There are many things to consider when it comes to the pipework systems of the food production industry. From choosing the most durable materials for your pipes to ensuring that they are in optimal hygienic and sanitary conditions, you need to take every step possible to ensure that your system will function properly for years to come.

Process piping systems rarely travel in a direct line from one process to the next. Today's processing systems are typically a tangled web of twists, turns, elevation shifts, fittings, and more.

If you want your finished system to work as intended, you need to know when and when to use a press-formed pipe, as is the case with most pipeline factors.

This blog will discuss the benefits of using pipe bends in pipework system design, as well as some preventative maintenance strategies for stainless steel pipe bends.

Factors to Think About When Selecting Stainless Steel Bends

There are many moving parts in the food production industry's piping systems. To guarantee your pipework system will serve you well for years to come, you should take every precaution, from selecting the best long-lasting materials to keeping it clean and tidy.

Several considerations should be made when choosing stainless steel pipe bends for a certain application in pipework systems. These include, but are not limited to:

The material quality of the stainless steel should be your first consideration when making your choice. There are numerous grades of stainless steel, each with its own set of features and characteristics that make it ideal for a particular set of tasks. It is crucial to pick a stainless steel grade that can withstand the heat, corrosion, and stresses of the production process.

Also, consider the potential uses of the pipe bends. The types of bends that can be employed for a given task vary widely. When choosing stainless steel bends, it is important to consider factors such as the required bend radius, the required level of corrosion resistance, and the temperature and pressure requirements of the application.
The method used to create the stainless steel bends is also crucial to consider. The bends might vary in quality and uniformity depending on the production method. Mandrel bending, roll bending, and rotary draw bending are the three most popular techniques used to create bends out of stainless steel. Each approach has benefits and drawbacks, so picking the right one is crucial.

Stainless steel bends are certified and meet industry standards for usage in demanding industries like the food, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries. As a result, it's crucial to check that the bends have relevant certifications and standards accreditations. This guarantees the integrity, dependability, and legality of the arcs.

Cost is usually a concern when making a purchase, and stainless steel bends are no different. The number of bends needed, the quality of the material, and the complexity of the production process all affect the final price. The best value may be achieved by balancing the bends' price with the needs of the application.

Value of High-Quality Stainless Steel Bends for Pipes

Pipe bends enable the smooth transportation of materials through intricate piping systems with minimal pressure changes.

Pipe bends are typically simple to execute inside a processing system utilising flanges or other connection methods, as most pipe bends do not affect the piping's ends.

The pipework systems used in the food manufacturing industry rely heavily on stainless steel pipe bends. They enable pipelines to reroute around barriers and connect to different types of machinery. Low-quality pipe bends can be very expensive for food manufacturing facilities due to leaks, contamination, and increased downtime. High-quality stainless steel pipe bends are perfect for use in the food preparation business since they are easy to clean and meet all applicable hygiene standards.

Stainless steel pipe bends are your best bet when working with acidic foods because of their corrosion resistance. The integrity of the piping system can be compromised by leaks or contamination if low-quality pipe bends are used. Stainless steel pipe bends of the highest quality are constructed to endure extreme heat and pressure, guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of the pipework system.

Takeaway

The piping systems used in the food processing industry rely heavily on stainless steel pipe bends. The reliability, efficiency, and cleanliness of the pipework system, as well as its conformance to hygienic requirements, can all benefit from the use of high-quality pipe bends. If you want your piping systems to last as long as possible and function reliably, you need to inspect and clean them regularly. Learning about the many stainless steel pipe bends available will also allow you to pick the one that will work best for your needs.

Metal-detectable products are essential for food processing plants to ensure safety, but can degrade over time. Silicone U-seals reduce contamination without compromising performance. Know more...
#food-gradestainlesssteelpipe #PipeworkSystems #JacobGroup

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Food safety is one of the most critical aspects of the food industry. Companies producing food must use only the best materials and practices to ensure their products are safe for consumption.

