Designing food industry laboratories

Designing food industry laboratories

Laboratories occupy a special place in the food industry, allowing not only laboratory support of the production process, but also control of incoming raw materials and products. Thus, the quality and safety of products directly depends on the food laboratory. That is why the design of food industry laboratories is a complex task that requires professional knowledge and experience.

Design features of food laboratories

For the competent design of food laboratories, specialists need both knowledge and experience in design, as well as an understanding of the specifics of food laboratories, and even knowledge of the norms for such objects.

Among the main features of food laboratories are the following:

• Safety and hygiene standards. Increased requirements are placed on laboratories of the food industry. When designing, it is important to take care of creating the right conditions. This concerns the correct organization of engineering communications, ventilation and air purification. It is important that the facility is designed in accordance with all standards for food handling facilities.
• Availability of special equipment. Specialized equipment is used in food laboratories, the placement of which is important to take care of at the design stage. Types of devices are determined at the design stage in order to allocate enough space for the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
• Zoning. The food laboratory is a complex facility. The premises are divided into different zones, which may have different levels of cleanliness and other specific conditions. Individual areas are often designed to be more protected to avoid microbial contamination of food products or cross-contamination.
• Ergonomics. p align=”justify”> When designing a food laboratory, it is important to optimize the space in such a way as to provide comfortable working conditions for employees. As a result, this will increase operational efficiency and analytical accuracy.
• Use of modern technologies and software. When designing, it is important to take into account that modern food laboratories use innovative technologies that allow automating the processes of data collection, analysis, etc.

In addition, when designing, it is important to plan the structure of the laboratory taking into account the possibility of future expansion or reorganization. The food industry laboratory project must be scalable.

Only a qualified specialist can develop project documentation in accordance with all the rules and taking into account all the specific features of food laboratories.
