About this listen

Are your production installations doing their job, or are they holding your production back?

It’s easy to overlook their impact, but production installations like electrical raceways play a key role in keeping your operations safe, clean, and efficient.

In this episode of ‘Behind Clean Lines’ we sit down with Steve Voelzke from Robroy Industries to tackle this often-missed priority in food production. Steve shares straightforward tips on getting your production and overhead installations right — whether you're planning a new facility or upgrading an existing one.

We’ll talk about practical solutions for avoiding contamination risks, cutting downtime, and designing for flexibility. Plus, Steve shares lessons from real-world projects that can help you prevent costly mistakes.

In this episode, you'll learn about:
• Practical improvements for overhead production installations.
• Strategies for achieving cleaner production environments.
• The impact of effective design on food safety compliance.
• Insights on overcoming challenges with retrofitting facilities.
• Importance of ongoing education in facility construction and operation.
• Enhancing collaboration across teams for better outcomes.
