Like so many things in life, the better food processing machinery works, the less most of us think about it. But if you’re somebody who eats, the lines that prep and package your food determine your day-to-day quality of life. A well-engineered system directly impacts your pocketbook, your health, and even your “footprint.” Here’s what I mean:
- Affordable groceries. A system that can quickly process high volumes of produce keeps food costs down.
- Safe food. A system engineered to stay clean prevents food-borne illness.
- Less waste. A system that’s adaptable can respond to trends and innovation, for example, demands for greener packaging.
Fritsch says food machinery is a fast-moving industry with a lot of spikes in demand. The company uses Creo’s direct modeling tools from PTC in part because temporary design help can catch on quickly, without compromising quality or deadlines.
This episode of the Product Design Show features Fritsch and the engineering behind the machinery. Allison and Vince talk about legislation, hygiene concerns, and market forces shaping food processing lines. Plus, they describe how engineers unlock productivity by relying on libraries of parts and assemblies to respond to industry demands. Now if only they’d tell me where to get some of those industrial donuts….
