Hygienic designing with components from norelem - for safe, clean and standard conform equipment in sensitive application areas.

"Hygienic DESIGN" - also known as hygienic designing - describes the design and configuration of machine and plant components taking hygienic requirements into account. The aim is to design surfaces, transitions and geometries in such a way that:

• no germs, residues or liquids adhere to the surface
• easy and complete cleaning is possible
• the cleaning processes (CIP/SIP) can be carried out efficiently, without dismantling

This design principle is particularly essential in industries that have high product safety and cleanliness requirements.

 
Typical features of hygienic designing
✔ Cavity-free and smooth geometries
✔ Polished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.8 µm)
✔ No gaps, edges or undercuts
✔ Self-draining components with inclined surfaces
✔ Use of certified materials (e.g. stainless steel 1.4404 / AISI 316L)
✔ FDA conform seals and elastomers

👉 norelem consistently meets these requirements - with a wide range of standardised components for hygienic designing.
