“Safety is our top priority at ThermOmegaTech,” said Industrial Sales Manager Andy Reichlin. “We’ve developed innovative tepid water solutions for emergency showers and eyewash stations that meet OSHA and ANSI standards, and we ensure water lines don’t freeze or overheat, protecting personnel and creating a safe working environment. We are also showcasing our new welded STVM® Washdown Station, which is built tougher to give customers another option for their most extreme washdown challenges.”

At Booth #2422, you will discover their thermostatic solutions for safety and maintenance, including the Therm-O-Mix® Tepid Water Delivery Station, ESS Tepid Water Heater, Freeze and Scald Protection Valves, and STVM® Washdown Station.

Federal regulations require that any facility where workers may be exposed to hazardous or corrosive materials must have immediate access to a tepid water emergency drench system to protect the eyes and body in the event of accidental exposure.

The Therm-O-Mix® station consistently supplies tepid water on demand to these fixtures to meet ANSI Z358.1  requirements. Read more about ThermOmegaTech’s Therm-O-Mix® station here.

Factory-packaged with ThermOmegaTech’s Therm-O-Mix® WWM mixing valve, the ESS (Emergency Shower Water Heater) combines cold and tank-heated hot water to deliver a constant 85°F tepid water outlet temperature at the point of use for safety showers and eyewash stations. See how the ESS works here.

ThermOmegaTech’s self-actuating FreezeandScald Protection valves are the ideal solution for protecting personnel and equipment operating safety showers and eyewash stations.

When temperatures approach freezing, the thermostatic freeze protection valve senses water or air temperature and modulates open to bleed off the cold water in the line, helping prevent frozen or burst pipes. Watch the Freeze Protection valve video here .

The scald protection valve senses and purges overheated water from outdoor water supply lines that exceed safe levels, preventing potential scalding injuries.

ThermOmegaTech® supplies an innovative solution to difficult-to-maintain steam and water mixing stations, providing a high-temperature washdown for sanitization procedures at processing plants.

ThermOmegaTech® is eager to connect with end users for case studies and testimonials about our valves, STVM Washdown Station, and the Therm-O-Mix Station.

 

 

 

 

The Importance of Industrial Washdown Stations in Food Processing Facilities

Industrial washdown stations are often used in manufacturing, chemical or petrochemical, and food processing facilities as part of cleaning and sanitation procedures where maintaining hygiene is crucial. A bucket of water with a mop and a cleaning agent does not effectively sanitize a plant the way food processing cleaning equipment can.

Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures in the Food Industry

Using industrial washdown systems for food processing is important because they help to keep the facility clean and sanitary. They also help to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.

Authoritative agencies like the FDA have defined sanitation requirements that each facility must adhere to such as identifying hazards that could impact a production facility.

Food production and detergent residue, liquid, and airborne contamination, transient soil, and microorganisms often are present in food production facilities, which is why washdown stations are recommended in these corporations.

While the hazards present on a production line vary from facility to facility and depend primarily on the specific products produced, they all must be effectively and routinely removed to preserve sanitation and product quality.

Using food processing cleaning equipment can help to reduce costs, too. Regular maintenance and repair of equipment can help to reduce downtime, saving your facility time and money. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of surface areas can also help to reduce labor costs while following a daily process.

Food Processing Cleaning Equipment Limits Downtime

Industrial washdown stations can be used in both commercial and industrial production facilities and are described as stationary equipment that produces a high-pressure and high-temperature stream of water to remove debris while cleaning. However, when used in production facilities such as food processing for meat and dairy, this cleaning equipment offers a fast and efficient cleanup while maintaining sanitation standards.

Food processing cleaning equipment for food processing typically utilizes stations that produce water temperatures at 150°F (65.5°C) or above to quickly cleanse and sanitize surfaces like processing equipment, walls, floors, and other surfaces.

To properly follow cleaning and sanitation procedures for food processing, a washdown system frequently includes a mixing valve that combines hot and cold water along with an industrial-use cleaning agent, if needed.

Using Food Processing Cleaning Equipment Sanitize

Having efficient cleaning equipment in a food processing facility can provide several benefits. By keeping the facility clean, the risk of food contamination is minimized. Food allergies and foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria and viruses can be avoided.

ThermOmegaTech created several washdown systems that offer high-temperature sanitation and maintenance equipment necessary for industrial and food facilities, including steam and water washdown stations with hot water mixing unit hose stations.

To be even more effective, ThermOmegaTech created a specific mixing valve that combines steam and cold water to create a steam water mixing station that lowers the decibel sound in facilities while producing a flow of user-defined stream of water to efficiently sanitize, clean, and kill bacteria.

Choosing The Right Equipment for Food Plant Sanitation

Choosing the right washdown station for your facility can be a challenge. A few key factors should be considered when choosing the equipment for food plant sanitation. Staff should receive proper training on the washdown station when using it, such as donning the correct clothing and protective gear and regularly inspecting and cleaning the equipment.

The ThermOmegaTech® STVM® Washdown Station is used in many processing facilities requiring a high-temperature washdown. Using its proprietary mixing valve, the STVM® industrial washdown station combines steam and cold water at a user-set temperature.

The unique Venturi valve throttles open and closed, using a scouring action that minimizes the buildup of minerals. This offers a quieter wash without the ‘water hammer effect.’ Plus, the in-line cartridge is easy to replace or clean, requiring no special tools and taking just a few minutes.

Ultimately, food processing cleaning equipment is an essential component of food-processing plants. They offer a dependable, safe, and easy-to-implement way of keeping these facilities clean and sanitized.

By following the correct processes and safety protocols, companies can ensure that their food-processing facilities are well maintained and properly sanitized and sustain production line schedules.
