USDA Regulations and Repairable Stainless Steel Cylinders
Customers are always asking questions like “Does this product corrode? Do stainless steel cylinders meet USDA Regulations? Can it be cleaned? Will it be unsafe in our operation? Will it harm our product?”
Roughly 1 in 6 Americans get sick from food contamination each year. Nearly 125,000 are put in the hospital. In addition, 3,000 deaths occur each year from food-borne pathogens. As a result, lowering contamination is important for food and beverage processing. Further, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The act stops outbreaks of these sicknesses by bettering enforcement tools and methods for food safety systems.
As a result of the FSMA, food safety awareness in the products involved with food and beverage creation becomes important.
The Bimba│TRD Repairable Stainless (RS) cylinder is best for most sanitary and wash-down tasks. Also, the cylinder has a smooth outside of 300 series stainless steel parts. Further, the cylinder has a threaded design providing easy disassembly and rebuild. Finally, the food-grade grease used for assembly and for operation is approved for possible food contact (H1).
The RS series cylinder has an optional USDA-approved 3-A Sanitary Standard wiper bracket, added with the front wiper option “U” (seen above). Even more, in food-grade use where the rod goes over the product, the wiper stops and collects contaminants from staying on the cylinder.
