With more than 30 years in the dairy packaging industry, Galdi has acquired a wealth of experience and product knowledge.

In order to provide customers with an even higher quality service, a few years ago Galdi created FILL good, our in-house start-up working on packaging development and food safety.

FILL good, which specialises in microbiological consulting and offers a range of dedicated services, has rapidly become an important resource for dairy producers.

Thanks to FILL good, lab technicians and quality managers in the dairy industry can rely on a dedicated team of specialists with vast microbiological expertise.

FILL good's advice is invaluable, both for producers needing all-round support (transition to a different packaging type), and also as a platform for experts to discuss a whole range of issues that have to do with food safety, from cleaning (cleaning cycles, reduction of cleaning time, chemicals use) to validation and testing procedures, which often encompass an entire production plant.

Below are 3 areas of intervention where FILL good's support can be of great benefit:

SHELF LIFE VALIDATION

FILL good can provide expert support in determining the shelf life of a product, working directly with the customers' own laboratories.

The experts at FILL good help customers draw up validation protocols, as well as effective and functional sampling plans, drawing on the extensive experience and knowledge Galdi has acquired over the years.

Following an initial discussion to define procedures and test designs, our specialists monitor test progress and provide support in the case of anomalies.

INTERVENTION IN THE CASE OF CONTAMINATION

In the event of contamination, FILL good offers strategic support to solve the issue as quickly as possible.

The collaboration between Galdi's technical support staff and FILL good's food safety experts speeds up troubleshooting, through the exchange of know-how and the analysis of machine logs and operator reports.

Once the problem has been fixed, FILL good's experts can provide specialized training to prevent contamination.

The goal of these meetings is to share best practices and checklists with operators, to help them maintain optimal hygienic conditions in the packaging area and use the machine properly.

PACKAGING NEW PRODUCTS

FILL good provides useful advice to dairy processors wishing to differentiate production by introducing new high-viscosity products.

After conducting viscometer testing on received samples and in close consultation with Galdi design engineers, our specialists prepare a report, detailing the ideal packaging configuration (speed, most suitable dosing system, etc.).

This offers a competitive advantage to customers, as it enables them to start a packaging process under the best conditions!

FILL good also indirectly supports the dairy industry.

Thanks to a continuous exchange of knowledge and insights with Galdi design engineers, it actively contributes to the research and development of new solutions for ever more hygienically advanced packaging systems!
