Pathways

Completely piped design

The hygienic design of the SilverLine food and beverage processing system includes both food and steam pathways.

            Food Pathway

​

One of the many advantages of the SilverLine is the completely piped design. This allows for variable flow rates and ease of cleaning after a production run. Not all pipes are created equally. 3-A Sanitary Standards specify an internal finish of Ra 32 for piping, but does not require internal ground welds, nor does it regulate outside radii. The SilverLine was designed to exceed 3-A specifications by incorporating pulled ports instead of welded ports, which offer a very cleanable and smooth outside radii. It also features Ra 20 finish piping plus internally ground and polished welds.

             Steam Pathway

​

There is no way around the fact that all steam cookers leak. While this is not a concern for heating food, it creates a cleaning problem because food can leak back into the steam core. Most equipment manufacturers do not clean the steam line to prevent food build-up in the steam core. 3-A has addressed this problem by requiring a culinary check valve in the steam supply line to limit how far back food can make contact. The SilverLine was designed to exceed 3-A specifications by incorporating a steam-side CIP bypass to actively clean the steam line, check valve and steam core.
