Certified Industrial leveling feet

Choosing certified levelling feet will hygienically enhance your machinery and your customer’s Return On Investment (ROI).

Certified hygienic leveling feet are specifically designed to meet the stringent standards set by regulatory bodies for hygiene and safety in the process industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors. These certifications ensure that the leveling feet comply with specific design and material requirements that minimize the risk of contamination and are easy to clean, thus enhancing the overall hygiene of the production environment. The key certifications mentioned are:

Product Line Contact

3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI):

This is a non-profit organization that develops and maintains standards for equipment used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries to ensure that they can be easily cleaned and sanitized. 3-A certified leveling feet are designed to prevent product contamination and ensure that all parts that come into contact with the product are non-toxic, smooth, and free from crevices that could harbor bacteria.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA):

The USDA certification for industrial leveling feet indicates that the equipment meets the requirements set by the USDA for hygiene and safety in the food processing industry. This certification ensures that the industrial leveling feet can withstand the cleaning and sanitizing agents used in these environments without degrading.

European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG):

This organization focuses on promoting hygiene and food safety through improved design of equipment and facilities used in the food processing industry. EHEDG certified leveling feet are designed to meet high hygienic standards, including ease of cleaning, to prevent microbial, chemical, and particle contamination.

Choosing certified hygienic industrial leveling feet offers several benefits:

All process industries are subject to increasing regulatory requirements, which increases the focus on resource consumption, product safety and official hygienic certifications.

Reduced Water Consumption and Cleaning Resources:

By using industrial leveling feet that are easier to clean and designed to meet hygienic standards, companies can significantly reduce the amount of water and cleaning agents required to maintain hygiene. This not only saves resources but also reduces the environmental impact of the cleaning processes.

Minimized Risk of Contamination:

Certified leveling feet are designed to eliminate harborage points for bacteria and other contaminants, thus minimizing the risk of product contamination which can lead to costly recalls and damage to brand reputation.

Enhanced Return on Investment (ROI):

Investing in certified hygienic leveling feet can enhance machinery hygiene, which in turn improves product safety and quality. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, potentially resulting in higher sales and profitability. Additionally, the reduced need for excessive cleaning and the lower risk of contamination can lead to cost savings over time.

Striving for excellence

For companies in the process industries, selecting certified hygienic leveling feet is not just about complying with regulatory requirements; it’s also about making a strategic investment in product quality, safety, and sustainability.
