A stainless steel conveyor can offer a number of benefits to an owner, including durability, flexibility and longevity. However, perhaps the most key benefit that a stainless steel conveyor can offer its proprietor is hygiene, we discuss further in this post.

The Importance of Hygiene

In the food processing industry, maintaining extremely high levels of hygiene is absolutely critical. Failure to maintain requisite levels of hygiene can result in issues occurring, such as food poisoning. This is a factor that can adversely affect the health of workers and consumers; while also having the ability to result in legal proceedings being brought against the culpable organisation.

Stainless Steel Conveyor – Naturally Hygienic Composition

Stainless steel is a material that has a naturally hygienic composition. It has a flat, solid, non porous surface, which is a quality that can help to minimise the absorption of bacteria from food products during the food processing process. In addition to having the potential to minimise the absorption of bacteria, the naturally hygienic composition of a stainless steel conveyor can help to reduce the resources required to maintain the cleanliness of equipment.

The Rigours of a Regular Cleaning Regime

In order to maintain the extremely high levels of hygiene required in the food processing industry, it can take a great deal of time, effort and other resources. Additionally, such a rigorous programme of cleaning can take its toll on equipment. This potentially adverse effect can mean increased upkeep is required to maintain the correct functioning of machinery, or even that machinery may require replacing with greater regularity than would ordinarily be expected.

Stainless steel, however, is a highly resistant material that is able to withstand such rigours. Moreover, the material is resistant against the industrial strength cleaning products often used in the food processing sector.
