Abstract

Hygienic design is a necessary topic in developing food processing machinery. Designers have access to plenty of guidelines that support embodiment design and detailing of certain equipment. Earlier phases receive little attention in terms of Hygienic Design. Furthermore, developing products that are not covered by any guideline is a laborious challenge. This paper presents an extended approach of Hygienic Design in order to consider earlier product developing phases. Analysing use phase processes and the investigation with regard to their categorization lead to formalised Hygienic Design requirements. Allocating over 70 existing guidelines to fundamental damage processes "adhesion", "accumulation", "intrusion" and "abrasion" offers a new systematic scheme of a guidelines categorisation, which provides an extended understanding of Hygienic Design. In order to illustrate benefits of using Hygienic requirements in early phases, influencing possibilities are illustrated by an example.
