A pizza processing machine provider found a faster way to do a time-intensive task.
AM Manufacturing Company is well-acquainted with the mess pizza-making creates; they make, sell and refurbish the equipment used for mass production of frozen pizzas. AM performs a significant amount of testing, which entails running parts and machines through the dough-making and pizza-baking processes. The equipment can quickly become covered in oil and dough, which have to be cleaned off before more testing can be performed.
For years, AM employees would soak parts in soapy water and scrub away residue—a laborious and time-consuming activity. Even when thoroughly cleaned, built-up deposits of oil and dough remained in hard-to-reach crevasses.
