Machine Safety in the Packaging Industry – The Fatal Consequences! 

A lack of machine safety in the packaging industry can have fatal consequences. In particular, when combined with hygiene deficiencies, it can lead to product contamination, production downtime, and significant liability risks. This not only results in substantial financial losses but also jeopardizes customer trust and damages a company's reputation. Contaminants caused by poorly cleaned machines or unsafe materials can compromise product quality and pose serious health risks to end consumers. This is especially critical in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, where contamination can have severe health consequences. Balancing efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness remains a constant challenge, especially given strict regulatory requirements and increasing demands for high product quality.

 

An Overview of the Risks in the Packaging Industry

Product Contamination: Inadequate cleaning and maintenance of machines can lead to contamination, rendering the final product unusable and posing serious health risks to consumers.

• Machine Failures: Improper safety measures and inadequate maintenance can lead to machine downtime and production disruptions, resulting in high costs and supply chain interruptions
• Workplace Accidents: Missing or insufficient safety guards on machines increase the risk of workplace accidents, which can result in injuries or even fatalities.
• Legal and Liability Risks: Violations of safety and hygiene standards can lead to legal action against companies, resulting in hefty fines and damage to their reputation.
• Quality Defects: Inadequate machine safety and hygiene can compromise the quality of packaged products, leading to complaints, recalls, and long-term customer losses.

Benefits of IP69/69k and Ecolab-Certified Products 

Products certified to IP69/69k and Ecolab offer numerous benefits for the packaging industry. The IP69/69k certification ensures that devices are dustproof and protected against high-pressure cleaning, making them highly durable and suitable for environments with strict hygiene and maintenance requirements.
This is especially important in areas where regular intensive cleaning processes are required to meet the highest hygiene standards. Ecolab certifications further ensure that the materials and surfaces of the products are safe for food contact and easy to clean.

Intelligently and safely monitor doors with the Safix

Contactless RFID sensors are used to monitor doors that can be opened at any time. However, this requires the system to stop quickly or maintain the necessary safety distance. Short risk times and a flexible wiring concept are therefore among the most important requirements. The flat actuator – discreet and flexible. A flat actuator saves space, enhances safety, allows for flexible mounting, is more resistant to shocks and vibrations, and offers ergonomic benefits.

 

Long-term cost savings through improved machine safety 

Investing in specialized, certified products pays off in the long run. Improved machine safety reduces accidents and production downtime, leading to significant cost savings. Additionally, the high durability and reliability of these products help lower maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of the machines. In the long term, companies benefit from higher operational efficiency and increased profitability.
