Food Safety Through Better Design

Vancouver, BC – Justin Lai, Vice President of Marketing & Sales for FPS – Food Process Solutions Corporation has been appointed to the Northwest Food Processors Associations (NWFPA) Sanitary Design Task Force.

“FPS leads the industry and has grown exponentially due to our commitment to revolutionizing hygienic standards,” stated Lai. “While we design and manufacture cooling and freezing equipment, keeping food safe is what drives our day-to-day work and it is a pleasure join forces with others who share this passion”, continues Lai.

Headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, FPS – Food Process Solutions now has over 140,000 square feet of manufacturing space and provides freezing and cooling solutions to a global clientele.

The Northwest Food Processors Association is based in Portland, Oregon and one of its key mandates is education. The first comprehensive guide developed by the Sanitary Design Task Force is titled Sanitary Design Made Simple for the Rest of Us and contains check lists, images and simple graphics to make sanitary design easy to understand. The guide is set to be released later this month.

Slim Profile CIP System

Consistent quality cleaning within a tight time frame is a concern of all food processors. Given the size of tunnel and spiral freezers, manual cleaning is time consuming and produces inconsistent results. The FPS slim profile CIP system can be retrofitted into existing tunnels, low tension spirals and self-stacking spirals to address all sanitary concerns. With efficient performance and recirculating cleaning cycles, freezers are effectively cleaned after every shutdown and ready to operate after the CIP cycle.
