Acidic Cleaning-in-Place agents

The dairy industry has around 12,000 processing facilities across Europe – which means daily in-place cleaning of a huge number of lines, pipes and tanks with multiple metal, plastic and glass components. The process can be complex, with various stages to descale and remove milk stone, dissolve fats, disinfect, rinse equipment and leave glassware sparkling clean.

Even though conventional acidic cleaners (with nitric or phosphoric acid or others) do the job, multiple rinsing steps are required, and the environmental impact of the acids is significant. BASF has developed a new generation of acidic CIP cleaners that save water and energy, have a lower environmental footprint and clean faster and better. In fact, with BASF, your brand can offer dairy plants a solution that enables them to do 99% of the cleaning in one step.
