• Cleaning Open Plant (COP)

  The majority of the food contact surfaces are cleaned using foam cleaning detergents and disinfectants. Effective hygiene requires a combination of specifically formulated products, appropriate application equipment supported with training and documented cleaning procedures.

• Clean In Place (CIP)

  Effective CIP, the only method of cleaning internal surfaces needs to address water and energy consumption and production downtime in order to deliver cost effective hygiene. Ecolab now offers several new cleaning programs combined with diagnostic and optimisation tools to help keep you at the leading edge of CIP operation.

• Tray and Crate Washing

  Tray and container washing can be a critical link in the food safety chain and can affect customer satisfaction. Large traywashing installations can consume large quantities of water, energy and chemicals. Ecolab's programs help customers achieve high standards of hygiene whilst controlling costs and within operational constraints.

• Hygiene Monitoring

  In the food processing environment, techniques to ensure food contact surfaces are free from contaimination can result in fewer product quality failures, rapid turnaround of production equipment, and higher levels of security and efficiency. Ecolab can provide equipment, consumables and technical support for rapid hygiene and allergen monitoring.

• Disinfection

  Disinfection and disinfectants in food processing environments are rapidly becoming a more regulated area, with the introduction of the Biocidal Product Directive. Ecolab offer a range of disinfectants covering all applications in the industry with appropriate legislative approvals, plus the necessary guidance and procedures for safe and effective use.

• Waterless Cleaning & Disinfection

  Cleaning and disinfection have traditionally been carried out in water based media. There are some applications in the Food Industry where water is undesirable, it can act as a vector for micro-organisms or interfere with the subsequent process. Ecolab have programs designed to deal with these challenges.

• Training

  Effective hygiene products and application equipment must be supported by appropriate training of the workforces in procedures and practices. All hygiene regimes needs to be audited to ensure compliance with documented procedures, legislation and Industry codes of practice.

• Personal Hygiene

  The workforce in any food manfacturing environment are a potential source for microbial and foreign body cross contamination. Ecolab can provide hand hygiene products and factory entry/exit control equipment supported by professional documentation training packages.
