CENTRIFUGAL AND PD PUMPS FOR MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS

With the China Milk Products contamination, which is extremely serious ,it is high time we look
at Compliance seriously

Contaminations can come from raw material , production and even equipment used in the
production .There are various established International Standard and Guidelines. some of which are as follow

3-A This standard has the purpose of establishing and documenting the material ,
fabrication and installation (where appropriate) requirements for the engineering
design and technical construction files for all porducts ,assemblies and sub-assemblies
supplied by the manufacturer .The manufacturer has to be in compliance with the
sanitary criteria found in 3 -A Sanitary Standards pr 3-A Accepted Practice , which is
for dairy and food processing equipment

ALL ALFA LAVAL PUMPS RANGES CONFORM TO THIS 3-A STANDARD

FDA The Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the USA is the enforcement agency of the
US Goverment for food ,drug and cosmetics manufacturing
All The manufacturer of food ,drug and cosmetics in the USA are required to that
products are safe

USDA The United States Department of Agriculture (USA ) primarily responsible for
regulating biotechnology in the United States

EHEGDG European Hygenic Equipment Design Group was formed in the European
Community to promote hygiene during processing and packaging of
food products



Hope the Malaysian Food Manufacturers will be more aware of the such requirements
and more importantly the desire to Hygenic Operation
However ,very rarely we find manufacturer mentioning of any compliance requirement
for the intended purchase of the equipments /pumps . Seem that the only concern is
what is the lowest price , compliance disregarded
