What You Need To Know About Sanitary Process Design

By Andrew Kelly


Deciding to open up a business might be easy, but it is the process that you have to go through that is hard. This becomes harder if you plan to invest in food manufacturing business because of the sanitary process design. For facilities that operates under the United States Department of Agriculture, you have to meet their sanitation performance standard in order to ensure that no products and ingredients will spoil during the manufacturing process.

Compared to past standards, the design standards today are less prescriptive. This allows the processors to be more flexible in equipment and plant design and in promoting greater innovation that will be used for sanitation procedures. The food manufacturer will be the one who would do the maintenance and monitor to prevent products from contaminating.

No matter what your reason is, to open up a new food manufacturing facility or to upgrade and expand your existing facility, this sanitary design process will be your most effective strategy. Incorporating this into your very own company means preventing microbiological niches from developing. Aside from this, you can also ensure that the shelf life of your product will increase.

Sanitation perils, for example, pathogens, metal shavings, glass, wood, and allergen cross tainting ought to be controlled. Remember that items should not be uncovered in any wellsprings of rottenness, for example, feces of rodents and residue. For those do not know, this plan has six essential components, which can be executed to existing offices.

Facility site selection. Part of your decision in choosing which site should you build your facility is the availability of emergency services, transportation, materials, and fuel. While the structure size and its surrounding land will be determined by your needs and future expansion. Locked in facilities will be difficult to expand because of its surrounding properties. Consider adding some fences and gates for security purposes.

Dust, ground, and pest control. Your grounds need to be maintained properly to lower the risk of contamination. Installing a drainage system is one of preventing flood and pool of water. You can minimize the amount of dust that goes inside by paving the driveway and parking space. Pest control companies can help you eliminate pest and in preventing them from getting inside the premises.

The flow inside the facility. Plants must be environmental microbiological controlled, and that becomes more effective when you separate your employees into two groups, the first group will work on raw ingredients and the second group with cooked ingredients. For this, you would have to separate the entryway for plants and isolate the locker rooms, restrooms, and lunchrooms.

Plant materials. Materials used for the plant will vary in durablity and cost. Consider the product and its associated risk, how harsh the process is, and to use dry or wet cleaning. The materials for the floor, wall, and cleaning are easy to clean, nonporous, and chemical resistant. Plumbing and electrical conduit should travel through structural ceiling loft.

Safety design. Carefully plan everything to assure that the food are safe. All staffs must do cross functional training to enhance your existing equipment and structure to for them to facilitate your improving and expanding facility. Ensure that your materials and equipment designs are durable to reduce cost.
