The ST-160.2 injector features an additional connection that supplies the required air quantity for foaming and is supplied with a wall bracket and metering valve. This injector should be used in conjunction with a hose that has an internal diameter of 12mm (DN12) to ensure the foam created at the injector does not collapse as it travels down the hose. A suitable wash gun with 1/2"F inlet and outlet is required.

Open plant cleaning in the Food Industry

Open plant cleaning is a critical process in the food industry that involves the thorough cleaning and sanitizing of all equipment, surfaces, and facilities that come into contact with food products. This type of cleaning is essential for preventing the growth and spread of harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause foodborne illnesses. Open plant cleaning involves a detailed cleaning schedule that includes the use of cleaning agents, such as detergents and sanitizers, along with mechanical cleaning methods to remove any residual debris or contaminants. By adhering to rigorous cleaning and sanitizing procedures, food manufacturers can ensure that their products are safe for consumption and comply with regulatory requirements.

Why use foam?

Foam is an essential tool in the open plant cleaning process in the food industry. Foam cleaning is a highly effective cleaning method that uses foam to cover and adhere to surfaces, providing excellent contact time for cleaning agents to work effectively. Foam cleaners are designed to remove even the toughest of soils, including fats, oils, and grease, which are common in food manufacturing facilities. The use of foam during open plant cleaning can help reduce water usage, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, foam cleaners are less likely to cause slip and fall accidents, as they are less likely to run off onto floors, and they can be easily controlled and targeted to specific areas. Overall, the use of foam during open plant cleaning in the food industry is crucial in ensuring a thorough and effective cleaning process that helps maintain food safety and hygiene standards.
