Efficient control of production processes in the food and beverage industry with the 3-A certified transmission probe from Hellma. Hygienic requirements are becoming increasingly strict for production processes, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. 3-A certification is an established hygiene standard in the USA. The hygiene criteria, which were originally defined for the dairy industry, set some of the highest standards for technical plant equipment. This certification guarantees that all surfaces that come into contact with products are very easy to clean and sterilize according to 3-A standards. 3-A certification help guarantee that plants are compatible with CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilization in place).
To meet the hygiene requirements for production units, Hellma has developed a 3-A certified UV/Vis/NIR optical immersion probe for series production.
