Hygienic & clean design

Following the GFSI's (Global Food Safety Initiative) recent introduction of Scope J1 and J2, hygienic design is a top priority for OEMs and end-users. SMC's hygienic solutions go beyond compliance, lowering the total ownership cost of your machinery and your environmental impact. Our hygienic product line follows strict hygienic design principles to prevent bacteria build-up and enable efficient cleaning.

Materials of construction

Choosing the right construction materials significantly impacts your Food Safety Management System. SMC uses high-quality materials to ensure component longevity and minimise contamination risks.

Air quality

Compressed air, often overlooked as a utility, plays a vital role in food manufacturing. Recent GFSI updates are prompting stricter audits of air quality at the point of use. Our HF1 and HF2 air filtration sets guarantee clean, dry, oil, and bacteria-free compressed air, exceeding ISO 8573-1 requirements.

Ingress Protection

Protein production is a brutal environment for machinery. Constant exposure to washdowns and airborne contaminants can easily wear down unprotected equipment. That's why SMC prioritises high Ingress Protection (IP) ratings in our automation solutions. SMC's IP69K-rated JSY5000-H hygienic valves eliminate the need for external stainless steel control cabinets, reducing costs and footprint.

EHEDG certification

EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering Design Group) certified products provide the highest level of hygienic design assurance in food processing. Our KFG2H-E EHEDG certified pneumatic fittings promote thorough cleaning and minimise bacterial growth, thus providing you with unmatched confidence in food safety.

Regulatory compliance (FDA and EU 1935/2004)

Food safety regulations are paramount. At SMC, we ensure compliance with strict standards like the US FDA's Title 21 177 and EU 1935/2004 regulations. Our HF range utilizes NSF-H1 approved grease, and many SMC seals and gaskets are manufactured using FDA and EU 1935/2004 approved materials. This way you can be confident that there will be no will be no contamination risk to your food products or food packaging from our equipment.

HACCP monitoring

HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point) is a mandatory and vital part of any Food Safety Management System to prevent or mitigate any potential food safety issues during food production caused by chemical, physical, microbiological or allergen contamination. SMC's pressure sensors remotely identify when point-of-use air filters need replacement, ensuring clean air and simplifying HACCP compliance.
