Hygiene matters

Hygiene and efficient cleaning processes are essential in ensuring food safety. Surfaces and equipment must be easy to clean, and waste water from cleaning processes must be disposed of quickly through efficient drainage. 

Drainage layout – do it right 

The drainage system is an integral part of the factory, and with most components placed in or below the flooring, subsequent changes to the layout can be costly.

The best investment is an efficiently designed drainage system as to flow capacity, self-cleaning, production downtime for cleaning, product life time, amount of space taken up and installation time. Also to be considered are requirements to cleaning, which may influence layout and capacity of the system and its components.

Hygienic design of machinery and facilities is important for the safety of food products. Also, hygienically designed equipment is easier to clean and require less frequent cleaning, meaning lower costs for cleaning agents, water consumption, production stops for cleaning, etc.

In addition, significant reductions in water use have been effective at delivering major cost savings on processing and cleaning water – reducing operating costs and benefiting the environment.
