Looking for Specs on designing FDA equipment.
Looking for Specs on designing FDA equipment.
(OP)
I am a new engineer in designing food handle / packaging Equipment. I am a small design firm that needs to find via internet or purchased books on the do's and don'ts of equipment designing and manufacturing. EX. Blind holes near or above foods have requirements that the hole be through and not blind. The reason I was told was because of contamintates and that the hole must be able to be cleaned. Welds must be free of pits. Other questions that have popped up are "I need to know what kinds of Stainless are acceptable." "What grades of Plastics are acceptable." Can any one help me out. I am located in Holland Mi.,
Thanks in advance my fellow professionals.

What kind of CAD software are you using? Email me and I will send you some examples of the standards. I engineered machines and conveyors for the food industry for about thirty years.

Don't let the BPE (Bio-Process Equipment)name scare you off. I sit on this committee and we just changed the scope to reflect more than just Bio-Pharm applications.
If you have more questions let me know.
