Closed process equipment
Milk-contact tanks, pipelines and thermal-process equipment require structured CIP programmes.
Operating / process challenges
Dairy hygiene spans closed systems, containers and the plant around them.
Packaging and BMC require different approaches
Bottle or can washing and BMC cleaning solve different hygiene tasks.
Open plant and sanitation support the full programme
External surfaces, filling areas and processing environments require controlled cleaning and sanitisation.
