Inert Area
An area in which the risk of biocontamination of the product is average or low to negligible, according to Standard ISO/ DIS 14698-1.
Examples of applications
- Reception areas / low-temperature storage of raw materials (areas of “non-movement”).
- Areas for packaging, cartoning and storage of pre-packed products.
- Air-conditioned workrooms... Air quality “ventilation and air-conditioning systems must not be a source of food contamination” (Order dated 9 May 1995, Art. 3).
Sensitive Area
An area in which the risk of biocontamination of the product is high to average, according to Standard EN/DIS 14698-1.
Examples of applications
- Atmosphere in slicing, carving and processing rooms.
- Atmosphere in pre-packing rooms.
- Maturation areas.
- Sensitive airlock for personnel, equipment and materials...
Air quality High level of microbiological cleanness. Conditioning of atmosphere in turbulent flow in class: 10,000 to 100,000 (fed. std. 209 E), M5.5 to M6.5 (fed. std. 209 E), ISO 7 to ISO 8 (EN 14644-1), according to stage in process.
Recommended air filtration solution
HEPA H10 (EN 1822) efficiency for an average risk level, to HEPA H12 (EN 1822) for a high risk level. “SOFILAIR Green” high flow rate HEPA filtering cell. Inox stainless-steel case located as close as possible to the point of use.
Ultra Sensitive Area
An area in which the risk of biocontamination of the product is very high, according to Standard ISO/DIS 14698-1.
Examples of applications
- Carving, boning, trimming.
- Grinding and fine-grinding areas.
- Slicing areas.
- Areas where food is removed from refrigeration prior to pre-packing.
- Assembly/pre-packing Areas where fermenting agents are prepared ...
Air quality Very high level of microbiological cleanness Close protection: class 100/M3.5 (fed. std. 209 E) or ISO 5 (EN 14644-1) in laminar flow. Atmosphere: class 1000/10,000 (fed. std. 209 E) or ISO 6 / ISO 7 (EN 14644-1)
