Hygiene-critical processes in the life science industries of food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical technology and biotechnology pose particular challenges for the design of production facilities. The basic theory is simple – in order to manufacture safe products, the components in the system must not become contaminated or it must be easy to clean them. The choice of materials, surface finish, geometric design and the selection of suitable screw, plug and sealing connections play a decisive role here.
In practice, the realisation of a hygienic design is far more complex and depends heavily on the production process and the product to be processed. Is the component in the contamination or contact area? How is the system cleaned? Which cleaning agents are used?
The LUMIMAX® portfolio offers a range of standard solutions for some typical cleaning scenarios.
