Advanced Cleaning Mechanisms: Different Ways Detergents Clean
We are running some cleaning trials with several of your detergents in our lab on a difficult to remove resin. There was no indication of solvating with solid flakes and particles of resin crashing to bottom. Can you provide an alternative detergent? Detergents are a synergistic blend of several cleaning ingredients (as opposed to soap). Ways detergents clean therefore….
Running SIP After Cleaning
Q: We are using Tergazyme to control biofilm residues. Works great. Can you think of any issues that might arise if we run a steam/pressure “kill cycle” after cleaning with the Tergazyme cycle is completed?
A: Tergazyme® Enzyme-Active Powdered Detergent is an excellent part of a biofilm control regimen. A thorough rinse will leave no residue left behind to speak of that might interact with your SIP kill cycle. After all,
Advanced Cleaning Mechanisms: Metallic Parts, Bath Monitoring
We are using a bath of Alconox powder for cleaning several metallic parts. We have found that both the concentration of Alconox, along with a set duration brings about the correct end result. As the wash solution is created at the beginning of each working shift, a gradual ‘weakening’ of the process occurs. In some instances, we resort to manually replenishing the tank with a fresh mix mid-shift. Would you have any general advice?
Cleaning Titanium Dioxide from Tanks
Residual titanium dioxide (TiO2) can certainly pose issues due to it’s nature in the presence of heat. To remove TiO2 from tanks using CIP sprayballs, it is important to use….
Non-foaming vs. Low-foaming Detergent
Q. We just purchased Alcojet which is a low-foaming detergent. The one we used before was non-foaming detergent. What’s the difference between “low” and “non?” Will Alcojet cause a foaming problem?
A. Alcojet® is designed for use in automated cleaning applications that require no foam problems. Alcojet® has an anti-foam agent that becomes effective at circa 110 deg F (45 deg C). As long as you clean at …
