Sanitary Process Solutions for Food Processing Plants
The audit is Thursday. You already know the spot they'll find.
It is the weld that never quite cleans up, the gasket that is overdue, the pump that weeps. You have been meaning to deal with it.
What that means for you
- Equipment designed and installed so that it can be cleaned.
- Designs that meet or exceed 3-A, ASME, FDA, OSHA and UL listed standards.
- Preventive maintenance that keeps wear from becoming a finding.
Food manufacturers are measured on two things at once: product that is safe every time, and a line that runs. Both depend on sanitary equipment that is designed to be cleaned, installed correctly and kept in condition.
SIE Process-Solutions supports food processors with maintenance, installation and design under one roof.
Maintenance that prevents downtime and contamination
In a food plant, a failing seal is a downtime risk and a contamination risk in the same part. Moving from reactive repair to scheduled preventive maintenance reduces unplanned stoppages, extends equipment life and keeps wear from becoming a food safety finding.
We run preventive maintenance on pumps, valves, heat exchangers and homogenizers, and we train your staff to carry out routine work themselves.
Installation that protects the product
Installation work inside an operating food plant has to be controlled. Dust, debris and tools are contamination hazards, and the way piping is sloped and welded decides whether it can be cleaned. Our crews install mechanical and piping systems with that in mind and commission them before handover.
Design for cleanability and compliance
Food processors work under FDA current good manufacturing practice and the preventive controls requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act, and USDA-inspected plants add their own sanitation requirements. Equipment built to 3-A Sanitary Standards is easier to clean and easier to defend in an inspection.
SIE designs process systems that meet or exceed 3-A, ASME, FDA, OSHA and UL listed standards.
Citrus and specialty processors
Our accounts include citrus processors alongside general food manufacturers, and we build clean-in-place systems and modular systems for both.
