Contaminating dust

Industrial vacuums for Cross-Contamination prevention

Every production process involves specific cross-contamination risks, caused by both the introduction of external agents and product residues that have not been properly removed.
The dispersion or accumulation of dust and materials within plants and machinery can jeopardize the quality and integrity of the finished product, promote the proliferation of bacteria or contaminants, and create critical issues in sensitive processes.

Reference standards and certifications for Contamination Control

Preventing contamination in production processes relies on international standards and regulations that establish stringent requirements for process control, cleaning management, and the maintenance of high levels of safety and quality, particularly in food, pharmaceutical, and controlled environments.

Regulation (EC) 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practices (GMP)

requires the adoption of controlled production processes and effective cleaning and extraction systems. These are essential for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring product compliance throughout the entire production cycle.

GMP, FDA, and EUROPEAN REGULATIONS

Contamination risk management is part of a complex international regulatory framework, which includes, GMP, FDA guidelines, European Regulations 1935/2004 on Materials and Objects in Contact with Food (MOCA) and (EU) 10/2011, as well as national regulations.

The ISO 14644 standard

requires strict particle contamination control and continuous environmental monitoring in production environments with classified cleanrooms. In these contexts, extraction and cleaning systems must ensure effective residue removal while maintaining the high purity standards required by critical processes.

Food Grade (FDA approved) accessories and hoses

Food-grade flexible hoses, also available in antistatic versions, together with accessories made from materials suitable for food contact, are designed for sensitive applications and supported by declarations of conformity. Smooth internal surfaces facilitate cleaning and reduce residue buildup. The materials used comply with migration limits for food applications, helping prevent product contamination and ensure process continuity and compliance.

Wash-In-Place (WIP) systems

The integration of Wash-In-Place (WIP) systems allows residues to be removed without dismantling the extractor or the system. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and helps maintain controlled hygienic conditions through scheduled cleaning cycles.

Food Grade Filters and Seals

Made from materials suitable for food contact and supported by declarations of conformity in accordance with the main international requirements.
Filters with Food Grade PTFE membranes are certified for food use in accordance with European and FDA regulations, in compliance with the migration limits set. The gaskets ensure tightness, stability, and excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, helping to reduce the risk of contamination and support the compliance of the production process.
