There are many problems that need to be paid attention to when cleaning machinery and equipment used in the food processing industry. Because these mechanical devices are often in contact with food, cleaning agents on the surface of cleaning machinery can cause contamination of food. So how do food processing equipment and machinery clean? Taking into account the

Taking into account the characteristics of food factories, special care should be taken when cleaning mechanical surfaces to avoid the use of highly toxic detergents.

1. Spray cleaning and alkaline cleaning agent used

The most commonly used in food machinery cleaning is the general alkaline detergent, considering that some alkaline agents have corrosive effects on steel and non-ferrous metals. Therefore, an alkali agent comprising sodium silicate as a main component in combination with other alkali agents, hard water softeners, and surfactants is used.

A commonly used method is to spray or apply a 3% to 5% aqueous solution of an alkaline agent to a mechanical surface. The easiest and most effective method is to use jet blasting, using a mobile or jet-type mobile jet cleaning device, with a lower concentration of washing solution, at a slightly higher temperature for better results. Representative detergent formulations are as follows.
