Medium Hygiene: This area is typically producing beverages or food that is contained, mixed, processed in vats, vessels, tanks, and piping. There are no “open processes”. However the equipment is drained, flushed, and cleaned along with the floors and other surfaces. Equipment should have some resistance to water splashing, corrosion, and chemical vapors that may arise during the cleaning process. Typical applications include: Beverage and bottling operations. Milk production. Breweries and distilleries. Typical enclosure requirements: NEMA 4X, Stainless Steel, slope-top Basic Hygiene: This area has no “open processes” where food can be contaminated and there are no “wash-down” requirements. Typical applications include: • Building systems and automation. • Power Infrastructure and Switchgear. • Packaging, Palletizing, Storage, & Conveyers (for finished product) Typical enclosures requirements: • NEMA 12, carbon steel or stainless steel High Hygiene : This area has “open processes” where food is splashed on the machines, floors, and other surfaces. It requires the highest degree of hygiene and the area is sanitized with aggressive cleaning agents plus high temperature & high pressure water. Equipment must have the highest degree of water & chemical resistance. Typical applications include: Food processing equipment Conveyers (raw and unfinished product) Typical enclosure requirements: IP69, Slope-top, brushed stainless steel, gaskets made with FDA approved materials.
