Certified hygienic design

NGI is the only company in the world being able to offer 3-A, EHEDG and USDA certified hygienic leveling feet.

Normally the floor is the last place to be cleaned. If there are unhygienic deposits on the machine feet, there is a considerable risk that these will end up on the machine or system again due to the fact that high pressure cleaning is the most common way of cleaning floors.

So the first step is to ensure that the machine foot doesn’t in itself constitute a hygiene risk. How can fluid, food or powder residues be removed from a thread? Even more important, how can they be prevented from getting onto the thread in the first place?

Finding the answers to these questions through the innovative design of machine feet of uncompromising quality and reliability that also minimize the time needed for cleaning, is the core of NGI’s hygiene philosophy.

How to ensure that machine feet are hygienic:

How to ensure that components are hygienic:

  • Use a component with a 3A, EHEDG or USDA certificate
  • Use a foot with a spindle which is covered by a sleeve and sealed with o-rings at both ends
  • Use a foot with vulcanized rubber, which accommodates slopes on the floor and is designed to avoid capillary action
  • Use a foot made in stainless steel
  • Use a foot that will stand solidly and securely on the floor and will be able to absorb vibration
  • Use a foot with no unnecessary corners and edges; this facilitates the cleaning process
  • Use an adjustable foot without an exposed thread
  • Use a bearing house which is produced in sturdy grilamid with co-moulded FDA-approved TPU seals
  • Use a bearing house with hygienic bolts and nuts as standard.
  • Use a bearing house with patented seal system 
  • Use a bearing house which provides easy access for cleaning from all angles

Certifications

Why choose certified components?

Professional stakeholders in the food industry are increasingly demanding risk documentation and quality control of foodstuffs, hygiene and environmental impact.

NGI is the only supplier of 3A and EHEDG-certified leveling feet for the food industry.

Choosing a double-certified leveling foot ensures that the foundation of your production equipment complies with the strictest demands for hygiene, environmental impact and durability.

The hygienic standard of your production equipment is a crucial competitive parameter when it comes to winning an order or being authorized as a new supplier of machinery.
For many years we have had a close collaboration with the founding organizations of the 3A end EHEDG standards in order to secure the future development of the certifications.

NGI washdown test – certified hygienic vs. fully-threaded

 

Task Force wash down test

Estimated savings 28%

Benefits of a hygienic foot

  • The spindle is covered by a sleeve and has no exposed thread
  • Hygienic sealing rings
  • Self-draining surfaces
  • Low surface roughness

Cleaning according to Ecolab specification

  • The hygienic foot and fully-threaded foot are similarly soiled in sour yoghurt containing fluorescents

Cleaning process:

  • Rinse with water
  • Distribute cleaning detergents
  • Rinse with water until visibly clean

 

Visible results after the cleaning process

  • The fully-threaded foot looks clean with the human eye even though it is not clean
  • Unfortunately, this is standard procedure and accepted as a satisfactory cleaning result
  • A lot of bacteria stick to the exposed thread on the fully-threaded foot

UV lighting used to expose bacteria

  • The certified hygienic leveling foot is clean
  • The spindle on the fully-threaded leveling foot is contaminated with bacteria
  • Fully-threaded vs. hygienic: It takes 28% more resources to reach the same level of cleanliness on a fully- threaded foot
  • Resources could be time, water, detergents etc.

​The green color indicates the invisible bacteria
