Hi all,
We currently store our mixed powdered blend into aluminum bins (1 tonne capacity).
Received some refurbished bins recently. Upon inspection, the inside of the bins appears to be oxidised, with small holes along them. Due to the size of the bins, finding it difficult to source a vendor who can anodise them. The main risk in using these bins have been identified as potential hand up points for powder build up. And since these bins do not have CIP in place and just gets washed from the top (hard to reach along the inside). We can also do swabs for the micro load. Are there any physical risks in exposing product to oxidised aluminum please? Feel a bit out of my depth here. Thank you!
