Ergonomic cleaning

 

Cleaning jobs are rarely popular in industry. They are physically demanding and often challenging. Cleaning process machines in particular can be complex. Depending on the design, system parts sometimes have to be dismantled in order to reach hard-to-access areas.

 

Such work can be associated with physical strain and unergonomic postures.

 

amixon® has been developing and manufacturing precision powder mixers for almost all types of bulk materials for over 40 years. Our mixers are equipped with particularly large inspection doors. All areas in the mixing chamber are clearly visible and easily accessible.
This makes cleaning more convenient and more attractive for personnel.

Dead space-free inspection flaps can be installed on all mixer nozzles, including the outlet nozzle. The OmgaSeal® design guarantees hygienic, dead space-free operation.

Hygiene standards and regulations:

  • amixon® mixers fulfil the requirements of the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). The EHEDG recommends constructions that enable a hygienic design and easy cleaning. This includes large, easy-to-open inspection flaps, smooth surfaces and designs free of dead space.
  • In the USA, the 3-A Sanitary Standards are considered authoritative for hygienic machine design. The 3-A standards require that all surfaces that come into contact with the product are easily accessible, easy to clean and free of dead space.
  • The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) also requires hygienic design for all systems that come into contact with food or pharmaceutical products. amixon® mixers consistently comply with these international hygiene standards.

Ease of cleaning and occupational safety Ease of cleaning requires good accessibility to all surfaces that come into contact with the product.

 

At the same time, the safety and health of personnel must not be jeopardised. Rotating, moving or energised parts must be specially secured. Protective devices must be designed in such a way that manipulation is impossible. Even ingenious attempts to circumvent them must not present a hazard. amixon® consistently ensures compliance with all relevant safety regulations. All rotating or moving parts are reliably encapsulated.

Cleaning work is only possible after complete shutdown and energy decoupling. The safety precautions also remain effective during maintenance or inspection.

This means that amixon® mixers combine ease of cleaning with maximum operational reliability.
