OPERATIONS Sanitary design applies to raw materials and packaging materials from production lines and equipment to the finished product. Purina meets sanitary design principles. Processors need to be well educated and self regulated. Look at all the equipment options, talk to the equipment manufacturers, ask about their design principles and most importantly know the characteristics of the product you want to produce and the plan to clean the equipment." Martinez concludes, "Sanitary equipment design plays a big role in the safety of both our products and people. It has a positive impact on the entire manufacturing environment. The investment of properly designed equipment makes processes easier, more reliable and more consistent, which can make operations more efficient - both in cost as well as time. Simplified cleaning procedures means less human interaction with the machines, which positively impacts safety, labor and equipment downtime."
