Optimal Food Contact Surface Solution for Removal of Dry Powder Products Without Introducing Moisture
Description
The future of Hygienic Design and food safety is very bright. Dry powder processing systems for handling products like dairy powder and infant formula face a critical challenge: establishing a "clean break" between production runs without wet cleaning. Our Student Hygienic Design Competition teams have worked to identify and develop surface treatments, coatings, or design modifications that allow complete product removal using only dry cleaning methods. Don't miss their winning solutions!
