Application of SolidWorks in the Design of Plastic Steering Wheel

Preface Plastic steering wheel is a new product we developed for a company. In the design process, the parting surface, the draft angle of the injection mold and the robustness of the structure should be considered. The structure seems simple, but it is complicated. This article mainly uses SolidWorks’ functions such as stretching adding, cutting and …

Designer, what’s your moth?

Recently the word moth is very popular on the Internet, what is a moth? The original intention was that in ancient times, many city pools were surrounded by a river, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. It is now commonly used to liken the core competencies of a business or brand, such as WeChat’s moth is social and user, Apple’s moth is IOS system and innovation, such enterprises and brands are difficult to replace.

Design requirements of clamping device in fixture design

During machining, in order to maintain the correct position determined when the workpiece is positioned and prevent the workpiece from displacement and vibration under the action of cutting force, inertial force, centrifugal force and gravity, the machine tool fixture should be equipped with The clamping device presses and clamps the workpiece firmly. Whether the clamping device is reasonable, reliable and safe has a significant impact on the accuracy, productivity and labor conditions of the workpiece. For this reason, the following basic requirements are proposed.

Thinking about complex and simple design

Nowadays, there are more and more apps in our mobile phones, and a simple and clear software is more popular with users; but some software has many functions and sections, how can users make complicated functions simple? The author of this article shared his thoughts on complex and simple design, let’s take a look together.

FAQs: Hygienic Design of Equipment

The information below addresses some key elements for the hygienic design of food processing equipment. It is important for the hygienic design team to determine when a piece of equipment, or component, is rendered inoperable due to age, particularly as coatings on equipment can chip, creating rough surfaces, and constant equipment repairs can result in unreachable gaps. New designs and technologies are always emerging to help with food safety solutions, but hygienic design of equipment should always be front and center to a facility’s food safety plan as it can significantly reduce the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm).

Who’s Responsible for Oversight of Sanitary and Hygienic Design?

The governing bodies and regulatory agencies overseeing sanitary and hygienic design for food equipment have certain differences due to their sphere of influence. All agree in general on the need for prioritizing food safety above all else.
Many, like the 3-A Sanitary Standards, provide certifications designating that equipment meets the proper standards for a particular industry. All have their own systems of reporting violations and targeting any food equipment manufacturers seeking to find shortcuts that put the safety of the public at risk.
Any manufacturer caught falsifying approvals from the FDA or other oversight organizations run the risk of being shut down and permanently barred from the industry.

Reasons for Hygienic Design & Advantages of Hygienic Design

In the food industry, medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry, product safety and consumer protection are becoming increasingly important. Due to their specific properties, standard parts in Hygienic Design can assist the production process in these sensitive areas and facilitate the manufacturing of products free from preservatives that have long shelf life.

10 main principles of Hygienic and Sanitary Design

Hygienic and sanitary design is the integration of design and engineering with the full food and beverage production environment to minimize contamination risk and enable effective cleaning and sanitation.

What is Sanitary and Hygienic Design?

Sanitary and hygienic design take into account all the machinery and related infrastructure involved in processing food for public consumption. Different places use different methods depending on the type of product produced or served. But there are common standards and best practices that all manufacturers should be following to prevent accidental contamination of food sources.
