The AVM7 Food+ is intended to be connected into a system that can operate an EC1935 compliant process. To minimise the risk of non-intentionally added substances in the system, it is essential that an appropriate CIP (cleaning in place) cycle is carried out by the end user prior to first use in a food contact application.
Customers and stockists are reminded that under EC Health, Safety and Environment Law, when returning products to Spirax Sarco they must provide information on any hazards and the precautions to be taken due to contamination residues or mechanical damage which may present a health, safety or environmental risk.
Manufactured in 316L stainless steel with minimal crevices, and a typical internal surface finish of 1.6 - 3.2 µm Ra the AVM7 operates close to steam temperature. Each trap is individually packaged within an 'ISO CLASS 7' clean environment with protective end caps and sealed in a protective plastic bag.
