Oct 6, 2025

Reading time: minutes

When it comes to the food and pharmaceutical industries, cleanliness and safety aren’t just nice-to-have — they’re absolutely essential. Every piece of equipment needs to be designed with hygiene, durability, and compliance in mind. That’s where Elesa’s Hygienic Design (HD) product line shines. Built to meet FDA and EHEDG standards, these components make it easier for manufacturers to keep operations running smoothly, safely, and contamination-free.

Why Hygienic Design Makes a Difference

In environments with harsh cleaning cycles, high-temperature sterilization, and constant adjustments, parts have to do more than just work-they have to withstand the pressure.

 Elesa’s Hygienic Design range is designed to:

  • Use stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance.
     
  • Feature smooth, cavity-free surfaces that prevent dirt and bacteria from hiding.
     
  • Incorporate FDA-approved seals and materials safe for sensitive environments.
     
  • Fully comply with EHEDG and FDA guidelines, supporting hygienic machine design and cleanroom standards.
