including any hygienic welding, meet the three basic philosophies of hygienic plant:
- Product must flow through the plant and not stagnate
- The fabricated component must be cleanable and allow the destruction of microorganisms
- The contents of the plant must be protected from the external environment
We are careful to avoid any component having
- crevices which could retain product and/or limit flow
- rough or dead areas which make cleaning difficult or impossible
