Hygiene and Dosing Machine Performance: How Equipment Design Reduces Contamination Risks
In the food industry, hygiene is not an option: it is both a regulatory requirement and a strategic lever. Contamination can lead to product recalls, significant financial losses, and long-term damage to a brand’s reputation. To address these challenges, dosing equipment plays a central role. Its design directly impacts ease of cleaning, maintenance efficiency, and therefore food safety and overall production line performance.
At Celtech, we place these priorities at the heart of our approach. Our industrial dosing machines combine hygiene and productivity. Discover how a design tailored to the demanding environment of the food industry can significantly reduce contamination risks.
1. Materials Compliant With Sanitary Standards
Material selection is essential to ensure equipment hygiene and represents the first barrier against contamination.
Our dosing machines are manufactured using stainless steel and specialized polymers. These materials offer several key advantages:
- Corrosion resistance;
- Resistance to cleaning chemicals;
- Excellent resistance to temperature variations;
- Smooth surfaces that limit residue adhesion.
The result: a significant reduction in bacterial growth and cross-contamination risks.
2. A Design Free of Retention Areas
Retention areas are one of the main risk factors in the food industry. Residues can accumulate in these zones and become microbiological growth points.
To eliminate these risks, Celtech designs its equipment with:
- Sloped surfaces;
- Optimized, rounded angles;
- Continuous, watertight welds;
- Seals that are easy to remove for cleaning and replace when worn;
- Daily cleaning procedures and preventive maintenance protocols.
Our dosing technologies (lobe, piston, screw) are designed to eliminate inaccessible areas and ensure smooth product flow.
This approach enhances hygiene, simplifies maintenance, and reduces downtime.
3. Simplified Cleaning and CIP System
Frequent and effective cleaning is essential to maintain high hygiene standards. However, it must not slow down production.
That is why our equipment integrates:
- Quickly removable components;
- A modular design;
- CIP (Cleaning In Place) systems, when compatible with the dosed products (smooth products without particulates).
CIP enables circuit cleaning without full disassembly, which:
- Reduces intervention time;
- Minimizes human error;
- Standardizes cleaning procedures;
- Enhances operator safety.
Direct time savings for your teams… and increased productivity for your industrial site.