Metal-detectable products are an effective way to ensure that no contamination will occur with your food products, which can lead to health problems or even death if consumed.

To maintain the safety of their output, food processing plants need more than just food-grade stainless steel pipes; they need specific equipment and materials. U-seals, which prevent leaks and contamination, are also crucial parts of equipment used in the food processing industry.

Traditional U-seals, however, can degrade over time, possibly contaminating the food they come into contact with, and are often composed of rubber or other materials. As a solution, silicone U-seals with minuscule particles of metal embedded in them were introduced.

This article will explore the benefits of metal-detectable products for the food industry and how they can help to reduce contamination without compromising performance.

What are Metal-Detectable Products?

Metal-detectable products are made from materials that can be detected by metal detectors. These products are commonly used in food production to help prevent contamination of food products by foreign objects such as metal fragments. Metal-detectable products are typically made from materials that can be scanned for, such as Nitrile, EPDM, FKM and SIlicone and are embedded with tiny metal particles. This means that in case of a breakdown, any particles that have broken off during the production flow are quickly collected and removed just with the help of a strong magnet.

One of the most commonly used metal-detectable products in the food industry is U-seals. U-seals are used in a wide range of food processing and packaging equipment, such as pumps, valves, and conveyors. These rings are used to create a seal between two surfaces to prevent leakage and contamination.

U-seals used in the past were often constructed of rubber or other materials not picked up by metal detectors, and they quickly degraded, potentially contaminating the food supply. This would lead to product recalls, decreased sales, and a tarnished brand image. That's why food processing plants must use U-seals that can be scanned for metal.

The metal-detectable design is resistant to the accumulation of harmful pathogens and fungi. They can maintain their integrity even in severe production environments and are safe for those with allergies and sensitivities.

Benefits of Metal-Detectable Products in the Food Industry

Metal detectability is an important aspect of food safety and security, as it allows manufacturers to be sure that their products are free from contaminants when they leave the warehouse. Metal-detectable products help ensure that no metal or other foreign materials are present in your product.

There are several benefits of using these products in the food industry, such as:

Prevent contamination of food products

The main reason metal-detectable U-seals are used in the food sector is to eliminate contamination. Metal detectors can immediately pinpoint the source of contamination and recover any broken pieces. This gives the supplier time to fix the broken machinery, get rid of the tainted goods, and resume production. It lessens production delays caused by faulty machinery and avoids the need to throw away significant amounts of possibly contaminated products.

U-seals in the food industry can help ensure food safety. Using metal-detectable U-seals ensures no trace of metal in your product, so you can focus on making sure your product is safe for consumption.

Minimise Production Downtime and Costly Repairs

Using metal-detectable U-seals has a few obvious benefits. The Food and Drug Administration and European regulations have stringent regulations to keep hazardous non-food substances out of the food chain. Sealing systems that use metal detectors to find missing elastomeric pieces are a simple way to comply with American FDA and European regulations. Temporary production downtime may be minimised, and manufacturers can avoid costly and time-consuming repairs.

Product loss can be minimised by using metal-detecting U-seals in the food and beverage industry. In the age of metal detectors, there's no need to worry that a whole manufacturing run was damaged because of a few contaminated objects.

Silicone is an excellent material for the food industry because of its durability and resistance to high temperatures, solvents, and ultraviolet light.

Silicone metal-detectable U-seals have been given the green light for use in food processing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which gives consumers the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the products in question are up to the requirements.

While silicone metal detecting U-seals may be more expensive up front, they save money in the long term by lowering the likelihood of product recalls and damage to a company's image.
Takeaway
Using metal-detectable products in the food industry is essential for ensuring food safety and regulatory compliance. With the increasing focus on food safety in the industry, the use of metal-detectable products is likely to become even more important in the coming years. As a result, food manufacturers should consider incorporating metal-detectable U-seals and other products into their operations to help prevent contamination and ensure the safety and quality of their products.

Pipe supports are an important part of any piping process design, helping to ensure the pipes are properly supported and prevent problems from occurring. This article looks at some factors to consider when choosing them. #StainlesssteelpipeUK #JacobGroupUK #PipeworkSystems

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pipe supports are an important part of any piping process design. They help to ensure that the pipes are properly supported, which can prevent several problems from occurring.

In this article, we'll look at how pipe supports can help with the optimal operation of your piping system and some factors you should consider when choosing pipe supports.
What Is A Pipe Support?
Safe and efficient piping system engineering relies heavily on pipe supports in the UK.

Like other pipe components, support can benefit from being implemented during design and system implementation to greatly decrease costs and facilitate installation.

The phrase "pipe supports" is sometimes used interchangeably with "pipe restraints," although these two components have distinct purposes.

The purpose of supports is to tie the pipe system with structural elements for greater safety and support for all aspects of the piping process and to shoulder and distribute loads across the system in a manner that allows for safe operation.

They serve to absorb and distribute the force of vertical loads in most circumstances.
What Are the Functions of Pipe Supports?
The purpose of pipe supports is to hold the pipe in place and prevent it from moving or shifting.

When installed correctly, pipe supports can protect your piping system from damage caused by:

Movement caused by earthquakes

Movement caused by vibrations

Friction between pipes and surrounding surfaces (such as concrete)

Rising temperatures causing the expansion of the metal pipes

Factors to Consider When Choosing Pipe Supports
Choosing pipe supports is a crucial task that requires careful consideration of a variety of factors. Some of these factors are listed below:

The size of the pipe support is equal to or slightly larger than the pipe diameter. The difference varies from one manufacturer to another and from one type of support to another. However, it should be noted that the larger the diameter of the pipe, the larger its supports must be.

Whatever connection is required also depends on the material or type of pipe and its size. Different diameters and shapes of pipes require different connectors.

Whether or not the pipe has flanges is a major factor in deciding which connector type is best. Engineers must know whether or not the pipe is flanged to determine the most appropriate pipe supports.

U-bolts, split bands, and saddle clamps are all common options for supporting pipes.

To prevent galvanic corrosion, stainless steel pipes in the UK must not come into contact with galvanised steel. Instead, you should use a pipe clamp with a rubber liner to separate the two.

The pressure rating of pipe support refers to how much weight it can withstand before failing under pressure. This information is usually provided by the manufacturer or supplier and should be consulted when choosing a particular type of support. A higher pressure rating indicates better durability against high pressures, while lower ratings indicate lower durability against high pressures.

Each of these factors affects where the supports are placed, and the kind of connection used. You'll be able to place the pipe supports more conveniently once you've considered all other factors.
Takeaway
Someone tasked with locating and installing pipe supports must have a good notion of where those supports should go. However, a trusted distributor will be able to demonstrate how to place their pipe supports in a way that ensures optimum performance.

Rubber Seals and its Design: A Comprehensive Overview

# data[].attributes.body
Rubber seals come in a variety of styles, and the O-ring is a popular industrial rubber seal that employs compressive deformation to create a barrier between mating surfaces and control fluid flow. This article will review the elements of rubber seals and explain why they are important in the design. #SteelDucting #PipeworkSystems #JacobGroupUK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Rubber seals are an important part of any industrial or commercial application. They prevent leakage and can seal a multitude of different pipe materials.

Rubber seals are also a critical part of the ducting system, and they are designed to provide a tight seal between the different components of a system. They are also used to protect and seal steel ducting from any kind of damage.

The rubber seals in the UK are made from high-quality materials such as NBR, Silicone, EPDM & FKM, which provide excellent resistance to abrasion, ozone, and weathering. Rubber seals are used in a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to pumps, valves, pipe fittings, and vacuum seals, to prevent the leakage of food materials transported in pipes. Rubber seals come in a variety of styles. Several factors go into designing a rubber seal that will allow it to work well in its intended setting.

The O-ring is a popular industrial rubber seal that employs compressive deformation to create a barrier between mating surfaces and control the fluid flow between them. Several elements must be considered in constructing the O-ring to withstand the compressive force and keep the seal functioning.

This article will review the elements of rubber seals and explain why they are important in the design.

Rubber Seals: 5 Important Design Factors to Consider

Rubber seals are designed to seal the mating surfaces of two components, preventing any leakage and withstanding high pressure. The design of a rubber seal is critical to its performance.

There is a wide variety of rubber seal compositions on the market, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. To choose the right material for your piping system, it's important to take into account things like:

Determining the material's resistance to exposure to particular chemicals is one of the most critical aspects of rubber seals' design and material selection because it determines how well the material will perform under harsh conditions. Some edible items can have an adverse reaction with some materials while having little to no influence on others.

Chemicals from inside and outside sources can affect how well your rubber seal performs over time. For example, if you choose a material not chemically compatible with your process or environment, it may degrade prematurely or perform poorly over time due to chemical degradation or corrosion.

Compressing the O-ring between the mating surfaces is necessary for a reliable seal. This compression works to prevent any leaks by producing a distortion. To get the right amount of compressive force and deformation from an O-ring, its cross section must be bigger than the duct depth.

As the mating surfaces come together, the O-ring seal has compressed axially, with equal and opposing forces acting at the top and bottom of the seal. The O-ring should compress and form a seal as the two surfaces meet. But, if the O-ring is too big, it will overpack the gland and prevent the mating surfaces from sticking together.

Another important design consideration for rubber seals is temperature resistance. Rubber material becomes brittle when exposed to extreme temperatures, so your rubber seals must be designed for the operating temperature range of your application. The temperature range of a rubber seal also determines its lifespan, which is why you should choose quality materials designed specifically for your application needs. Some applications use special formulas of silicone grease to protect their seals from heat exposure; others use advanced materials like carbon fibre composites instead of conventional rubber materials to protect their seals against high temperatures.

The relative motion between the mating surfaces is a hallmark of dynamic applications, so care must be taken to minimise friction. Because of the frictional forces created, a seal used in a reciprocating application might eventually wear out through repeated abrasion, extrusion, and nibbling. The Joule effect causes friction to create heat, which can cause a seal to expand too much and cause problems in rotary applications. Each situation may be made more manageable with thoughtful consideration given to groove design, lubrication, and operating speed. Materials with higher abrasion and tear resistance are preferred over silicone and their counterparts in dynamic applications.

Rubber seals should be made pressure resistant so that they can withstand high-pressure forces while protecting the machinery properly from any kind of damage caused by this high-pressure force during operation. It also prevents leakage during operation, which can cause serious damage if not taken care of properly by using proper materials in manufacturing these seals, like neoprene rubber or silicone elastomers which have good resistance against pressure.

Takeaway

In conclusion, rubber seals are an essential part of any industrial process. Whether they are used to prevent leakage or to seal materials, they can significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of your business. With the right design, you can be sure the seal will last long, even under intense pressure.

When looking for steel pipes, you might be surprised that they come in two different types: galvanised and non-galvanised. Before you make your selection, it's important to understand the differences between these two types of pipe.

This blog will explore the differences between galvanised steel pipes and non-galvanised pipes so that you can make an informed decision about what's right for your facility.

But let's dive into the definitions of galvanised and non-galvanised pipes.

Galvanised steel pipes are the most common type of steel pipes used in construction. They are made by using a hot-dip galvanising process, which is a chemical coating that protects the steel from corrosion. The hot-dip galvanising process uses molten zinc to coat the steel pipe's surface, which protects it from rusting. Other galvanisation techniques include continuous galvanisation, electroplating, mechanical plating, thermal spraying, and diffusion.

Pipes and pipe components manufactured by Jacob UK are protected against corrosion in steel so that they may operate reliably under a wide range of environmental conditions. With our stainless steel modular pipework system, you can choose from various product categories, such as spray-primed, galvanised, and powder-coated pipes.

Non-galvanised steel pipes do not have this protective layer on them, and so they tend to rust faster than galvanised ones. The main reason why non-galvanised steel pipes are not as popular as galvanised ones is that they are more expensive and harder to work with because they require extra care when cut or drilled into.

Steel pipes are used for many things, from building homes to transporting products in manufacturing plants. They can be made of many different kinds of metals, but galvanised steel is one of the most common.

Galvanised steel has a coating of zinc on its surface that resists corrosion. This helps prevent rusting, which can be a problem because it weakens the metal. Non-galvanized steel doesn't have this coating and may need more frequent maintenance to avoid corrosion.

Both types of metal can be used in construction projects or other applications. However, each has distinct advantages and disadvantages that make them better suited for certain situations than others.

While non-galvanised steel can withstand salt water, it deteriorates rapidly in chlorinated water, making galvanised steel the superior choice. For this reason, galvanised steel is preferable to stainless steel when two components produce friction and fuse. Jacob UK recommends its galvanised pipes be used in the agricultural industry.

Non-galvanised steel, in contrast to galvanised steel, is both stronger and more corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for usage in industries like aerospace, where durability is of the utmost importance. Stainless steel's high strength and resistance to corrosion from seawater make it a popular choice for constructing bridges and other structures, sculptures, train lines, and automobiles that rely on a sturdy foundation.

The cost of galvanised pipes is lower than that of non-galvanized pipes in the long run. This is because galvanised pipes are more durable than non-galvanised ones and do not corrode easily.

The strength of galvanised pipes depends on the thickness of the coating. The thicker the coating, the better it will be able to withstand corrosion from chemicals in the water or other substances that may come in contact with it. That is why galvanised steel pipes are stronger than non-galvanised steel pipes.

Because galvanised pipes have a protective coating that prevents rusting, they are much more resistant to corrosion than non-galvanised ones. This makes them ideal for use in areas with high humidity or exposure to saltwater or other corrosive substances like acids or alkalis.

To avoid the production of toxic zinc fumes when heated, galvanised steel is not suitable for use in high-temperature applications. Galvanised metal should not be used with utensils or equipment related to food contact surfaces. This is because the zinc coating, which turns into zinc salt when exposed to acids, corrodes far more quickly when consumed alongside acidic foods and beverages.

When it comes to applications that require food safety or can be subjected to high temperatures, it is always better to choose non-galvanised steel rather than galvanised steel.

At Jacob UK, we know that choosing the right steel pipe can be challenging. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision about which type of pipe is right for your needs.

Why you should use Food Grade Stainless Steel

# data[].attributes.body
When looking for modular pipework systems that will comply with the requirements of EC 1935/2004 and FDA regulations, you should consider Jacob because we always strive to provide absolute purity in your production line. Below is an explanation of what you need to know regarding the purchase of food-grade pipes. #JacobGroupUK #FoodGradeStainlessSteel #PipeworkSystems

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you are working with food or other sensitive products, then is it essential that you ensure no foreign bodies or substances make an appearance in your stainless steel. When looking for modular pipework systems that will comply with the requirements of EC 1935/2004 and FDA regulations, you should consider Jacob because we always strive to provide absolute purity in your production line.

At Jacob, all of our components that are designed to come in contact with food are made exclusively of stainless steel featuring a minimum grade of V2A/1.4301. This applies to all elements of the product, including even the screws. We also refrain from using adhesives wherever possible, including in our vulcanised U-shaped seals. This ensures that they meet the European regulations EC 1935/2004 as well as the American food standards stipulated by the FDA, meaning that they are highly resistant to mechanical loads, high temperatures, chemicals, and solvents. If there is a situation where adhesives cannot be avoided, we are always careful to use food-grade adhesives.

If you have any questions about why your stainless steel needs to be food grade, and what that means for your products. Below is an explanation of what you need to know regarding the purchase of food-grade pipes.

Stainless steel is designed to have a clean finish that is resistant to rusting. This is possible due to its blend of iron and chromium, these elements are resistant to many elements that iron cannot withstand on its own, helping to prevent rust. Corrosion or long exposure to water would be detrimental to many metals, but not stainless steel. Stainless steel can be washed or exposed to water without any risk of it rusting, making it much safer when in contact with food.

Because stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, it means that it is very good at keeping surfaces in contact with food or beverages sanitary and ready for use. Stainless steel is designed to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth and is very easy to clean and keep sanitised. Because of the previously mentioned resistance to rust, it is also able to be cleaned more frequently than other types of metal.

In addition to being strong, safe and hard to corrode, there is another benefit to using food-grade stainless steel. It lacks the absorbancy of some other metals, meaning that it doesn't absorb colours, odours or other chemicals. When working in an industry that requires quick and frequent sanitisation, the reduced absorbency is highly beneficial and another reason why stainless steel is widely used for food, surgery, and other uses.

If you've spent any time looking up stainless steel, you've likely been greeted by a wide range of different numbers acting as descriptors. Stainless steel comes in a variety of different 'grades'. These grades are used as a way to differentiate different kinds of stainless steel based on what they are capable of doing and what they can handle. There are many different types of food-grade stainless steel, and below is a breakdown of each option.

At Jacob, all of our stainless steel offerings are V2A/1.4301 (aka 304) or higher, meaning that you can always guarantee food safety and quality from our products. So if you a looking to purchase food-grade pipes for your facility, consider getting in contact with Jacob and have a look at our wide array of food-grade stainless steel. You will not be disappointed.

At Jacob, we pride ourselves on providing the perfect pipework systems for many areas of application. Jacob's multi-way distributors offer you a compact solution to convey bulk goods to many different machines or silos, with a number of different diameters and types to fit any kind of production need. If you're wondering what a multi-way or turn head distributor is and how it works, this blog is here to guide you.
What are multi-way or turn head distributors What versions are Jacob's turn head distributors available in? ?
Attached to a production line, multi-way or turn head distributors allow you to send bulk products like grain to different locations, containers or machines by making use of gravity. A hollow, conical apparatus with a movable turn pipe inside it, a turn head distributor is designed to fit seamlessly with Jacob's Pipework Systems by means of pneumatic pressing-on to outlet-sleeves to allow product to flow through without spillage. The movable turn pipe is able to be rotated and attached to different pipes depending upon where you want to send the product. The outlets that are not currently in use are pneumatically blocked off to prevent loss of product. Jacob's multi-way distributors are available in a range of configurations with up to 2 x 20 outlets.

We have several versions of our turn head distributors available for many different uses. These are:

This type of turn head distributor uses one rotating turn pipe to connect to the various outlets inside the pipework system. This distributor is supported by means of four lugs fixed to the lower funnel circumference and is electrically operated with a gear motor of 380-400 volts, 3-phase, 50Hz. This type of turn head distributor is perfect for applications where no internal dust-tightness is required, such as the distribution of granular bulk goods. Also available in Jacob Food-Grade, blue silicone and metal-detectable ranges on request.

Similar to the single turn head distributor 45 ° and 60 °, the double turn head distributors are also suitable for applications where no internal dust-tightness is required. However, instead of a single rotating turn pipe, a double turn head distributor has two counter-rotating turn pipes distributing product to two locations at the same time. This distributor is also supported by means of four lugs fixed to the lower funnel circumference and the gear motor used to operate it also has the same configurations. Also available in Jacob Food-Grade, blue silicone and metal-detectable ranges on request.

This type of turn head distributor is used for applications where there is a need for internal dust-tightness, such as for the distribution of powdered bulk-goods (powdered milk, flour, spices etc). Unlike the normal version, where the rotary pipe seal is pressed on with two pressure springs, the dust-tight version seals the turn-pipe outlet using pneumatic pressing to prevent leakages and wastage.

The necessary operating pressure for this type of distributor is a minimum of 6 bar, and the apparatus is electrically operated with a gear motor of 380-400 volt, 3-phase, 50Hz. Also available in Jacob Food-Grade, blue silicone and metal-detectable ranges on request.

The final type of turn head distributor available at Jacob allows you to pneumatically seal off outlets not in use. The swivel pipe outlet is sealed using pneumatic pressing-on of the telescopic pipe onto the outlet sleeve, preventing any loss of product. Similar to the rest of the types, this one is also supported by means of four lugs fixed to the lower funnel circumference and is operated electronically with a gear motor of 380-400 volts, 3-phase, 50Hz. Also available in the Jacob Food-Grade range on request.

All of our turn head distributors are available with 4-20 outlets. Get in touch with the Jacob team to explore your options and select the right number of outlets, type of distributor, the best material and the right diameters for your application.

Very commonly used in most industrial applications, an O-ring is a mechanical gasket or seal that is used to seal adjustable pipes. This gasket is named so because of its circular cross-section and is essential for any mechanical system to help prevent leakages. Let’s look at the history of the O-ring and some of its most common applications. https://bit.ly/38HgbPU

Food grade is a label that most of us see on regular basis. Some products proudly display their food-grade status, others prefer to hide the fact. But what does it mean? Why is it important and what are some food-grade materials?

In this article, we will try to shed some light on these questions and a few more.

"Food-grade" is a term that describes the materials that are utilized in equipment that is used for the handling of food. To be classified as "food-grade," materials must be free of toxins and be suitable for human ingestion.

As a general rule though, food grade is a term used to describe products that are safe and suitable for human consumption. The term can also be used to describe products that are safe for use in food preparation areas of restaurants and other foodservice businesses.

This includes packaging materials as well as things like silverware, dishes used in restaurants, and even food-grade pipes through which food is manufactured and transferred.

However, the term "food grade" is solely used to describe the material of the equipment and does not imply that the equipment, as a whole, is safe for food. For example, aluminium foil is considered food grade, but you would never eat it.

Toxicity and health concerns are the major issue when it comes to food-grade pipes and materials.

There are a few reasons to care about using food grades materials.

Equipment used in the production of food items needs to be food-grade because they come into close touch with the food. Toxic chemicals in the materials may seep into the exposed product, or in rare cases, they may transfer straight into the food to be ingested. These dangers can be avoided if food-grade equipment is used.

Manufacturing and packaging operations rely on food-grade pipes and materials. To preserve the product's ideal characteristics, high-quality food-grade components are essential. Purity standards are maintained by using food-grade packaging only.

For something to be considered food grade, it must meet certain requirements:

Typical materials considered for use as food grade include metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics, although there are special considerations for some of these materials. For example, lead is not a metal you'd want to have in something that comes into contact with food.

Food-grade pipes and materials are designed to be strong enough to withstand the rigours of normal handling and storage, while still being chemically stable enough to not leach undesirable chemicals into the food they are handling.

Stainless steel is often found in kitchens, restaurants, bars, and hospitals. It is usually a sign of high quality and durability. Most manufacturing plants, food processing and packaging facilities that deal primarily with food items also use food-grade stainless steel in all their equipment for minimum contamination and easy sanitisation.

It is not enough that stainless steel is designated as "food grade" to assume that it is the most appropriate material for your manufacturing process. Food-grade stainless steel comes in a wide variety of forms, each with its unique compositions and qualities. The two most popular varieties are 304 and 316L.

Food-grade pipes are made from stainless steel that is specially designed to be safe for food handling. They are non-toxic and will not contaminate the product being shipped or transferred through them. Food-grade pipes can be used in locations where food products are stored or prepared, such as large manufacturing plants, storage, processing or packaging facilities, precisely because it is non-corrosive, has very high heat resistibility and does not react with chemicals or food.

Food grade piping is one of the most important components within the food processing industry. The piping system is usually made from stainless steel, glass, or polypropylene.

The world of contaminants and chemicals can be a confusing one. To make sure you're making the most of your money, and that you're buying safe equipment for your food production or handling facility, become familiar with the most common food-grade pipes and materials that are legally allowed to be used on food packaging in your location.

With this knowledge, you'll be able to recognize not only what these designations mean for your product, but also how to use them correctly in the future.

FOOD GRADE Line

As far as foods and other sensitive products are concerned, there is no compromising: no foreign bodies or substances are tolerated. This is where the JACOB FOOD GRADE line triumphs. It is the first modular pipework system to comply with the requirements of EC 1935/2004 and FDA regulations. In combination with DETECTABLE DESIGN, JACOB ensures absolute purity in your production line. Anything else is out of the question!

Highest Standards for sensitive Industries

When it comes to food, pharmaceutical and chemical products and other sensitive goods, the highest standards for safety and cleanliness must be met. JACOB meets this challenge with its JACOB FOOD GRADE line. Only products that are ideal for transporting hygiene-sensitive products carry our FOOD GRADE label. Our FOOD GRADE line is a modular stainless-steel pipework system consisting of over 3,000 products that meet the high requirements of the food industry. Our engineering experts have carefully tested all components that come into contact with food and have optimised their design and the material used.

Carefully selected materials

Our FOOD GRADE line components that come into contact with the product are made exclusively of stainless steels featuring a minimum grade of V2A/1.4301. This applies down to the last detail, such as the smallest screws. Our vulcanised U-shaped seals are made without adhesives. They meet the European regulations EC 1935/2004 as well as the American food standards stipulated by the FDA and are highly resistant to mechanical loads, high temperatures, chemicals, and solvents. Wherever possible, we refrain from using adhesives. Where this is not possible, we use food grade adhesives.

Jacob Pipework Systems in the Food Industry

Südzucker

For Südzucker, JACOB worked in collaboration with its distributor Kastenmüller, a specialist in mill and silo construction, to develop a custom distribution system. The task: Granulated sugar needed to be evenly distributed to the 12 outlets of a screening machine. All the components had to meet the specifications of EC 1935/2004, as well as American FDA food standards. The seals had to be detectable by metal detectors in order to ensure absolute product purity.

Cyclones:
Utilising centrifugal force, cyclones within a pipework system ensure that solid particles are separated out. Cyclones are often used in industry to recover raw materials from the production process or generally to remove solid particles before recirculating the air. The range of applications is therefore accordingly wide. Our cyclones are used in the timber, plastics and tobacco industries, for example. Our standard cyclones are available in diameters ranging from 250 to 1000 mm with lipped connections, and with diameters from 1120 to 2300 mm with welded-on flanges. For diameters up to 1250 mm, the material thickness can be 2 or 3 mm, and larger diameters are manufactured with a material thickness of 3 mm. Cyclones are available in powder-coated, galvanised or stainless steel versions. Please note that cyclones are passive components. The way they work depends on the volumetric flow, the pressure loss and the material load and particle size.

The nominal diameters refer to the diameter of the cyclone body. The size of the cyclone inlet can be dimensioned with a diameter of between 80 and 900 mm.

The volumetric flow indicated applies for a flow velocity of approx. 20-24 m/sec in the pipe system at the cyclone connection. The separation rate and pressure loss were determined based on a material load of 1 kg/m³.

We custom-build cyclones according to your individual requirements and we also help you to select the right cyclone for the job. Further models and diameters are available on request. Please call us for further information.
The advantages for you:

Easy to incorporate in the JACOB modular system

Easy maintenance through modular design
