Flashback Series Food Processing

 

 

Continuing Paramount’s Flashback Series, where we’ll be exploring challenging applications, high performance luminaires, and various success stories related to our 75 plus years as an innovator in the lighting industry! This week, we showcase Food Processing and Handling applications… circa 1960. We hope you will learn and discover more about the variety and diverse areas Paramount has successfully illuminated. 

Paramount offers a wide variety of Food Processing luminaires that meet or exceed the most stringent National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requirements. Paramount’s NSF Certified models make it easy to maintain sanitary conditions. All seams are sealed, preventing the growth of bacteria. Paramount offers models for Food Zones, Splash Zones and Non-Food Zones.

 

NSF International has categories established for sanitation requirements of equipment and/or devices used in storing, preparing or handling of food or beverages (Food is defined by NSF as any substance intended for human consumption).

These categories are:

• Food Zone
Surfaces in which food normally has direct contact, and surfaces from which food may drain, drip or splash back onto surfaces normally in contact with food, which will be consumed. Equipment certified for Food Zone use must have all exposed surfaces made of stainless steel. The premium quality of these products is prerequisite for maximum health protection of consumers. (Use PMF prefix for Paramount Food Zone luminaires)

• Heated Food Zone
Similar to the Food Zone, but warmer.

• Splash Zone
Surfaces outside the Food Zone subject to routine splash, spillage or other soiling with normal use. Luminaires in this zone do not have direct contact with food. In other words, material that contacts these lights will be discarded–it will not be eaten by people. (Use PMS prefix)

• Non-Food Zone
All exposed surfaces other than Food or Splash Zone. (Paramount recommends servicing this standard with the more stringent Splash Zone, please use PMS prefix)
