"Fouling of food process plant surfaces and pipework and the resultant cleaning and maintenance needed is a significant industrial problem."
As pressure for businesses to achieve better efficiency, and carbon net zero industrial output mounts, reliance on traditional, but costly and harsh chemicals for clean in place (CIP) systems is being questioned.
Considerable inefficiencies still exist with chemical CIP which still relies on inefficient halting of production processes and lengthy changeover times.
As the cost of water and of chemical disposal continues to rise above inflation, what are the alternatives?
The future of preventing unwanted fouling and deposits in the food and beverage industry is ultrasonic antifouling, a sustainable and highly cost effective alternative to chemical CIP solutions. Sonicguard’s solutions for the food and bev industry have been developed to deal with a variety of biofouling, scaling and unwanted sediment challenges.
