Cleanability of process equipment
If a process equipment is easily cleaned it will be a big advantage when assuring a hygienic production and minimizing the total cost for use. Getting the equipment clean is as vital as making sure that the cleaning process is not too time consuming.
Purpose
This is a service provided by the RISE test bed Cleaning Innovation.
Product contact surface - open cleaning or closed (CIP)
In the testbed Cleaning Innovation we can measure and evaluate how much product residues and/or micro organisms that are left after cleaning, disinfection and/or sterilization.
Non product contact surface - outside equipment
Contamination gathering on the outside of the equipment will soon be a quality problem. Cleaning Innovation provides possibilities to evaluate cleanability of the outside of theequipment in our pilot plant.
Method
We offer among others the following services in laboratory or pilot/full scale:
- Analysis of microbiological cleanliness
- Test of how the material effects the cleaning result
- Evaluation of cleanability using model soil
- Detection and characterisation of residues of soil, allergens and chemicals
Deliveries
Validation of CIP and other cleaning routines.
