About this listen

 Your mind is probably concerned with things like production efficiency, product quality and profit margins. Your thought go to contamination every now and then. Even to hygienic design. But have you ever thought about how the overhead spaces in your food facility impact hygiene?
It’s surprising, but up to 15% of food contamination can stem from these often-overlooked areas!

Join us in this episode of Behind Clean Lines as we speak with Steve Voelzke from Robroy Industries. Steve shares his insights on the vital link between electrical infrastructure and hygienic design in food factories. With us from Texas, he highlights how improved overhead planning can significantly reduce contamination risks.

In this episode, you'll learn about:
1. Why overhead installations are crucial in food factory design.
2. How modern construction designs enhance hygienic standards.
3. Case studies showing contamination from overhead conditions.
4. Practical design strategies for safer food production environments.
