Advantages of cleaning and disinfecting with foam
Cleaning and disinfecting with foam has many advantages compared to cleaning with liquids for both Open Plant Cleaning (OPC) and Cleaning In Place (CIP).
Cleaning and disinfecting with foam lengthens the soaking time/contact duration of the medium, that in turn also improves the effectiveness of the treatment.
Longer soaking time:
- Foam from left to right (and right to left) on vertical surfaces, with all foam layers nicely meeting each other with no overlapping. Overlapping makes the foam heavier and it will then slide down off the walls quicker.
- Similar reason why foam is always applied from below upwards. The force of gravity would bring the foam downwards more quickly if the foam was applied from the top downwards.
Why foam cleaning is a safe option?
- When you clean or disinfect with foam you can visually check what exactly is being foamed.
- Using foam creates less aerosol (small liquid droplets).
- A foam can “creep” so it easily and thoroughly gets to treat parts that are difficult to reach.
Use a foaming system!
A convenient and effective cleaning installation is needed for efficient foam cleaning.
This can be based on a decentralised, centralised or mobile system depending on the customer’s needs. Are you not sure if a centralised or decentralised cleaning installation is the best option for you? Make sure you also read further on this topic.
