Klimafiltra filtration systems are widely used in national and international food and beverage production facilities. Maintaining the right filter stages, classes, and quantities is essential to ensure the highest air quality standards in production environments.

With increasing health concerns and food safety regulations, manufacturers have adopted advanced filtration technologies to comply with international standards. This has led to enhanced air quality control in production facilities, ensuring safer and longer-lasting food products.

Key Standards & Regulations:

  • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
  • FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
  • HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)
  • GHP (Good Hygiene Practices)

The Role of Filtration in Food Production

By implementing hygienic ventilation systems with proper filtration stages, manufacturers can reduce airborne particles, thereby increasing the shelf life of products. Klimafiltra filters are widely used in the production of:

  • Chocolate & Confectionery
  • Dairy Products
  • Frozen & Processed Foods
  • Cooked & Processed Meat
  • Fruits, Vegetables & Bakeries

Clean Room Classifications for Food Processing

  • Yogurt filling & packaging areas should meet ISO 8 (Class 100,000), ensuring that particles of 0.5 μm remain below 100,000 ft³.
  • This requires a well-designed HVAC system with 3 to 4 filtration stages, where the final stage should be HEPA filters.
  • FFU (Fan Filter Units) with laminar flow can be integrated into yogurt filling machines, reducing airborne particles to ISO 5 (100 particles/ft³ at 0.5 μm).

Hygienic Airflow & Ducting Recommendations

  • Conditioned, multi-stage filtered air should be supplied through hygienic ducts.
  • Air return grilles & ducts should be stainless steel for maximum hygiene and durability.
  • The recirculated air should be properly mixed with fresh air in the AHU (Air Handling Unit).

With Klimafiltra’s advanced filtration systems, food and beverage manufacturers can achieve the highest hygiene standards, ensuring safe, high-quality products for consumers.
