Case: Palletising in Food Production
Hygiene, speed and constant format changes.
Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Washdown | Seals, stainless surfaces, food-grade lubricants |
| Speed | Match the packing line without buffer starvation |
| Formats | Change recipes by parameter, not re-teaching |
| Cleanability | No product traps, accessible for cleaning |
Lessons
- Cleaning chemicals must be compatible with seal materials.
- High-pressure jets aimed at seals shorten life — document the procedure.
- Format changeover time belongs in the acceptance criteria.
