The safe choice

The food industry is a complex application, because it usually combines strict hygiene levels with low temperatures. With experience from numerous worldwide installations in facilities for food production, storage and preparation, Fläkt Woods is the safe choice for air management systems. Our solutions provide ultimate function for the specific demands, whilst meeting the highest standards of energy efficiency to deliver low life-cycle costs for the entire building.


Specific hygienic demands

Where your building has specific demands, Fläkt Woods has solutions. Our product portfolio includes equipment and systems that meet the challenging requirements for air cleaning, leakage standards and infection control. Effective HVAC systems provide a comfortable environment, including temperature, air quality, humidity, odour and noise. It therefore affects not only the conditions of the staff and visitors, it also facilitates good conditions for the preparation and manufacturing of high quality food.


Cleaning and maintenance

Maintenance operations such as cleaning are always a major issue with any plant, mostly because of functionality issues. Within the food sector requirements are even higher due to the stringent hygienic demands. Every component within our HVAC systems has been designed to facilitate visual inspection, along with easy and effective cleanability.

Our systems have been designed and developed in accordance with the most stringent Hygiene standards in Europe. As an example, our eQ Plus AHU received the ILH certificate delivered by the German Institute for Hygienic Air. Fläkt Woods AHU's are well designed according to the German standard VDI 6022 and the Swiss SWKI Richtlinie VA104-04 (04/2006). This guarantees that maintenance will be easy and effective and that the materials used are microbiologically inert. We also strive to extend the use of recyclable materials and operate in accordance with ISO 14001.

 

Optimised Solutions for Safe Food Production

For each type of product, a risk assessment should be carried out involving all aspects of production and storage, in order to highlight the critical control points. This assessment should consider all aspects of environmental hygiene, including the risk of potential cross-contamination from adjacent processes, enabling appropriate decisions to be made regarding pressure differentials between spaces.

A correctly designed air handling system is critical for the effective elimination of airborne contamination. For each of the intended operating standards (low, medium and high risk), an appropriate air supply system must be specified.

This should cover:

  • The microbiological quality of air
  • The ability of the system to control the direction of air flow
  • Temperature
  • Relative humidity
  • Over pressure

Consideration must be given to each of these points during the various operating states, including startup, production, cleaning, non-production and maintenance.
