Are the Time and Resources Taken to Clean your Fillers Eating Into your Production Schedule?
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Product changeovers between batches are a major food safety cross-contamination risk. The hygiene of fillers is critical to ensure that the quality of your finished product is not compromised. In order to maintain the high hygienic level required for this sensitive area in an efficient, effective and sustainable way, automatic cleaning and disinfecting systems are an indispensable requirement for all filling facilities.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Cleaning the fillers consumes the available production time and, though critical, impacts overall plant efficiency. Our experience shows that around 30% of the cost of filler cleaning is attributed to time and labor, but in practice, audited systems show a much higher percentage prior to optimization. We have found that under-optimized filler cleaning systems have the potential to return 15-50% of the cleaning-time to production - increasing your efficiency and reducing total costs.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
