The completely hygienic weigher

MP-14-3800-1250-J awarded HDW and USDA certifications

MULTIPOND has developed a weigher that meets the most stringent hygiene requirements of the food industry. The MP-14-3800-1250-J is the world’s first weigher to have been certified by both Certified System Hygienic Design Weihenstephan (HDW) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Rating: Perfect hygienic design.

Standards are on the rise
Hygiene plays a key role in the food sector as well as with non-food products. The demanding requirements and strict regulations extend throughout the entire production chain and are affecting machine construction to an ever greater degree. MULTIPOND made the story its own long ago: When MULTIPOND introduced the J Generation, hygienic design became standard. The company is also an active member of EHEDG. The organization combines under one roof the expert knowledge of machinery and component manufacturers, foodstuff industry specialists, and also research institutes and health authorities. The sharing of knowledge with experts from various sectors generates important impetus for the targeted development of new solutions.

All requirements fulfilled
The independent experts from Hygienic Design Weihenstephan Consulting recently confirmed that all details of the MP-14-3800-1250-J meet the strict hygiene requirements in accordance with EN 1672-2 and the guidelines published by the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group), as well as the design requirements of Hygienic Design Weihenstephan (HDW) and that it has therefore been awarded the HDW certificate in accordance with Certified System 2017-CR 1.2. The American certificate from the USDA is valid for all MULTIPOND series of an identical design.

Every detail considered
The weigher is designed to meet hygienic design requirements and conforms to protection class IP69. All liquids can be drained and collected by a special “Drip, Drop and Drain system”. The associated collecting pan can be removed and cleaned without much effort. MULTIPOND has developed a hygienic channel coupling that operates without moving parts. The company has already filed a patent application for this innovative solution.

Good can only get better
The certification for the MP-14-3800-1250-J in compliance with the strict requirements of the Certified System Hygienic Design Weihenstephan and the U.S. Department of Agriculture underlines MULTIPOND’s unwavering quest to constantly improve its product range – to the benefit of those customers who have to keep pace with ever-increasing market requirements as they process their products.
