Superior cleaning

LLANDYRNOG CREAMERY, UK. One of the UK’s largest hard cheese processors increased the efficiency of its raw milk tank cleaning operations by 35% while reducing water usage by 30%.

Static spray balls in six raw milk storage silos were replaced with Alfa Laval Toftejorg Sani-Mega rotary spray heads. Cleaning times have been slashed from an average of 43 minutes to 28 minutes per silo, and standards of cleanliness have significantly improved. Tank heat-up time prior to CIP was maintained.
