CALL FOR EXPERTS! The EHEDG Packaging Machines Working Group has recently published Part 1 "General considerations for the hygienic design evaluation of packaging machines for solid foodstuffs (including powdered foodstuffs)" of EHEDG Doc. 29 Hygienic Design of Packaging Systems for Solid Foodstuffs. Part 1 aims to enhance communication between manufacturers and users during hygienic design risk assessments and can be utilized during machine sourcing or new machine development according to specified hygiene requirements. Doc. 29 is designed as a multipart guideline, and Part 1 will be complemented by additional parts (2-13) addressing machine-type-specific considerations for various packaging machines, such as thermoforming machinery, tray sealers, vertical and horizontal FFS machines, wrapping machines, and more. Consequently, the Packaging Machines Working Group have issued a “Call for Experts” to draft: Part 5: Flow-Wrappers (priority) Part 3: Tray-Sealers Part 12: Up- and downstream auxiliary equipment for integration in packaging lines – integration in open process areas only If you or a team member would like to join any of these Working Group sub-groups, please reach out to Peter Golz (Peter.Golz@vodafone.de), Chair of the Packaging Machines Working Group and Vanessa Amani (vanessa.amani@ehedg.org), the Portfolio Manager at EHEDG HO, or to office@ehedg.org.
