# Hygienic Design - Corrosion-Resistant Drive Solutions
Hygienic and safe production
============================
Corrosion-resistant solutions for hygienic automation and optimized maintenance
Corrosion protection is vitally important for quality and maintenance optimized production – to meet the rising worldwide demand for industrial cleaning technology. Our Corrosion Resistant and Hygienic Design products allow hygienic and sterile automation close to the process.
### Food industry
### Pharmaceutical industry
### Cosmetics industry
Particularly in the processing and primary packaging of perishable foods such as meat and fish, hygienic processes are mandatory and prescribed by a wide range of regulations. Open machine concepts in hygienic design reduce the cleaning effort and contamination risks.
“Good Manufacturing Practice” (GMP) for pharmaceuticals stands for high demands on quality in production and packaging processes via a wide range of international regulations. Whether creams in tubes and jars, capsules in blisters, or vaccines in glass vials - it is a simple task for your drive train, thanks to the hygienic stainless steel surfaces and advanced seals of our gearboxes.
As in the food and pharmaceutical industries, consumer safety is also the key consideration in manufacturing and primary packaging of cosmetic products.
### Fish processing
### Meat packaging
### Meat processing
### Delta robots
A hygienic production environment is a crucial factor in the fish processing industry. Increased consumer expectations with regard to quality and ever stricter legal regulations mean an unbroken cold chain and hygienic processes in the manufacture of fish products are vital. WITTENSTEIN is committed to supporting this trend with a comprehensive portfolio of drive solutions all along the production line.
