Understanding of Sanitary And Stainless Steel Products

Again ,we came across another established Company using Sanitary Pipes ,SS storage tanks
for milk related products as raw material BUT....Cast Iron Gear Pumps and something is really
wrong here

Also .some Ball Valves used non sanitary but Standard industrial valves
Looks like there is a mixed up or ignorant

When we talk about sanitary pumps in food industry , we talk about cleanability which means how thoroughly the pump can be clean manually or CIP.And there are few levels of cleanability
for each requirement.Pharmaceutical will require the highest

And not just the pump being shining or looks clean


Management plays a very important part , as most tend to be overly conscious about cost
and the Engineering department may have difficulty in explaining between the product and
price .The mindset is always " go for the cheapest " in most SMEs and engineering department
is always under pressure to go for the lowest
