With increasing concerns over food safety, bulk product protection during transportation is being more closely focused upon, particularly when product is discharged at the processing plant allowing replacement air to be drawn into the tanker and where product is collected from multiple origins such as is the case with milk collected from Dairy Farms.
The Foramaflow Tanker Vent, which was extensively used on road going milk tankers throughout foot and mouth infected areas, provides protection from airborne microbiological infections during filling and emptying cycles and road and depot operations eradicating the risk of product contamination and of spreading infection to atmosphere where a product might already be infected as in the case of foot and mouth disease.
The Foramaflow Tanker Vent has been independently tested by The Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down ( HPA CAMR ) The Food Science Laboratory at Aberdeen and is approved by DEFRA.
