HACCP Certification

Dust Control for Food Industry

Filtration systems designed to meet the strictest hygiene standards: HACCP, NOM-251, FDA 21 CFR, and client certifications such as BRCGS and FSSC 22000.

Specific challenges of the food industry

Dust in food processing goes beyond a nuisance: it's a contamination risk

Product Contamination

Metallic, mineral, or biological dust can contaminate food, causing rejections, product recalls, and brand damage. A single incident can cost millions.

Recalls and Penalties

COFEPRIS and international standards like BRCGS require particle control. Non-compliance can result in closure, fines, and loss of certifications.

Operator Safety

Dust from flours, spices, and grains can cause occupational allergies, asthma, and explosions. NOM-010-STPS-2021 sets strict limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sí. Nuestros colectores para la industria alimentaria están diseñados para cumplir con los requisitos de BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard), FSSC 22000 e ISO 22000. Proporcionamos toda la documentación necesaria: planos, materiales, certifieds de calidad y procedimientos de validación.

We implement multiple barriers: sanitary 316L stainless steel surfaces with polished finish, physical separation systems between clean and contaminated air, HEPA filters in vents, and dead-zone-free design to prevent product accumulation. We also offer cleaning validation and material certifications.

In food applications, recovered dust (such as flour or sugar) can be reintegrated into the process if NOM-251 conditions are met. MCAT designs collection systems that enable this safe reuse, reducing waste. For non-reusable dust, we offer compacting and packaging systems for safe disposal.
