Food Industry Ventilation Systems
Custom Designed Dust Collection Solutions
When you’re a food-grade facility, safety, cleanliness and quality are always on your mind. That’s why food manufacturers look for industrial ventilation partners with industry-specific experience. They know a proper ventilation system in food industry applications is key to meeting strict regulatory standards and managing product liability.
What hazards do food safety ventilation systems protect against?
Food manufacturing facilities are often divided into three categories: agriculture, manufacturing and preparation. Here are the hazards associated with them:
Hazard #1: Employee Health & Safety
In the food and beverage industries, worker health and safety is a top priority. Custom designed dust collection systems help create positive working conditions by controlling temperature and humidity.
Hazard #2: Product Safety
Dust, fumes and airborne particulate matter pose significant risks to food and beverage safety. Proper ventilation helps protect food quality.
Hazard #3: Infrastructure
Some ingredients used in food processing are extremely flammable. That makes proper dust collection essential to prevent fire and/or explosion in food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
Hazard #4: Environment
Agricultural, manufacturing and food preparation industries must prevent air pollution and comply with regulatory standards. Proper industrial ventilation helps address this hazard.
Food Processing Ventilation Solutions
IVI designs, engineers, fabricates and installs industrial ventilation in food-grade facilities across the US.
IVI has experience with systems that seek to:
- Minimize cross contamination
- Regulate temperature
- Minimize process waste
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Provide cleaner working environments
Beyond food safety, food-grade facilities also need their ventilation systems to work double time by reducing cross contamination and keeping harmful particulate matter from infiltrating the environment.
IVI: Helping You Stay in Compliance while Keeping Workers Safe
The food processing industry is highly regulated with enforcement by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). IVI’s specialty: Creating custom solutions that keep harmful particulate matter out of the air, helping protect the health and safety of employees and consumers.
Custom Ventilation System for Food Industry
From scoping and planning projects to installation and maintenance, the IVI team brings expertise and strategies for meeting stringent standards. That work often begins with an indoor air quality survey. Following the air quality survey, IVI will help you design, engineer, fabricate and install a turnkey ventilation system to meet your needs and the needs of your facility.
From grain dust collectors to flour mill dust collectors, rice mill dust collectors and beyond, each solution is created to keep components smooth, prevent airflow contamination and maintain positive air pressure.
Regular maintenance is important for limiting downtime. After your project is installed, the IVI team continues to make itself available to address challenges and create proper maintenance schedules. We also recommend monthly, quarterly or yearly scheduled maintenance. Ask your project engineer about setting up a schedule once your next ventilation project is complete.
Food Industry Ventilation Experience and Expertise Combine
Installing a food processing ventilation system is no easy task. IVI is poised to help you design, engineer, fabricate and install your dust collection system from start to finish.
