Most food manufactures have documented procedures for controlling productions environments and for handling all inbound & outbound goods.
But what about the microorganisms that enter with the ingredients, packaging, maintenance equipment, tools, work phones, etc.?
Every day materials move between areas with different hygiene levels and from suppliers outside the factory. The challenge is maintaining production flow, while ensuring the production from unwanted microorganisms. With goods moving between production areas there is a risk of cross contamination and bringing unwanted microorganisms into sensitive productions. Unwanted microorganisms can close a whole production or result in recall of an entire batch.
Manual disinfection is used but can leave areas for unwanted microorganisms to grow and enter production. With an automated disinfection barrier, such as a UVC Sluice, between areas and for inbound goods it is possible to secure the production from unwanted microorganisms.
The UVC sluice is designed to:
- Disinfect all inbound goods in a short period of time.
- Prevent goods moving between areas without disinfection with interlocked doors.
- Minimize chemical use and no chemical residue on the goods to be transferred to the end product.
- Securing the production against cross contamination through an automated, documented and efficient solution built for the problem.
How does your production ensure the inbound goods and products moving between different areas?
