Custom sluice system from zone 0 to zone 2 at Fipros

At Fipros Nutrition, the production of sensitive powder products places exceptionally high demands on hygiene and control. To ensure a stable and documented level of hygiene, the production line is designed with a comprehensive access system based on hygiene sluices.

High hygiene requirements in production

In powder production, even small amounts of contamination can be critical. Therefore, it is essential to control all transitions between zones – for both personnel and materials.

At Fipros Nutrition, the objective was to establish a solution that:

  • Ensures controlled transitions from zone 0 to zone 2
  • Minimizes the risk of particle and bacterial transfer
  • Integrates seamlessly into workflows and logistics
  • Handles personnel, small items, and larger goods

An integrated sluice system with UVC and air treatment

The solution was a complete, custom-designed access system based on multiple types of sluices. All zone transitions take place through sluices, where both personnel and goods are treated before entering production areas.

 

Hygiene sluices for personnel (CleanAccess-C Air)
Personnel pass through sluices where airflow velocities of up to 20 m/s effectively remove particles from clothing. The air is filtered through integrated HEPA systems, ensuring a high level of cleanliness.

At the same time, personal items such as mobile phones are disinfected in an integrated CleanBox.

Hygiene sluice for goods (CleanBox-C)
Smaller items are treated with UVC light, which disinfects surfaces without contact.

Hygiene sluice for cargo (CleanAccess-C Cargo)
Raw materials and auxiliary products are introduced through a cargo sluice, where:

  • Air removes loose particles
  • UVC light treats all surfaces

This ensures that materials can be safely brought into production without compromising hygiene.

Tailored to production

All units are customized to meet the specific needs of Fipros Nutrition and are fully integrated into the production flow.

“At our production facility in Ebberup on Funen, we operate with very high hygiene requirements, maintained through a comprehensive access system, including controlled entry of personnel and goods. During the design phase, NATDIS provided valuable support and expertise in identifying the right solutions. This has resulted in a state-of-the-art access system that helps ensure our hygiene standards and, ultimately, the quality of our products.”
