The dairy industry has extremely high requirements for hygiene standards in the production process, which not only involves the taste and quality of the product, but also the health and safety of consumers. Therefore, dairy processing plants need to pay special attention to the selection of tubingline systems, and sanitary stainless steel tubing have become the ideal tubingline solution in dairy processing.
Dairy processing
Multiple links in the dairy processing process, including raw material transportation, emulsification, pasteurization, etc., require the tubingline system to have a high level of hygiene. Any tiny contaminants will have a serious impact on the quality of dairy products. Therefore, the selected tubingmust have the following characteristics:
1. Corrosion resistance and anti-pollution: Dairy products contain a lot of water and lactose, which are easy to breed bacteria during processing. Therefore, the tubing must be corrosion-resistant and have a smooth surface to reduce bacterial adhesion.
2. High temperature and pressure resistance: During high temperature treatment processes such as pasteurization, the tubing need to withstand certain temperatures and pressures without deformation or rupture.
3. Easy to clean and disinfect: Due to the particularity of dairy products, the tubing must be able to be efficiently cleaned and disinfected to prevent bacteria or yeast from accumulating inside the tubing.
Choosing stainless steel sanitary tubing
Stainless steel sanitary tubing are made of 304 or 316L stainless steel, both of which have excellent corrosion resistance in dairy processing. In particular, 316L stainless steel has stronger resistance to corrosive substances such as chlorides and is suitable for handling liquids with high acid and lactose content. In addition, the sanitary tubing provided by Eagle Fittings are precision welded and bright annealed to ensure that the inner and outer surfaces of the tubing are smooth and free of pores, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth.
How to choose and install
When choosing stainless steel sanitary tubing, dairy manufacturers need to choose the appropriate tubing specifications and wall thickness according to actual processing needs. Different processing links have different requirements for tubing, so the tubing system needs to be customized according to specific usage. In addition, the connection method and installation method of the tubing also need to meet the hygienic requirements to avoid the generation of dead corners and water accumulation areas.
The sanitary tubing provided by Eagle Fittings have precise wall thickness control and internal and external surface treatment, which can provide solutions that meet 3-A hygienic standards to ensure the smooth operation of the dairy production line.
The dairy industry has particularly strict requirements on the hygiene of tubing. Stainless steel sanitary tubing have become one of the important equipment for dairy processing companies due to their excellent performance. Eagle Fittings helps dairy companies improve production efficiency and product safety by providing high-quality stainless steel tubing and customized services. Choosing the right sanitary tubing system will be an important step in ensuring the quality of dairy production.
