From multi-million dollar brand-name companies to “mom and pop” bakeries, every sector of the food industry faces a common enemy, contamination. While salmonella and e-coli are well-known threats, so are allergens like peanut dust that if mixed with the wrong batch can cost a company millions in product recalls, lost customers, lawsuits, and fines. And if FDA regulations weren’t enough, facilities processing materials like flour and sugar now have to worry they are in compliance with OSHA recommendations for combustible dust.
Elevate your plant and product to the next level of safety and hygiene by joining us for an interactive discussion that will focus on the specific maintenance challenges food manufacturers and processors face. Learn about best engineering practices and how a comprehensive maintenance plan that includes properly-equipped industrial vacuum cleaners can eliminate cross-contamination, control allergens, and prevent product recalls.
