technical training for MULTIVAC. " Since its
inception, MULTIVAC has been creative and
innovative with equipment design keeping
food safety a high priority. "
" Our industry's equipment suppliers are a
wealth of knowledge because collectively
they provide critical experience and historical
knowledge of potential problems and more
importantly the tools and information to
mitigate those problems, which can help
prevent costly issues in the future, " Galindo
says. " When there is a question or concern
with equipment or different aspects of
operations, the equipment manufacturer is
a valuable resource. They, most likely, will
provide a solution to the issue. "

systems will reject contaminated or
underweight packs.
" NAMI views the design principles as a way
to take a 'big picture' look at designing and
manufacturing equipment that allows for easy
cleaning and inspection, " Galindo says. " This
will help aid manufacturers in developing a
sound design. The principles provide a wealth
of information collected from equipment
manufacturers as well as processors. "
MULTIVAC has always looked to the principles
of sanitary design as a guideline to follow
when developing new machinery and
redesigning existing equipment. According
to the company, MULTIVAC machines are
designed to satisfy strict hygienic industry
requirements. By using sanitary design
principles and high-quality materials,
MULTIVAC ensures that its equipment is
conducive to safe and quick cleaning.
" MULTIVAC has always been at the forefront
of hygienic design. Our corporate mission is to
continuously push ourselves to build the best
state-of-the-art equipment, " says Christian
Uebele, director of product innovation and
Mike Hanneken, product market manager
for thermoforming at MULTIVAC, adds,
" MULTIVAC Hygienic DesignTM
includes things
like the machine frame, which is designed
to be very strong while also allowing for
easy cleanability. We also use stainless steel
materials approved for food contact with easily
cleanable surface finishes. "
" DESIGN OF EQUIPMENT
ACROSS THE INDUSTRY HAS
BEEN ON A TRAJECTORY OF
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
FOR A VERY LONG TIME,
AND EVEN THE MOST
COMPREHENSIVE EQUIPMENT
PRODUCED THESE DAYS
HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH
SANITATION AND
FOOD SAFETY IN MIND.. "
