Clean-room technology secures quality in food production

Hygiene and cleanliness are the highest requirement in the food-processing industry. The quality of food has crucial influence on the purchase behavior of the consumers and wins ever more at meaning. Production in pure areas contributes to reduce the danger of a germ transmission substantially and to increase thus security and durability. The company Melzer frozen food GmbH is specialized in the production and the trade of frozen products. In order to be able to use the chances of this increasing market further efficiently, the Hofer invests company consistently in quality and product security. Now with the implementation of a clean-room system with integrated air condition technology a further step for the guarantee of unconditional hygiene was carried out with the production of the food. The new pure space plant has a size of 100 square meter, with a room height of over 4 meters. The realization of the plant the company Schilling engineering specialized in clean-room technology was assigned. The integration of the existing production plants into the clean-room system CleanFlowCell� separated with PVC foil curtains ran smoothly and qualitatively convincingly. � our goal was to be achieved an improvement of product security for our existing production line. Schilling engineering dealt very flexibly with our defaults and a very good solution offered. We are very contently with the quality and the functionality of the clean-room technology � confirm Mrs. Fischer, who is responsible for the quality management of the company Melzer. In the production plant a pure room air quality of the pure class of area ISO 9 (EN ISO 14644-1) is reached in operation. Surface-concisely into the cover integrated laminar flow units guarantee the supply of pure ranges according to the principle of the turbulent mixture ventilation. The system offers also over 15 changes of air per hour and the use of ULPA Hochleistungsfilter the conditions for optimal Reinstluftkonditionen within the process range. By the building of the pure area a guarantee of the separation between impure area and pure area is guaranteed. Outside of the pure area the packed commodity from the cold treatment resounding is transported and up to the Unterverpackung unpacked. Conveyors transport the frozen commodity over a material lock into the actual pure area. Takes place only there complete unpacking, which becomes and blends mono products brought into a mixture drum. After weighing and machine packing the finished closed product will hand over again into the cold treatment chain. The clean-room system is fully airconditioned, it prevails a constantly low temperature, so that it comes during the fully automatic mixture process and the concluding final packing to no time to a Antauen of the commodity. In order to prevent a germ transmission by the coworkers, these enter the pure area over an air-lock for persons, in which they change into clean-spacespecific clothes. The air-lock is separated with view-close curtains and equipped with wash basins, Sitover and clothes cabinets. The clean-room system of Schilling engineering was co-ordinated flexibly with the production process of the foodstuffs industry and inclusive planning, structure and qualification in one period by 10 weeks were realized.�
