With the emphasis on food safety production and processing in social development, today's food production and manufacturing enterprises are very strict in controlling each stage.
The management of storage equipment is also a top priority for food companies. When choosing plastic pallets that come into contact with food, you should not be careless at all. You must also understand these three major equipment regulations for food storage.
1. Regulations on food material warehouse equipment
For the raw materials and auxiliary materials for food production and processing, the food warehouse must ensure that it is not mildewed, rotted, or deteriorated during storage. Control the quality of materials to prevent food hygiene from not being in place and causing safety impacts.
At the same time, do a good job of cleaning process registration, and rodent control inspection and scheduling, and do a good job in the reward and punishment system for food storage management.
For some special food materials, such as perishable food such as vegetables and fruits, we must ensure that the temperature of the food storage environment is not too high or too low, and it is not stored in the open air. Choose plastic pallets and plastic pallet boxes with good ventilation to ensure good ventilation.
In areas with high temperatures or great changes, if you need to store vegetables and fruits for a long time, it is recommended to store them in a fresh-keeping warehouse.
2. Food packaging warehouse equipment regulations
For food packaging materials, we should also pay attention to the storage method. When choosing food packaging materials, be sure to choose materials that can be contacted by food to prevent subsequent packaging from contaminating food. For plastic pallets, plastic pallet boxes, and plastic pallet sleeve boxes, it is recommended to choose new food-grade materials for production. Not only will it be usable in the cold storage room, but it will also last longer.
The warehouse of food packaging materials, like the warehouse of food materials, should pay attention to sanitation and cleaning, and pay attention to the prevention and control of rodents and insects. Packaging that comes into direct contact with food must be stored separately from the outer packaging.
Food packaging materials are recommended to be stacked on plastic pallets, and it is recommended to maintain a standard distance between the stacking materials and the road and walls, and can also be covered with a dust cover.
3. Regulations on equipment for finished food warehouses
Finished food warehouse storage equipment depends on the size of the company and the type of food. The storage temperature of different finished food products is different, and the warehouse of finished food products packaged at room temperature also needs to pay attention to the prevention and control of ants, insects, birds, and mice.
When the environmental humidity is too high, attention should be paid to dehumidification to prevent water vapor in the packaging bags of finished food products, which will contaminate the food and cause mildew. It is recommended to store them in plastic pallets, plastic pallet boxes, and other plastic packaging containers to isolate the water vapor on the ground.
If the finished food products must be stored in cold storage, the building materials of the cold storage must meet the regulations, temperature and humidity recorders should be installed, and timely inspection and registration should be made.
Cold storage plastic pallets need to be manufactured with new materials. If it is used at a low temperature for a long time, it is recommended to choose cold-resistant pallets, special pallets for cold storage, so that the service life will be longer.
