Contamination control in the food industry: Design zoning

Contamination control in the food industry: Design zoning

Over the years a distinct distance can be observed between the worlds of cleanroom-oriented contamination control and the food processing industry. Current developments in detection techniques as well as an increasing understanding of contamination mechanisms open the pathways to more adequate control. Furthermore, hygienic design has been developed to avoid open process steps, reduce accumulation and improve cleanability. Frans Saurwalt from Kropman Contamination Control explains
