The Importance of Cleanrooms in Food Processing

A food processing cleanroom minimizes contamination during food and beverage production and packaging. As such, these spaces offer a high degree of control, with strict parameters for air particles, temperature, humidity, lighting and living organisms.

They are designed to meet the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14644-1: 2015. A food processing cleanroom design must also conform to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations.

The Difference Between a Food Processing Cleanroom & a Regular Cleanroom

Food processing cleanrooms and regular cleanrooms both aim to control the concentration of airborne particles. However, food processing cleanrooms have strict rules and more stringent hygiene standards. Food cleanrooms prioritize preventing foodborne illnesses and increasing the shelf life of food products by minimizing the number of germs and fungi that come into contact with products. Regular cleanrooms focus on protecting sensitive products like electronics from dust and particles.

Due to the focus on food production, specialized cleanrooms can differ from their regular counterparts by using materials that are food-safe and easy to sanitize.

Modular cleanroom

Where Are Food Processing Cleanrooms Used?

Cleanroom food processing is a critical part of production in various facilities throughout the food and beverage industry. They are commonly used in:

  • Meat and dairy processing plants
  • Beverage production facilities
  • Bakeries
  • Food packaging facilities

Regardless of where you use your cleanrooms, Starrco can design and manufacture these spaces to fit your application.
