Technical Handbook: Handbook for Power Supply Design of Food Machinery and Equipment
High-pressure cleaning, lockout, overseas standards. We have organized the points of confusion regarding the power supply of food machinery, along with a checklist.
The power switch of food machinery not only controls the power supply but also plays a role in disconnecting the power during cleaning and maintenance to prevent reactivation. Depending on the installation location, it may be exposed to cleaning water and chemicals on a daily basis. This document is a technical handbook summarizing key points for the design of power supply systems from the perspectives of hygiene, safety, and maintenance, aimed at designers from food machinery manufacturers and equipment personnel in food factories. It organizes relevant laws and standards such as the Food Sanitation Act (HACCP), Article 107 of the Labor Safety and Health Regulations, EU Machinery Directive, and the NFPA 79 in the United States in a tabular format. Additionally, it explains concepts such as protection levels and IP69K, the chemical resistance of stainless steel and plastics, lockout procedures, "disconnection guarantee" where contacts do not remain ON even if they are welded, and explosion-proof measures. It includes confirmation items for design meetings, checklists for hygienic and safety design, case studies, as well as specifications and external dimensions of our disconnect switches. A4 size, 40 pages in total.
