How security seals work for dairy producers, to ensure the safety transport for milk tankers?
1.After a milk tanker is unloaded and washed, the wash station/plant will use security seals to seal all potential points of access to the interior of the milk tank with an appropriate security sealing device such as a plastic seal or cable seal. Each seal should have an identification
number for traceability purposes.
Access points that require security sealing include inlet/outlet valves, manhole cover, vent tube, CIP connections, and any other point at which one could access the inside of the milk tank.
2.After washing of the milk tanker and installation of security seals, each seal tag is inspected and its number is recorded by inspector.
3. Security seals should be printed with unique identifiers (company logo, plant I.D. number, etc.).
4.at any time the driver finds that a security seal has been broken without his knowledge or that a safety seal is missing, he should immediately notify the producers or cooperative.
5.Any time the milk tanker is not under direct supervision of the driver, all openings on the milk tanker are secured with a seal or lock.
6. When the milk tanker arrives at the receiving plant, authorized receiving personnel compares the numbers on all security seals to the numbers in the seal record.
It is recommended that the receiving plant maintain a seal verification log.
If the seal numbers match, the milk is unloaded.
If any security seals do not correspond record, or if any seal is inexplicably
broken, the receiving plant does not unload the milk until a further investigation reveals.
