Design for the food industry

Food industry

We have many years of experience in designing solutions for the food industry. The choice of materials and the geometry of the design is essential along with food construction.

Hygiene design

No sharp inner edges and corners. Correct slopes that ensure that the medium can drain. Correct design at spray areas. Correct welds. Contact area requirements. No dead volumes in the flow medium.

Cleanable design

Solutions where the parts can be cleaned without being separated. Sprayball cleaning that can reach out to the entire zone and the correct design at the possibly blind areas.

Serviceability

There are higher requirements for service operations as it e.g. is unacceptable that screws may end up in the medium. Lubricants must not come into contact with the medium. Click solutions and separation of larger components from one side.

Food design areas

  • Food refrigeration technology
  • Conveyor systems
  • Packing machines
  • Pick & Place solutions
  • Freezers
  • Volumetric fillers
  • Mechanical gaskets

Compliance of design standards

In the design phase, it is monitored that the automation and process equipment meets the standards in the area:
  • EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group)
  • 3-A
  • CIP (Clean In Place)
