Start-Up Check Sheet for Mixing Area

by Aaron Argudo, from the Community

This start-up check sheet helps manufacturing teams validate the readiness of the mixing area before production and during changeovers. It guides team leaders through checks on spiral, horizontal, and planetary mixers, control panels, keys, lids, seals, and outfeeding hatches. It also covers margarine tanks, taps, motors, hot plates, mixing bowls, and hoses. The process includes logging issues, halting equipment if needed, escalating to management, and signing off once equipment is clean, intact, and safe for use.
