Videojet tackles tough processing environments

Videojet Technologies provides coding and marking equipment for food processing and packaging operations. Eric Davis, national account manager for Videojet, told FoodProductionDaily.com that such equipment needs to be designed to endure wet environments, fluctuating temperatures, chemical exposure and other factors, particularly in meat and poultry processing.

“They have sanitation shifts, where they have to do washdowns with water, chemicals, that sort of thing​,” he said. “It’s very important to have equipment that can hold up to that type of environment​.”

By designing equipment that can endure exposure to water and chemicals, Davis said, plant managers avoid having to remove the equipment prior to washdowns, then replace them. This helps save costs by cutting maintenance and downtime.

Also, Davis told FPD that the company’s marking and coding gear is designed to be flexible. This can be beneficial in helping operations prepare and adjust for regulatory requirements, such as the Food Safety Modernization Act.
