Alcojet

We have a glass wash machine and use Alcojet for it. We would like to know if you need to include a neutralizing agent like Citrajet as part of the wash cycle (acid rinse)? Alcojet® Low Foaming Powdered Detergent is what we would call free-rinsing, meaning it rinses completely away with water without rinse aids.

Q. I use a Miele glass wash machine and currently use Alcojet. I am wondering if I need to use a two step wash with an acid rinse to be sure the glass is residue free. What detergents would you recommend for either a one or two step cleaning process?
A. Alcojet detergent is free-rinsing, meaning it rinses completely away with water and without rinse aids. There are no softeners, brighteners, fragrances or other residues that are not involved with the specific action of aqueous cleaning. Having said that, we know of many applications that do still involve an acid rinse/wash.

Q. We have foaming in our wastewater neutralizatiion system. Is low-foaming AlcoJet cleaner a suitable alternative? Is it compatible to Alconox?
A. Alcojet is a low foaming version of Alconox. The two detergents are not chemically identical of course, but functionally each functional ingredient in Alconox has a comparably functioning ingredient in Alcojet.

Q. What are two Alconox brand cleaners are low foaming and USDA approved for cleaning food contact surfaces?
A. Alconox, Inc. manufactures cleaners for food contact surfaces with no interfering residues.

Q. What is the lowest recommended washing temperature for Alcojet to guarantee full dissolving?

A. Alcojet can dissolve at ambient temperatures, but Alcojet dissolves faster in hot water. The recommended concentration of 1% Alcojet (10 g/L or 1.25 oz/gal) will dissolve within 10 minutes at 20 deg C when dosed in a dispersing manner that does not allow the Alcojet to clump together when dosed in water to form hydrated cements that are very slow dissolving.
