ME FOOD SOLUTIONS: CONTINUOUS INNOVATION AND HYGIENE PHILOSOPHY

For over 25 years, ME Food Solutions has established itself as a leading company in the design and construction of systems for food processing. One of the key points of the entire company philosophy is the concept of continuous innovation.

This has allowed the company headed by Engineer Luca Priore to expand its operations worldwide, despite the enormous competitiveness of today’s increasingly global economic system.

Devising technological and innovative solutions has been part of ME Food Solutions’ DNA since the very beginning. A team of designers with great technical skills and many years of experience carries out constant research and development with the aim of finding new solutions to the ever-increasing needs of customers from all over the world who demand high-performance and safe systems.    

What distinguishes ME Food Solutions is certainly a continuous ferment of ideas that are constantly translated into innovative technological solutions and very often into patents. The study of advance materials, the use of evolved accessory components and highly customised technical realisations, even in detail, proceed in unison with the most advanced mechanical and IT technologies.

Moreover, ME Food Solutions‘ technicians check and intervene on the functional parameters of each machine even thousands of kilometres away.

The aptitude for continuous innovation goes perfectly with another keyword, a pillar of ME Food Solutions‘ corporate philosophy: Hygiene. This is a crucially important aspect resulting from the scrupulous attention paid to food quality, integrity and safety by control and certification agencies.

Every food processing (freezing, proving, cooling, transport, etc.) must be carried out in compliance with very strict regulations that require each plant to be designed respecting specific characteristics and using specific materials.

With this in mind, the solutions created by ME Food Solutions do not use any type of lubricant for mechanical components. In this way, food never meets chemicals that could irreparably compromise its quality and safety. 

Specifically, the conveyor belts are manufactured using a special techno-polymer. This is a material specially designed for the food industry, certified by the American FDA (Food and Drugs Administrations) and in line with the regulations issued by the European Union.

Other technical features that prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria are the external traction (“drumless”) of the spirals and the round shape of most of its components (columns, supports, spacers, belts, etc.).

In keeping with the philosophy of hygiene, ME Food Solutions has also developed an efficient conveyor belt washing and drying system consisting of one or more Karcher pumps and a dosing system that allows capillary distribution of the detergent before the actual washing. The same system is also used for the distribution of the sanitiser which represents the final phase of the entire sanitising process. This procedure allows food residues and contaminants to be removed from the conveyor belt. The entire machine is controlled by the operators by means of a modern human machine interface (HMI), which allows the washing and drying parameters to be set down to the smallest detail.

The washing and drying system ensures thorough hygiene of the conveyor belt. This allows the food to flow along the entire production line under optimal hygienic conditions. 

Continuous innovation and great attention to hygienic standards: these two aspects proceed in unison and constitute two fundamental points of the entire ME Food Solutions philosophy, determining the quality and safety of the plant built, the company’s success and the growing number of customers globally.
