Achieving Hygienic excellence by design - A Habasit case

At the EHEDG World congress 2024 Enrico and Wesley will highlight the critical role of hygienic design to achieve the hygienic excellence.

Hygienic excellence within the food processing industry refers to the highest standard of cleanliness and sanitation, which is essential for maintaining the consumers health and preventing disease.

This concept is not only about being free of dirt and bacteria but, also includes the design of facilities, equipment, and components to ensure they can be easily, efficiently, and effectively cleaned.

Hygienic excellence is a comprehensive approach that combines proper design, maintenance, and cleaning protocols to achieve an environment that supports health and cleanliness at the highest level.

By means of a case study, the Habasit team will provide insights into various aspects of a successful, hygienic design driven, new product development of a critical industrial component.

The exercise will highlight how the hygienic design can contribute to increase food safety and sanitation protocols’ efficiency, by reducing resource utilization such as labor, water, detergents, and water sewage treatments.

The presentation will also show the validation methodologies that Habasit, in collaboration with Fraunhofer IVV put in place to measure the achieved hygienic performance.
