Food manufacturing, dairy and beverage production.
The food manufacturing, dairy and beverage production industry is a complex, global collective of diverse businesses that supply most of the food consumed by the world population.
The food and drink manufacturing industry amount to over 30 different industries. These include slaughterhouses, meat, poultry and fish processing, grain mills, maltings, bakeries, sugar confectionery, fruit and vegetable processing, oils and fats, margarine and edible oils, pasta, infant powder, baby foods and dairies. Drinks manufacture includes the production of soft drinks, beer and cider production, wines, spirits and whisky distilling. They directly touch the lives of every consumer from the moment they are born to the final day of their existence.
Definitive testing of pasteurisers and heat exchangers
The introduction of laws, directives and standards such as ISO 22000, IFS (The IFS Food Standard is a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) recognised standard for auditing food manufacturers. The focus is on food safety and the quality of processes and products) or BRC (The British Retail Consortium) is the leading trade association for UK retailing. Although the BRC food safety standard began in the UK, it is now recognised as a global standard. There are over 17,000 BRC certified sites worldwide, and a large network of BRC certification bodies in 90 countries) require all companies manufacturing food and beverages products to make their manufacturing processes transparent and as safe as possible. The possibilities for leaking and contamination from plate, tubular and SSHE heat exchangers, pasteurisers, process tanks, vessels and silos are endless.
A regular preventative maintenance programme (Preventive Plant Maintenance – PPM) instigated by the producer of the products will enable the risk to the consumer to be reduced and with regular crack testing and integrity inspection of the “Critical Control Points” will ensure compliance to the regulations and safety in the knowledge that product brand name and consumer safety will be continued to be regarded in a high position within modern-day society.
