Food hygiene and food safety
Food manufacturers, logistics service providers and retailers are subject to maximum standards of hygiene. Our food experts register all details of your hygiene status.
We offer you food hygiene services from sampling and laboratory analysis up to and including concepts for implementing the hygiene regulations and training your staff in-house.
The use of compressed air in production processes runs the risk of contaminating the food. We bring our mobile test stand directly to your production facility and thus perform the check on site. Our laboratory analysts deliver the analysis results. A combination of measurement, analysis and evaluation provides information about the quality of your compressed air. In the event of anomalies, we investigate the causes for you.

Compressed air
Compressed air quality measurements for the food industry
In the food industry, various devices with compressed air are used. Foods can therefore come into direct or indirect contact with compressed air during the production process, leading to a risk of contamination e.g. with oil and particles or microbiological contamination.
High requirements are therefore made on the quality of compressed air. The VDMA 15390-1/2/3 documents describe the compressed air purities for food industry production processes. They also refer to the ISO 8573 guideline series which defines the currently valid limit values and standardised sampling and analysis methods. Thanks to our analyses and expert reports, you are provided with dependable data for documentation within your quality management system.
