💡🍺 Solution to Brewery Hose Challenge ERIKS recently addressed a critical challenge in the brewing industry related to hose functionality. Our customer faced issues with hoses kinking at sharp 90° angles after the coupling, which increased the risk of damage and contamination. Additionally, the use of clamp shells was raising concerns about potential bacterial growth. To tackle this, we recommended beer hoses equipped with pressed couplings, specifically designed to eliminate kinking and improve hygiene at connection points. An added feature was the anti-kink spiral, which also significantly extended the lifespan of the hoses, particularly at vertical connection points. Outcomes: 🔷 The implementation of our recommended hoses led to an improvement in production uptime. 🔷 There was a noticeable reduction in the need for maintenance and hose replacements. 🔷 The durability of the new hose design contributed to lower total costs over time. 🔷 The high-quality hose assembly diminished the risk of contamination.

For Olam Cocoa, one of the world's largest cocoa bean processors, producing food safely is a top priority. Cocoa production involves multiple hazards, including allergen risks, foreign material contamination in bean supplies, and chemical contaminants. 💡ERIKS simplified things by providing all the gaskets this cocoa company needed in one standardised package. We also recommended the right valves for handling cocoa mass and cocoa butter - all meeting EC1935/2004 food safety standards. This helped reduce safety risks throughout their production.

Choosing the right safety shoes can help prevent injuries, reduce fatigue, and improve productivity. But every work environment comes with its challenges: slippery surfaces, heavy objects, and long hours on hard floors. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to safety footwear. Need a simple guide to help you choose the best option? We break down what to consider when selecting safety shoes that truly match your team’s needs, from risk assessments and comfort to certifications and long-term durability. 👉 Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/gVykSAek #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyShoes #PPE #InjuryPrevention #ERIKS #HealthAndSafety #SafetyFirst

Food-grade vs. Food-safe In the food industry, compliance is critical, but are food-grade materials alone enough to ensure food safety? The reality is that even with certified materials, risks can still arise if process control, documentation, and post-processing checks aren’t in place. We see common challenges across the industry ⚠️ Relying on supplier certificates without verifying post-processing risks ⚠️ A recall puts food safety in the spotlight — until the urgency fades ⚠️ Teams struggle to navigate EC1935/2004, GMP requirements, and traceability How confident are you in your food safety measures? Read our article to explore the risks, solutions, and best practices: https://lnkd.in/dJEUbFe3 What’s the biggest challenge you face in food safety? Drop your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️

It might seem counterintuitive to spend ten times more on a single component, but this approach can lead to significant savings in the long run. One processor faced a persistent issue with leaking cocoa press O-rings, requiring corrective maintenance four times a week. This meant up to €625,000 annually in costs, including product price, labour, and production downtime. The turning point?⤴️ Opting for a high-end O-ring that, although priced higher than its predecessor, showed superior thermal and chemical resistance. In the end, maintenance frequency fell to once a month, cutting annual maintenance costs to under €38,000, and saving the company over €587,000 a year. For this business, investing in quality and durability = long-term savings and operational efficiency.

“DfSS inspires engineers to back their designs with data, ensuring solutions are repeatable, reliable, and robust." – Job van de Sande, Head of Engineering at ERIKS One of the keys to our success is the integration of Design for Six Sigma (DfSS) into our development process. What does this mean for you as a customer? Accelerated development cycles: The use of iterative testing and simulations within DfSS reduces the need for time-consuming redesigns. This enables us to deliver faster, allowing our customers to benefit from shorter time-to-market and more efficient processes. Data-driven innovation: DfSS allows us to underpin our designs with robust statistical analyses. This ensures that solutions not only feel like the right choice but are proven to be the best. We embrace DfSS as our design methodology of choice. This approach improves collaboration within and beyond our teams and ensures that customers are confident in our methods and consistent quality.
