Precision grinding for maximum hygiene
Why SUHNER is the first choice in food & pharma
In food and pharmaceutical production, surface finish isn’t just about appearance – it’s about hygiene and compliance.
EN 1672-2 and EHEDG guidelines call for Ra values below 0.8 µm to ensure cleanability.
This study confirms: Surface roughness directly affects cleaning validation and API recovery in pharmaceutical environments.
Poor surface finishing increases the risk of residue retention and cleaning failures. View studies:
