Why Ultrasonic Cleaning is crucial for Food and Drug Companies

May 16th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

When it comes to the cleaning of parts and equipment used to process or dispense food, ultrasonic technology meets and exceeds the toughest of standards. In the food and drug industry, as you can imagine, inspectors must be extremely thorough. Using ultrasound will more than please even the most meticulous inspectors, reduce your labor overhead, and increase your bottom line.

Food and Drug Industry

Companies such as Anheuser-Busch and Natural Alternatives are using Omegasonics’ machines to ultrasonically clean processing and dispensing equipment.

Ultrasound doesn’t use any harsh chemicals so you don’t have to worry about putting toxic substances near food, supplements and pharmaceutical items. Ultrasonic tanks generally use water-based soaps or just water alone to easily and effectively remove dirt, scale minerals, grime, oils and other residues from most surfaces. Filler valves, vitamin molds and dispensing equipment to name a few are the more common items being cleaned with precision ultrasonic cleaning systems in the food industry.

In an industry with a wide range of products that need to be cleaned, ultrasonic machines are built to accommodate your particular work area. Ultrasonic cleaning units can also be customized to meet your specific needs, size, power and other specifications. By using only a variety of mild solutions including citric acid and water, ultrasound is able to meticulously and safely remove dirt, scale minerals, grime, oil and other resides from virtually any surface without exposing employees or your product to unsafe chemicals.

Our friend, Dave Pierson formerly of from Pepsi Bottling Group had this to say about his experience with ultrasound machine, “The ultrasonic cleaners are working great! The precision parts in our fillers have never been cleaner or rebuilt as well!”

Companies all across the nation such as Anheuser-Busch and Natural Alternatives are all using Omegasonics’ machines to clean ultrasonically in the medical, food and drug industry!

Ultrasonic Cleaning: The Choice for Food and Drug Companies

January 24th, 2011 by Frank Pedeflous

The medical, food, and drug industries must meet extreme standards when it comes to the cleanliness for processing equipment. Bacteria, germs, dirt, oils, and food particles are all prone to make cleaning a difficult and time intensive task.

However, the good news is that even the most stringent guidelines in these industries can be met with less time and lower costs using ultrasonic cleaning technology. The key is to use mild solutions including citric acid and/or water instead of harsh soaps when cleaning parts used to process or dispense food, supplements and pharmaceuticals.

Ultrasound technology safely cleans and disposes all dirt, minerals, grime, oil, and other residues from any surface. Companies such as Pepsi, Coca Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing and Natural Alternatives are all using ultrasonic cleaning machines inside their plants across the nation. These machines are being used on parts such as:

• Vitamin and supplement processing equipment;

• Soft drink filler valves (which often become clogged with syrup);

• Food and beverage containers and dispensers;

• Baking pans; and;

• Cannery vent hoods .

Using ultrasound will please even your most vigorous inspectors, all while reducing labor and cleaning costs, thus and improving your bottom line.
