You live with equipment purchasing decisions a long time. It's important to get them right.
In our PACK EXPO session today, we shared the difference between equipment that performs and equipment that causes expensive problems, like longer CIP cycles, failed inspections, and contamination risk. It comes down to the questions you ask and the documentation you require before you sign the purchase order.

Give us a "Like" if you'll join us tomorrow at PACK EXPO for "Spec It Right" featuring Beth Wojtaszek and Schweitzer. The session begins at 12:30 p.m. CDT on the Industry Speaks stage (N-4544), which is right across from our booth.

Equipment purchases in food and beverage processing are 10- to 20-year commitments. The difference between equipment that performs and equipment that causes problems, including longer CIP cycles, failed inspections, contamination risk, comes down to what you require before you sign the purchase order.

This session gives attendees two practical tools they can use immediately: a Total Cost of Ownership Calculator that translates surface finish, drainage design, and maintenance accessibility into real facility costs, and the 3-A SSI Certified Equipment Directory, a live verification database of 650+ certified equipment manufacturers searchable by equipment category, sector, and certificate status.

Stop by to:
- Run two bids through the TCO Calculator and see what each one really costs
- Get a first look at the upgraded 3-A SSI Certificate Database. Pull a list of 3-A Symbol-bearing equipment by Standard, or verify a certificate’s status from the field.

On Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. CT, Beth Wojtaszek and Schweitzer present “Spec It Right: What Smart Equipment Buyers Do Before the First Quote” on the Industry Speaks stage N-4544.

Why do your comments on proposed updates to Disc-Type Valves (57-02) matter?

"Food processors, equipment manufacturers and regulators each see disc-type valves from a different angle. When all three weigh in, the revision reflects how this equipment is actually built, cleaned and inspected," says Schweitzer, 3-A SSI director of standards and certification.

Equipment is a 10- to 20-year commitment. Decisions that drive your true cost happen before your first conversation with sales.
On Weds., Oct. 21, at 12:30 p.m. CDT, Beth Wojtaszek, 3-A SSI executive director, and Schweitzer, director of standards and certifications, take the Industry Speaks stage (N-4544) at PACK EXPO to present "Spec It Right: What Smart Equipment Buyers Do Before the First Quote."
You'll leave with a framework for writing specs that protect your facility, two tools you can use right away, and straight talk from 3-A Symbol Holders on what separates buyers who get it right from buyers who don't.
