Considerations about the Organic Acids Effect on Weldings in Food Processing Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

For food processing equipment, welding uses heat to fuse together the various pipes and pieces of stainless steel. The quality of the weld is a determining factor in whether or not the product meets hygienic design standards for the food processing industry. When fabricating food processing equipment, weld quality is extremely important to maintain the integrity of the products being processed. A weld does not meet hygienic design standards if there is potential for contamination that can result from cracks, crevices, 90-degree angles, corrosion or over-stresses surfaces in the processing equipment. When product is stuck in a crevice it becomes very difficult to remove through regular cleaning leaving the potential for bacteria to build up and contaminate additional food products.
