Hygienic Design in Filling Systems
GREIF-VELOX Reduces Contamination Risks and Enhances Food Safety
(PresseBox) - Hygienic design is a critical success factor for safe and efficient production processes in the food industry. GREIF-VELOX implements a rigorous hygienic machine concept to reduce contamination risks and increase efficiency, following internationally recognized guidelines such as EHEDG, GMP, and 3-A.
The company’s hygienic machine concept is based on essential structural features such as closed, smooth surfaces without dead spaces, fully drainable systems, and hygienically optimized weld seams. Rounded transitions and optional heated components help prevent product residues, reduce the risk of microbial growth, and ensure complete system drainage.
Regulatory Compliance and Risk-Based Validation
All GREIF-VELOX food-grade systems use product-contacting materials that comply with EU Regulation 1935/2004 and, optionally, with relevant FDA standards. Design implementation incorporates a HACCP-based validation process to identify and eliminate potential contamination risks at the earliest design stage.
Technical Solutions for Critical Hygiene Points
This approach is exemplified in the Brutto Pneumatic Packer (BVP) from GREIF-VELOX: an integrated suction system reduces dust emissions and cross-contamination risks, while the patented “Waffle Welding” ultrasonic sealing method with dual sealing lines significantly improves packaging integrity. The ValvoDetect system automatically verifies valve positioning, contributing to final packaging safety.
Integrated wet-cleaning systems enable documented cleaning processes - an essential feature for allergen-sensitive applications and GMP-compliant workflows. Tool-free component access also enhances system inspection and maintenance.
Tangible Advantages for Food Manufacturers
Strict implementation of hygienic design principles offers food producers measurable benefits:
Reduced cleaning times and less downtime
Lower total cost of ownership due to minimized quality-related costs
Improved traceability through digital documentation
Increased food safety by preventing contamination
Dust-free and transport-secure packaging
Flexible adaptation to sector-specific requirements
Thanks to modular configuration options, GREIF-VELOX systems can be customized for a wide range of food applications - from milk powder and starch to cocoa and protein. This ensures hygienic design can be implemented effectively across different production environments.
