Almost everything is packaged Diverse functions of packaging Programmed growth High speed, high availability, interlinked machinery The packaging industry is a key sector not only for industrial production, but also for all aspects of everyday life in the industrialised world. Almost every product purchased by a private consumer is packaged, from medicines to everyday food products to tools and furniture. The design and function of the packaging are just as diverse as the packaging materials themselves. The purpose of packaging is not only to provide protection whilst in transit and...

Machine safety in hygiene sensitive areas Basis: Four hygiene areas Demanding requirement profile Cleanliness and safety: This neatly sums up the requirements of protective equipment used on food processing machinery. Safety requirements defined by legislation and standards ("Machinery Directive") apply to all areas of machine construction. Add to this the requirements of cleanliness or hygiene, and the standard machine safety solutions effectively used elsewhere can only be used partly or not at all. For this reason, the food industry was the first to use active optoelectronic safety...
