Food & Beverage Manufacturing

Training Solutions for Machine Maintenance

Beyond simply improving uptime and keeping machines running, maintenance in a food and beverage manufacturing environment requires peak performance and a higher degree of regulation than most other manufacturing environments. Technicians must balance reliability with strict food safety and sanitation standards. They contend with the need to use food-grade lubricants, protective covers, and clean tools to avoid contamination or allergen cross-contact.

With all that to keep track of, it is imperative that technicians' skills in maintenance are excellent; with this added complexity, there isn't room for techs to not know how to find root cause analysis - and fast.

Unique Challenges in Food Manufacturing Environments

Industrial Maintenance Technicians can have an impact on more than just technical operations in food & beverage. When their skills fall behind, they could sicken consumers, cause QA challenges, and damage your reputation, through foreign materials or unsanitary conditions created by improper maintenance work.

Strict Sanitation Requirements

From contamination control, food-grade lubricants, and allergen cross-contact avoidance, maintenance workers must know more than the tools and tactics of their trades.

Wet Environments Create Hazards

Not your average industrial environment, the wet conditions can create additional electrical hazards, putting training in the driver's seat for facility safety.

Extreme Temperatures

Ammonia refrigeration technicians, especially, may work in dangerously cold environments.

Regulatory Pressure

This industry follows more regulatory bodies than other manufacturing niches, including FDA, USDA, and GFSI.
