Seafood salad processor automates equipment washing process
Buggies and bins are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to keep contaminants such as Listeria out of food processing plants.
Founded in 2001, GoldCoast Salads is a highly successful family-owned business that produces premium products including genuine Maine lobster, blue crabs and smoked salmon, lobster and shrimp and tuna spreads. As part of an expansion into a new processing facility, GoldCoast Salads installed a customized washing tunnel that will further ensure its food buggies will be cleaned and sanitized.
“Not only does the new system completely wash and sanitize, it helps prevent contaminants or bacteria from reaching the food processing area,” says Director of Operations Adam Radno. “Food safety is critical throughout our industry, but it is even more critical for us because our products are RTE [ready-to-eat], and there are no post-production safety measures such as post-pasteurization. This new tunnel washing system helps ensure we continuously maintain our stringent safety standards.
