Tank cleaning systems use 3D-indexed, high-impact cleaning to remove residue from tank walls and surfaces, preventing any bacterial buildup between batches. They are also made from high-quality materials, such as 316L stainless steel, to resist corrosion, and utilise high-polish surface finishes cleaning to prevent rouging or residue buildup.
Yes, Alfa Laval’s cleaning systems are designed with a strong emphasis on compliance with food safety standards, including principles related to HACCP and alignment with standards like BRCGS.
The systems ensure thorough cleaning between different product runs through high-impact, low-flow jet cleaning. This ensures that no residue can persist between batches and cause cross contamination.
Our cleaning solutions are designed for all food processing vessels including mixing tanks, storage vessels, and processing equipment. Each solution is optimised for specific applications while maintaining consistent cleaning standards, from low-viscosity liquids to challenging products like sticky sauces and protein-rich foods.
Yes, our equipment range is designed with flexibility in mind, and they can indeed be integrated with existing CIP systems. The technologies we provide are modular and can be tailored to specific requirements, and integrated with existing production infrastructure. Cleaning devices, such as the TJ20G Rotary Jet Head can be retrofitted, allowing for immediate improvements to CIP efficiency, while minimising downtime.
Our systems support sustainability goals through significant reductions in water usage (up to 90%), energy consumption (up to 80%), and chemical usage. These improvements directly contribute to environmental targets while reducing operational costs, helping food producers meet both sustainability and efficiency objectives.
