Foam cleaning of industrial premises at the enterprise

The demands placed on food manufacturers force various industries to choose what equipment to use to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in production. In many factories, cleaning issues are still handled using manual labor or equipment not designed for use in food processing plants on a daily cleaning basis.

Washing equipment and cleaning premises are among the main tasks at the end of a work shift at any enterprise. The quality of the products ultimately depends on the quality of cleaning. Industrial premises must maintain a certain level of cleanliness and hygiene to ensure the safety of production processes and the health of workers. One of the effective methods of sanitization is foam washing.

Among the many disinfecting measures, washing is mainly carried out with liquid solutions and foam. Foam as a detergent seems to be a more convenient sanitization material. The use of foam allows you to achieve a number of advantages during cleaning:

  • Saving detergent and water.
  • The structure is better able to control the spread over the area. It is easier to apply and wash off. This reduces the time spent on treating the surface of the room.
  • High penetrating ability, which means a higher cleaning efficiency.
  • Convenient disinfection of hard-to-reach places.
  • A lower concentration of detergent additives and water significantly reduces the aggressive effect on metal structures.
  • The airy structure of the foam facilitates safer disinfection of surfaces in areas with electrical equipment.
  • The long contact time of the foam effectively removes hardened and stubborn stains due to its adsorption properties.
  • Direct contact of enterprise personnel with detergents is minimized, which ensures the safety of employee health.

Foam washing is a more economical and efficient cleaning method that reduces detergent costs and cleaning time, which in turn increases plant productivity. It allows you to clean even hard-to-reach areas that would be inaccessible for manual cleaning, as well as disinfect surfaces 100%.

The mechanism of the cleaning action of foam

The foam contains a large amount of detergent and surfactant additives. This is achieved by a high concentration of surfactants with active components relative to water. There is less water in the gaseous structure compared to liquid detergents, making cleaning more convenient.

Disinfection of surfaces with foam compositions occurs due to the bactericide in the detergent formula and surfactant.

  • Disinfecting properties prevent the proliferation of bacteria and viruses, the active components kill them.
  • The surfactant in the formula not only promotes foaming, but also cleans surfaces of contaminants, including organic ones.

The special composition of the detergent in the foam creates a dirt-holding effect, due to which polluting particles do not settle on the floor surface for a long time throughout the entire washing phase.

Surface cleaning occurs under the influence of complex physical and chemical phenomena.

  • Surface wettability (degree of penetration).
  • Adsorption of detergent components (associated with the dissolution and decomposition of contaminants).
  • Solubilization (degree of absorption/absorption of solids into foam).
  • Formation of suspensions (foaming with additional elements — solid particles).
  • Stability of the system to retain foam.

When the foam composition spreads (wet) over the contaminated surface, the active substances begin to attach and penetrate (adsorb) into the contaminants. By destroying the solid structure of the contamination, particles of the solid phase (contamination) come off the surface, being absorbed (solubilized) into the foam mass. Thus, after surface treatment, contaminants are suspended in the foam (a suspension is formed). And special surfactant additives prevent the molecular bonds in the bubble from breaking down, maintaining the stability of the foam system.

Mechanism of action of antiseptic properties

The foam acquires antiseptic properties due to the disinfecting molecules and alcohols in its composition, which must harmoniously perform their functions when combined with surfactants. Antiseptic substances are necessary during processing.

  • Molecules that act as bactericides disrupt the viable functions of the microbial cell.
  • Alcohol molecules destroy protein-based molecules or its cell membrane, which is comparable to death for bacteria. Scope of application of foam treatment of walls and floors

Disinfection should be carried out regularly. Foam sanitary measures are most often used in the food industry for cleaning industrial premises, these are:

  • meat processing and fish processing enterprises;
  • dairy production;
  • factories and bakeries producing flour products;
  • factories for the production of canned goods;
  • enterprises producing sugar, sweets, alcoholic beverages, etc.
  • Poultry farms, slaughterhouses;
  • Breweries, etc.

Organization of sanitary treatment of walls and floors in enterprises

Our company offers comprehensive solutions for external foam cleaning and disinfection of food equipment.

The system for external foam washing includes a set of equipment consisting of a pressure boosting pump station and foam stations located throughout the workshop in cleaning areas. Foam application, pressure washing and disinfection of food equipment are tasks that you can easily handle with a foam washing system.

Enterprise employees will no longer have to independently mix the cleaning solution, set up a foam generator, connect high-pressure apparatus, or move equipment from one room to another. When introducing a system of equipment for external foam washing into production, the time for cleaning premises and equipment will be significantly reduced, the consumption of water and detergents will be reduced, and sanitation and hygiene standards at the enterprise will increase. Foam processing technology is a system of a pumping station and washing stations, which are located along production areas. The posts consist of a foam satellite, an inertial drum and a hose with a gun. Satellites are foam stations that are designed for preparing a foam solution. The posts are supplied with compressed air and water. The mixture in the satellite foams under the influence of compressed air.

Management of washing stations is quite simple. Enterprise personnel will not have access to the internal unit of the satellite and will not be able to change its settings. A set of replacement jets is kept by the responsible person of the enterprise. The simplicity and convenience of the technology is a benefit for the enterprise, which will help save on detergent and maintenance personnel.

The simplicity and convenience of the technology is a benefit for the enterprise, which will help save on detergent and maintenance personnel. Also, thanks to foam treatment, the time for cleaning premises and equipment will be significantly reduced, and the consumption of water and detergents will be reduced.

The implementation of an external foam cleaning equipment system is an important step in increasing the efficiency of the production process and improving the quality of sanitization in factories.

The Odyssey Systems company offers high-quality equipment and detergents that can effectively combat pollution and maintain a high level of hygiene and safety in production. Our specialists are always ready to advise and help you choose the optimal solution for your enterprise
