Alkaline Formulations (pH 11-14)
Application: Protein, fat, and oil removal
Ideal For: Meat processing, dairy, and bakery equipment
Benefits: Emulsification, saponification, and organic soil breakdown
Products: General cleaners, foam cleaners, and CIP detergents
Purpose: Remove milk fat, protein, and organic soils
Alkaline cleaners are commonly used during dairy cleaning cycles to break down organic milk residues. Correct concentration, temperature, and contact time are important for effective results. These formulations are particularly useful for regular CIP applications.
Low-Foam Alkaline Detergent
- Specially designed for CIP systems
- Prevents foam lock in pipelines
- Compatible with automated wash systems
- Ideal for modern rotary dairies
Acid Formulations (pH 1- 4)
Application: Mineral deposit and scale removal
Ideal For: Brewing equipment, dairy lines, and water systems
Benefits: Descaling, brightening, and passivation
Products: Phosphoric, nitric, and citric acid-based cleaners
Purpose: Remove milk stone and mineral deposits
Acid cleaning is an important part of maintaining dairy pipelines and processing equipment. Regular descaling helps control milk stone and mineral deposits that can affect equipment performance. These cleaning chemicals for dairy industry applications support cleaner and more efficient dairy systems.
Neutral pH Solutions (pH 6-8)
Application: Routine maintenance and light soiling
Ideal For: Stainless steel, aluminium, and sensitive surfaces
Benefits: Material compatibility and daily cleaning safety
Products: All-purpose cleaners, floor care, and general maintenance
Neutral cleaners provide a practical option for routine cleaning where heavy-duty alkaline or acidic products are unnecessary. They can be suitable for sensitive surfaces and general maintenance areas. Product selection should always consider the material being cleaned.
Sanitisers (Pre-Milking Treatment)
Sanitisation helps reduce microbial contamination before milking and supports overall milk hygiene. The appropriate sanitiser should be selected according to the application, equipment, water conditions, and required contact time. Correct use helps maintain consistent hygiene between milking cycles.
