Are your production installations doing their job, or are they holding your production back? 

It’s easy to overlook their impact, but production installations like electrical raceways play a key role in keeping your operations safe, clean, and efficient.  

In this episode of ‘Behind Clean Lines’ we sit down with Steve Voelzke from Robroy Industries to tackle this often-missed priority in food production. Steve shares straightforward tips on getting your production and overhead installations right — whether you're planning a new facility or upgrading an existing one.  

We’ll talk about practical solutions for avoiding contamination risks, cutting downtime, and designing for flexibility. Plus, Steve shares lessons from real-world projects that can help you prevent costly mistakes.
