DUST & FUME EXTRACTION
FILTER BAGS PROVIDES CUSTOMERS WITH CLARITY ON COMPLIANCE WITH EU FOOD-GRADE
REQUIREMENTS With many European food manufacturers confused by the labelling of bags for dust collectors as ‘Food Grade approved’, the newly enhanced Dalamatic series of filter bags provides unequivocal reassurance that all three relevant EU food safety regulations are met.
M
anufacturers in the food and
pharmaceutical industries can be assured of full conformity with three crucial EU regulations
following the launch of a new generation of Donaldson’s Dalamatic food-grade compliant filter bags.
By guaranteeing compliance with the necessary Regulation EC 1935/2004,
Regulation EU 10/2011 and Regulation EU 2023/2006, Donaldson is providing an upfront confirmation that all materials used in its Dalamatic filter bags are suitable for use in all appropriate processes involving direct and indirect food-contact applications. The bags will be of particular interest to facilities handling foodstuffs including corn, flour, spices, cereals and sugar, as well as milk, fruit and coffee powders, etc. “Many companies can be frustratingly vague about which declaration of compliance their filtering bag provides, so
end-customers often can’t tell from the information they provide whether they are 100% EU food grade compliant or not,” explains Darek Kotowski, engineer II, IAF AM, Donaldson Europe. “By demonstrating that we have in-depth knowledge of the regulations, while providing all required information and a declaration of compliance with each bag, we ensure our end-customers have peace of mind.”
A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH Produced at Donaldson’s Klasterec plant in the Czech Republic, the Food-Grade Compliant Dalamatic bags are manufactured using individually certified compliant cuffs, main media and thread. They are available in three media types to suit different conditions and in filter surface areas ranging from 0.7m2
to 2m2 .
Six sizes of Tetratex Contact filter bags are being offered, using a strong, premium ePTFE membrane media that is well-suited to handle the diverse range of temperatures and chemical conditions commonly encountered in food or pharmaceutical
