I would even take that a step further to point out the benefits that someone who regularly uses the kitchen in their home that could benefit from one of these cleaners. I am more specifically thinking of someone who likes to make homemade cookies, cakes, sausages, and pasta, as all these tools and cookware have intricate, hard-to-clean parts.

Makes Life Easier

I have spent many an hour in the kitchen, both at home and in the restaurant industry, and I can tell you that we spend far too much time cleaning certain pieces of equipment. Now, you have no choice, because these items need to be clean to ensure you are serving safe food. That, however, does not take away from the time needed to clean them.

The first item that comes to mind is homemade pasta. Now, if you have ever seen these presses, you know how many tiny and delicate parts are used in them. The only way to truly get these cleaned is to strip them down, clean them, then put the machine back together again. Trust me… this is a painstaking process that eats up a lot of time.

How much easier would it be to just drop the piece into the tank and allow the ultrasonic cleaner to do its thing? The pieces would be cleaned in a matter of minutes with almost no man-hours eaten up.

We can say the same thing for knives, baking equipment, and even many of the items that are tough to clean on coffee machines. Many of these massive brewing machines cost thousands of dollars, but they also have some very small and difficult parts to clean (along with the larger pieces that are safe to clean in a tank). A machine those starts to see buildup can have nasty, bitter coffee, something that is easily avoidable by making ultrasonic cleaning part of the daily task.

Ultrasonic Cleaning for the Food Industry https://www.omegasonics.com/knowledge-center/blog/ultrasonic-cleaning-for-the-food-industry/ Fri, 19 Nov 2021 14:19:08 +0000 https://www.omegasonics.com/?p=33390 Every food processing plant and restaurant, regardless of size, should be using ultrasonic cleaners. Omegasonics has a wide variety of cleaners and custom ultrasonic cleaning tanks for every food processing plant and restaurant to choose from. Food processing machines need to be cleaned regularly and thoroughly for processing plants to meet food safety standards. Without an efficient and effective cleaning method for their machinery, food industry professionals are risking the quality and consistency of their product.

Save Time with Ultrasonic Cleaning

The disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of food processing machines is long and tiresome. Cleaning each part by hand takes many hours of manual labor. For smaller processing plants and restaurants, all time spent cleaning is time not being spent preparing and cooking the food. This lack of product production directly results in a lack of revenue. 

Ultrasonic cleaning can reduce the time spent cleaning food processing machinery by up to 85 percent. That means fewer hours spent cleaning machines and more hours spent preparing and cooking profitable food. As with any business, time is money. Saving time is always a goal for food processing plants and Omegasonics ultrasonic cleaners will help you achieve that. 

Cleaner Food Processing Machines

Ultrasonic cleaning methods deliver a more reliable clean. Many areas of food processing machinery are hard to get to with sponges when cleaned by hand. Ultrasonic cleaners can reach every nook and cranny with ease. The sound waves can travel along any surface into those hard-to-reach places. Ultrasonic cleaners remove everything from grease and grime to food particles and bacteria. 

Many food processing plants see the production of food from start to finish. From raw food to cooked products, this machinery encounters a lot. Both the owners of the food processing plant and the consumers of the final food product rely on the cleanliness of food processing machinery.  Omegasonics ultrasonic cleaners give you the chance to deliver safe food products to your customers confidently.

Ultrasonic Cleaning is a Financially Smart Decision

Not only are you saving money as a by-product of saving time in the cleaning process, but ultrasonic cleaners are also saving food processing plants money long-term. The water-based cleaning agent is gentler on parts, extending the lifetime of the food processing machinery. Additionally, you are saving money in the long run because other harmful chemical cleaners are far more expensive than environmentally friendly ultrasonic cleaning agents. 

Ultrasonic cleaners are clearly the most beneficial choice of food processing plants. They deliver the fastest and most effective cleaning so you can deliver the highest quality products as consistently as possible. Omegasonics has the right cleaner to fit your food processing plant’s needs, including custom tank options.

An expert member of our team can recommend the best possible machine, cleaning agents, and filtration for your foodservice operation.

Why Ultrasonic Cleaning is crucial for Food and Drug Companies https://www.omegasonics.com/ultrasonic-education/why-ultrasonic-cleaning-is-crucial-for-food-and-drug-companies/ https://www.omegasonics.com/ultrasonic-education/why-ultrasonic-cleaning-is-crucial-for-food-and-drug-companies/#respond Mon, 16 May 2011 18:53:17 +0000 https://blog.omegasonics.com/?p=553 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. 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!

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.

Ultrasonic Cleaning for Food and Drug Companies

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. For more information, go here.
