Ecological cleaning and disinfection in the food industry

Health and safety

The importance of Ecological Cleaning and Disinfection in the Food Industry while reducing process effluents

Production plants, packaging factories, food storage facilities, etc. The food industry is very concerned by the problems associated with cleaning and disinfecting premises to combat different sources of contamination. A cleaning and disinfection operations in the food industry is designed to eliminate dirt (waste from treated products or dirt from tools or machines used in the industrial process) as well as themicrobiological and chemical contamination and infections.

As the main supplier of food products, the agri-food industry is a sensitive sector of the economy. The quality of manufacturing processes and the hygiene standards that manufacturers must meet are therefore of the utmost importance in terms of health and safety.

The HACCP protocol not only prescribes rigorous disinfection of the production line, but also office cleaning on the premises occupied by the industry. After all, nothing must be left to chance.

In addition, the race towards organic food is forcing manufacturers to opt for environmentally-friendly cleaning processes. The choice of products and disinfection methods, and their use, must be compatible with the new requirements of organic food, for the benefit of both manufacturers and their consumers.

Ecological cleaning and disinfection in the food industry

Contamination in the food industry

90% of contamination occurring in thefood industry (food industry) occur during food processing and packaging. To reduce the number of contaminations, a regular cleaning and disinfection plan is necessary. These methods of cleaning and disinfection in the food industryIf they are followed correctly, they will eliminate BIOFIM, which may contain bacteria, viruses, yeast, spores and fungi.

Influence of High Temperature on Protein Deposits

The only examples available concern the elimination of organic soiling. Jennings (1959) showed that the effect of temperature can be attributed to the acceleration of reactions between detergent and deposit.

*(Schussler, 1970; Gallot-Lavallée et al1984) have in turn shown a increase from the temperaturegoes hand in hand generally a increase cleaning speed.

*Schussler (1976) states that an increase in Temperature reduces the viscosity of the medium, allowing it to diffuse more easily. of the detergent towards the turbulent core of the products of this reaction.

*Fryer & Bird (1994) show that a 20°C increase in temperature between 70 and 90°C doubles the removal speed.The higher the temperature, the faster the reactions, but they can also lead to be accompanied by undesirable reactions between the detergent and equipment materials cleaned.

Low temperatures help to preserve equipment but also make it more difficult to cleaning operations that are too time-consuming and therefore economically unattractive.

What's more, according to Perlat et al. (1986) temperatures below 40°C lead to reactions of gelling between proteins and the detergent (protein gel), which makes cleaning impossible.

It is for this reason that it is now clearly established that the abduction Protein deposits are best formed at 65/70°C. 

This is why IBL Specifik recommends the use of high-pressure, high-temperature steam for the cleaning and removal of biofilms from production surfaces and tools.

Steam under pressure and at very high temperatures (10/12 bars and 185°C for the Steambio 19000) has a detergent and biocidal effect which acts on grease and dirt of all kinds by eliminating microbial biofilm.

For Ecological Cleaning and Disinfection in the Food Industry, particularly on large horizontal and vertical surfaces that need to be disinfected, the foam gun is recommended. Its creamy white detergent and disinfectant foam, 8-bar air compressor and built-in high-pressure pump make it completely self-contained. Its features enable you to clean and decontaminate very large areas quickly and easily with a single operator.
