Audit and Upgrade Your Pneumatic Systems

Upgrading pneumatic systems is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways of meeting cGMP and FSMA guidelines. The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) said in a 2011 report(1), “A recall, particularly a ‘Class I,’ or health and safety recall, is usually a significant event for a food, beverage, or consumer products company. For companies that have faced a recall in the past five years, 77% of respondents estimated the financial impact to be up to $30 million dollars; 23% reported even higher costs.” The impact of tainted food on the overall economy is even larger. Forbes magazine reported(2) in 2016 that the annual expenses of medical treatment, lost productivity, and illness-related mortality from the 48 million Americans stricken by food-borne pathogens tops $55 billion.
