Automation has changed the face of the food processor. You often read of family food businesses that started off with a few employees doing everything manually, that over the years has grown and increased production – and all this has been possible due mainly to the progress in automation.
Automation has allowed food processors to produce awesome foods – but with all progression, there are always risks. As much as the automated equipment is designed with food safety in mind, there is always going to be the need to implement contamination risk mitigation.
One of these scenarios is the conveyor belt. As much as a disinfection program is put into place, if a piece of contaminated food lands on a conveyor belt, unless it is disinfected virtually immediately, the next piece of food landing on that spot will pick up contamination – and carry it through the rest of the production process.
Savour Solutions has a natural technology and process that will sort out this problem. Trials on our latest offering have shown that the total bacterial count tested on a conveyor belt on consecutive rotations had less than 10 bacteria on each rotation – whereas the control showed counts in the thousands for each rotation!
