In carrying out cleaning and disinfection procedures consistently to the required standards, Food and Beverage companies can conform to their legal, commercial, quality and ethical responsibilities. In addition to producing safe food and drink, there are further benefits gained in providing a safer and more pleasant working environment that is easier to maintain. A consistent hygiene performance impacts directly on the overall image of a factory, its products and its management.

”Foam cleaning” is the globally recognised method for open surface cleaning in the Food and Beverage processing industry; disinfectants may also be applied as foams. Selection of product type, in use concentration, dryness and residence time are all very important factors to ensure consistent results at the lowest cost. Ecolab’s customised service will ensure that each customer gains the benefits most suited to them.

Ecolab’s foam and thin film detergent technologies are sophisticated formulations applied under low pressure. The structure of the foam matrix is very important because it is the carrier for the other non-foaming cleaning ingredients. Furthermore, the relative stability of the foam bubbles provides varied contact times and cleaning efficiencies and they make the foam visible to the hygiene operator, which enables monitoring. In order to create foam we also need application equipment. The type of equipment used impacts significantly on the final foam quality and the overall hygiene results achieved.

To achieve all of the above consistently is a significant challenge for the Food and Beverage Industry and it will require the use of quality hygiene chemicals, equipment and implementation services from a professional company.
