Residue Risks in Product-Contact Areas: Product Contact Access Around Extraction And Clarification Modules
Product-contact design for fruit juice processing equipment must account for product contact access around extraction and clarification modules.
Around the extraction and clarification modules, provide access for inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations and check drainage at fruit receiving and juice balance connections.
- Assess drainability where fruit juice processing equipment meets fruit receiving and juice balance connections.
- Add inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations at fruit receiving and juice balance connections to routine inspection.

Drainage and Cleaning Access: Line Balance And Product Routing
Product-contact design for fruit juice processing equipment must account for drainage after coordinated extraction and liquid treatment.
Around the line balance and product routing, provide access for inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations and check drainage at pasteurizer and filler headers.
- Assess drainability where fruit juice processing equipment meets pasteurizer and filler headers.
- Add inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations at pasteurizer and filler headers to routine inspection.
Routine Hygiene Inspection Points: Inspect Line Balance And Product Routing And Cross Stage Imbalance Wear
Product-contact design for fruit juice processing equipment must account for cross stage imbalance residue inspection points.
Around the extraction and clarification modules, provide access for inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations and check drainage at plant utility manifold.
- Assess drainability where fruit juice processing equipment meets plant utility manifold.
- Add inspection of line balance and product routing and cross stage imbalance wear locations at plant utility manifold to routine inspection.
