Overview

The key features of the USDA curtains for wash down applications are as follows.

The materials are specifically designed to be “slick” which will shed solutions and soils unlike porous materials. In addition, there is no stitching which is used for the hems. A stitched hem can allow debris to get under the fold and then in turn bacteria can grow.

The curtains are shown in the pictures as straight runs but have the ability for 90 degree radius corners. This allows the USDA curtain to be moved seamlessly from one side to the other around the track bend.

CFIA Approval

In addition to meeting USDA standards, the curtains also meet Canadian Food Inspection Agency or CFIA approval. The CFIA is much like the USDA in the United States. Their purpose is to ensure the health and safety of food and food production. Our curtain material has been sent to the CFIA for a full review and it now has their seal of approval.

Food Processing Curtains

Using curtains for food processing in a wash down setting requires careful attention to layout and function. Akon has a lot of experience in utilizing these food grade curtains to their fullest extent. We know that any sanitation curtains that are properly installed will increase your efficiency and decrease your down-time.
