Aiming at the special needs of food workshops, the following focuses on the food workshop laboratory benches.
I. Industry Particularities of Food Workshop Laboratory Benches
In the food production process, as the core facility for carrying out raw material testing, finished product analysis, and process research and development, the laboratory bench in the food workshop needs to meet strict standards such as the National Food Safety Standard - General Hygienic Code for Food Production (GB 14881). It not only needs to bear various testing instruments and reagents but also must have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and prevention of cross-contamination to ensure the accuracy of testing data and guarantee food safety.
II. Core Advantages of Cleanroom's Food Workshop Laboratory Benches
(1) Professional Material Configuration
Component | Material Selection | Characteristic Advantages |
Main Frame | 40601.8mm food-grade 304 stainless steel square tube | After pickling, phosphating, and uniform gray-white epoxy spraying, it is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, has strong load-bearing performance, and a long service life. |
Worktop | 16mm epoxy resin worktop / stainless steel worktop | Epoxy resin worktop: Good corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and high-temperature resistance, capable of withstanding the erosion of various chemical reagents. Stainless steel worktop: Food-grade material, easy to clean, suitable for scenarios such as microbial detection. |
Cabinet | E1-grade 16mm thick environmental protection melamine board | All sections are treated with high-quality PVC edge sealing and waterproofing, with a stable structure, good load-bearing capacity, and easy disassembly and relocation. |
(2) Targeted Functional Design
1. Hygiene and Safety Design
· Round Corner Treatment: The corners of the cabinet are designed with round corners, seamless, easy to clean, eliminating sanitary dead corners and preventing bacterial growth.
· Antibacterial Coating: The worktop and cabinet surface can be treated with an antibacterial coating, with a bacteriostatic rate of ≥99%, meeting the hygiene requirements of the food industry.
· Waterproof Design: The edge of the worktop is provided with a waterproof edge to prevent liquid leakage from damaging the cabinet and ensure the service life of the bench.
2. Practical Fittings Configuration
· Self-closing Stainless Steel Damping Hinges: When the horizontal angle between the cabinet door and the cabinet surface is less than 15 degrees, the cabinet door closes automatically. It has good elasticity, no noise, and is durable.
· Three-section Guide Rail: The surface is treated with black epoxy resin electrostatic spraying or galvanizing, which is corrosion-resistant, smooth in pulling, and convenient for storing experimental instruments.
· Food-grade Universal Adjusting Feet: Special injection-molded adjustable feet, with the characteristics of load-bearing, moisture-proof, anti-slip, antibacterial, and corrosion-resistant. They can adjust the height of the cabinet according to the ground conditions to ensure stability.
· Explosion-proof Power Socket: Equipped with explosion-proof power sockets that meet the safety requirements of food workshops, 22V 16A universal two and three-plug sockets, with strong compatibility, safety, and durability.
III. Scientific Layout Planning of Food Workshop Laboratory Benches
(1) Layout Design Principles
According to the food testing process of "sample reception - pretreatment - testing - result analysis", reasonably plan the functional areas to ensure smooth flow of people and logistics and avoid cross-contamination. At the same time, consider the laboratory area, the number of equipment, and the number of operators to optimize space utilization.
(2) Typical Layout Schemes
Laboratory Area | Type of Bench | Functional Zones | Application Scenarios |
About 50㎡ | Wall-mounted Bench + Central Test Bench | Sample Reception Area, Physicochemical Pretreatment Area, Microbial Detection Area | Laboratories of small and medium-sized food enterprises |
100㎡ and above | Island-type Bench + Peripheral Wall-mounted Bench | Raw Material Detection Area, Finished Product Detection Area, Reagent Storage Area, High-temperature Operation Area | Laboratories of large food enterprises or third-party testing institutions |
(3) Key Dimension References
· Worktop Height: The standard seated worktop height is 76-82cm, and the standing worktop height is 88.9-94cm, which conforms to ergonomics and is convenient for operators to work comfortably.
· Aisle Width: The main aisle width between test benches is not less than 1.5m to ensure smooth passage of personnel and equipment.
· Wall Cabinet Setting: The wall cabinet is 60cm away from the worktop, the bottom is 142cm from the ground, and the projection on the worktop does not exceed 30cm, making rational use of space without affecting operations.
IV. Application Cases of Food Workshop Laboratory Benches
(1) Case of a Bakery Food Enterprise Laboratory
Project Background: A well-known bakery enterprise upgraded its original laboratory to improve product quality control, focusing on strengthening the detection capabilities of microbial and nutritional components in raw materials.
Cleanroom's Solution:
· Adopted an island-type central test bench combined with a wall-mounted bench layout. The central test bench selected an epoxy resin worktop for physicochemical testing and sample pretreatment; the wall-mounted bench used a stainless steel worktop to set up a microbial detection area.
· Configured special reagent racks, eye washers, fume hoods, and other accessories to meet the needs of different testing projects.
· Aiming at the characteristics of bakery raw materials, the bench design was particularly strengthened in oil resistance and easy cleaning functions.
Implementation Effect:
· The testing process became more standardized, and testing efficiency increased by more than 30%.
· The colony contamination rate in the microbial detection area was significantly reduced, and the accuracy of test results was effectively guaranteed.
· Successfully passed relevant food safety certifications, providing strong support for the enterprise's product quality improvement.
(2) Case of a Dairy Enterprise Laboratory
Project Requirement: Dairy enterprises have extremely high hygiene requirements for laboratory benches, needing to effectively prevent cross-contamination and meet the needs of cold chain detection at the same time.
Cleanroom's Solution:
· The worktop was all made of food-grade stainless steel, and the surface was treated with a special process, which was antibacterial and easy to clean.
· Designed an independent cold chain sample processing area, equipped with special low-temperature storage cabinets and operating tables.
· The overall structure of the bench adopted a modular design, which was convenient for expanding functions according to testing projects in the later stage.
Customer Feedback:
· The hygiene performance and durability of the bench were highly recognized, meeting the high hygiene standards required by dairy products.
· The reasonable layout design made the cold chain detection process more efficient, providing a reliable guarantee for product quality control.
