Contamination prevention and the ability to disinfect sensors are highly important in the food industry. We supply stainless steel force sensors and weighing sensors with a high IP classification, so that they can easily be disinfected at any time. In addition, we offer a wide range of mounting sets for force sensors that have been especially developed for weighing tanks and silos. When it comes to the UV sterilization of food packages, customers often choose our UV Fujifilm Foils.
Our products not only guarantee the uniform and tight closure of packaging, but also a reliable process flow.
Hygiene plays a special role in milk processing. Our products certified to 3-A Sanitary Standards guarantee clean processing in accordance with the applicable hygiene standards.
Different types of beer are produced today using different processes and systems with varying degrees of automation. We supply you with the right measurement technology.
The standards known today as "3-A standards" were established back in the 1920s and used in the dairy industry to improve the hygiene of dairy plants. The name is derived from the three interest groups - the state hygiene officers, plant manufacturers and processors. Today, the membership of the non-profit organization "3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc." consists of three associations: International Dairy Foods Association, Food Processing Suppliers Association, International Association for Food Protection, and representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
3-A SSI manages a comprehensive catalog of design criteria for equipment and processing systems with the goal of improving food safety through hygienic equipment design. The organization oversees the 3-A Symbol Authorization Program and other voluntary certifications to ensure the integrity of sanitary processing equipment and systems. The 3-A Symbol is a registered mark used to identify equipment that meets 3-A Sanitary Standards for design and manufacturing. Voluntary use of the 3-A symbol on dairy and food equipment provides assurance that the equipment meets sanitary standards.
