Hygienic Design – Practical Applications

There’s a first time for everything | In breweries, quite often one hears statements like “Why do we need hygienic design? We clean everything all the time anyway. Hygienic design is the same as aseptic operations and we don’t need that.” In practice, this can have disastrous consequences. Hygienic design means that all surfaces that come into contact with the product and all external surfaces must be so fabricated that neither contamination nor soiling can readily endure on them. Every surface must also be able to be cleaned easily.
