Elesa+Ganter High Performance Hygienic Design Line
In the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring the safety of products and protecting both them and consumers is becoming increasingly important. Developing and maintaining qualified working environments constantly presents manufacturers and owners in these industries with significant challenges.
To ensure safety in a production environment, all risks of contamination by microorganisms or dirt must be excluded. This means that all components, equipment and surfaces must be designed accordingly.
The European Union has approved regulations and laws for these critical hygiene areas. Some of the requirements establish specific conditions, including:
- Use of materials that are easy to clean and, ideally, possess active hygienic properties;
- Avoidance of irregular outlines where the edges are not perfectly aligned;
- Seals without dead spaces;
- Surface roughness of less than 0.8 micrometers.
There are also independent certificates for "hygienic design" such as EHEDG, 3A, DGUV and others. Unlike a declaration of conformity, these certificates cannot be issued by the manufacturers themselves. An assessment by an acceditaded entity is required for this type of certification.
The Elesa+Ganter high performance hygienic design line was designed and engineered to respect the requirements of these industries. This ensures that the components within this range meet the highest hygiene and safety standards necessary for food, medical and pharmaceutical production lines.
Reiman is the exclusive representative of Elesa+Ganter in Portugal.
Standard components in the Hygienic Design high performance line are identified with the HD icon. They feature a combination of high surface quality, lack of dead spaces, cavity-free outer surfaces, sealed screwing, blue sealing rings for easy visual recognition, and other features that prevent dirt access and contamination entering the components.
Simplified cleaning is ensured, requiring less time and effort (up to 25% of the time saved), resulting in:
- Reduced water consumption and fewer cleaning agents required;
- More tie available for production;
- Lower energy consumption;
- Reduced wastewater production;
- Lower overall costs and resource savings.
As an example, we demonstrate the cleaning process for contamination on a Hygienic Design levelling foot compared to a conventional one.
In summary, with exclusive representation by Reiman in Portugal, the components of the high performance Hygienic Design line offer the ideal solution to meet the most stringent hygienic and safety requirements and standards in the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries.
These components have been meticulously designed an engineered to not only eliminate contamination risks but also to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the cleaning proces, enabling maximum performance and reliability in industrial operations.
