Using Ultrasonic Cleaning Technology for Food Plants

Cleanliness is an absolute must especially for companies that prepare or process food. Food processing requires companies keep their tools clean and sanitized. These issues can be addressed with ultrasonic cleaning systems such as those offered by Kaijo.

Kaijo's ultrasonic cleaning systems are a better alternative to conventional cleaning methods. These systems generate ultrasonic sound waves in the liquid of a cleaning tank where the parts are placed for cleaning. The ultrasonic sound waves create cavitation bubbles in the cleaning solution. This collapsing of bubbles creates a strong scrubbing action that removes impurities and contaminants from the surfaces to be cleaned.

The intensity of the cleaning action can be adjusted by changing the ultrasonic frequency. Machines and tools that prepare and process food are often contaminated with oil, grime, and food residue from frequent use. For this, parts should be generally cleaned at low frequency levels, which generate bigger cavitation bubbles that do the more robust cleaning. Even the food itself can be cleaned by the ultrasonic cleaning method. Delicate food, as well as the delicate plastic parts used to process food, is generally cleaned at higher frequency levels. These higher frequency levels produce smaller bubbles for a gentle cleaning action.

Some of the reasons why food plants use ultrasonic cleaners for the preparing and processing food include:

·         Faster than traditional cleaning methods

·         More efficient and effective in cleaning many types of parts -- even parts that have complicated shapes as well as holes and crevices

·         Less labor-intensive

·         Eliminates the use of harsh cleaning chemicals and solvents

·         Cost-effective

·         Environment-friendly

With the advantages above, Kaijo's advanced ultrasonic cleaning systems will significantly increase productivity in food plants and increase their bottom line in the process.
