Food

The food industry is responsible for producing and packaging a wide variety of food products, including processed foods, bakery items, meats, dairy products, and more. Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the manufacturing process is essential to ensure food safety and prevent contamination. Sanitary parts and practices play a critical role in achieving these standards. Ford Jones Sanitary distributes sanitary parts that maintain high standards of hygiene and safety. 

Our Products

Our network of fluid handling manufactures develop and manufacture high-quality sanitary fluid-handling equipment, parts, and services at an expectational value.

  • Stainless Steel Equipment

    Stainless steel is a preferred material for sanitary parts and equipment in the food industry due to its corrosion resistance, non-toxic nature, and ease of cleaning. Tanks, pipes, valves, fittings, and other components used in the manufacturing process are often made of stainless steel to ensure long-lasting durability and cleanliness.

  • Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) Systems

    CIP and SIP systems are essential in the food industry to clean and sanitize equipment without the need for disassembly. These systems circulate cleaning and sanitizing solutions through the equipment, ensuring that all surfaces come into contact with the cleaning agents. Sanitary parts used in CIP and SIP systems, such as spray balls, nozzles, and fittings, are designed to be easily cleaned and inspected, further ensuring the cleanliness of the entire system.
