Customized SaniClean™ Sanitary Strainer Accommodates Greatly Increased Line Pressures for Major Cheese Processor (.doc)

A major food processor recently wished to increase production on its processed cheese production line. The company needed to increase the operating pressure in the processing pipeline, which in turn would increase the output, without the major expense of adding another production line. When increasing the operating pressure, a safety issue had to be addressed. Company engineers knew its basic processing equipment could safely withstand a 300 psi operating pressure. However, they found their existing high-capacity sanitary basket strainers could not withstand higher operating pressures.
