Cleaning food mixers

REQUIREMENTS

When cleaning in companies that process or produce food, the strictest hygiene requirements apply to the system parts that come into contact with the food. Cleanliness, and thus residue-free cleaning, has top priority.

This naturally also applies to food mixers, as in the application described here. Specifically, sauces and herbs had to be mixed, for which a mixing system with counter-rotating rotors is used to ensure the most even mixing of the food possible.

PREVIOUS TECHNOLOGY

Flawless functioning of the machine can only be ensured if it is 100% clean, since the food to be mixed is highly concentrated. For this, the manufacturer has to carry out a particularly thorough and residue-free cleaning of the mixer before setting up each new product. That costs time and is an unpleasant task for the employees, especially as up to now cleaning was carried out with damp cloths and by hand.

OUR SOLUTION

The low-pressure hot-water cleaning technology opens up new possibilities here: with the low pressure of up to 7.5 or up to 14 bar, even sensitive parts are not damaged.

At the same time, food residues and especially oils and greases are loosened optimally by the high temperatures of up to 95°C.

YOUR BENEFITS

• Efficiency/quality: Fast and thorough cleaning. Thanks to various lances and nozzles, easy cleaning even of hard-to-reach or sensitive areas, e.g. the blades of the mixing system.
• Optimal accessibility: Units are mobile and largely self-contained, and can therefore be driven up to the machine to be cleaned without any problem.
• Easy cleaning even in production: minimal splash-back effects, no droplet clouds, no aerosols and much more.
• Considerably more pleasant work than by hand or with chemicals.
• Thanks to the low pressure, no damage to sensitive parts.
• Cleaning medium: Hot water or deionised water, without added chemicals. Therefore:
• No contamination risk.
• Low costs for procurement and disposal.
• Spontaneous use in an emergency possible at any time.
• Disinfecting effect.
• Occupational and environmental protection: No chemicals means higher environmental compatibility, higher occupational safety and significantly lower costs.
• Overall: Considerably less working time when cleaning, thus fewer stoppages, better cleaning result, no chemicals, no damage.
• Comparatively low investment and hardly any running costs, but in return high efficiency and quality.
