Food processors around the globe have come to rely on proven, integrated, cost-effective approaches to provide pathogen protection and extend shelf life. By optimizing their spray technology to apply antimicrobials and mold inhibitors their food safety and output are enhanced, while reducing waste. Spray application technology is also widely used to apply sanitizers and chemicals for the effective, repeatable cleaning of equipment, floors, and walls.

Using the correct technology for the application is critical. To ensure optimal results, the first step is to consult with a spray technology partner that has significant experience in food safety and sanitation. An expert can guide you to the right system for any type of food processing, including dairy, meat and poultry, bakery, and other products. Working with the right strategies and systems, your plants can effectively and efficiently control pathogens and prevent recalls.

Dairy processors understand that mold inhibitors are essential for block and shredded cheese products. These inhibitors can be extremely costly and create unnecessary product waste. Many processors have come to accept this waste as a part of the application process.

Rethinking your application method can result in significant savings without compromising on safety.

If your plants are using manual application, dipping techniques or drilled pipes — the results can be inconsistent coverage of the cheese and over-application of mold inhibitors. Uneven coverage can result in higher mold counts and over-application which is wasteful and expensive.

The AutoJet® food safety system for cheese eliminates these problems by applying the proper volume of mold inhibitors directly on block or shredded cheese consistently with minimal or no waste. In fact, processors report that the system reduces mold inhibitor by up to 15% while also maximizing mold inhibitor effectiveness through uniform coverage.

The need to increase production can lead to a good news/bad news situation for food processing plants.

The good news: More production leads to more products and increased profits.

The bad news: Increased production can extend a food safety system beyond capacity and increase challenges facing an overburdened workforce.

That was precisely the challenge one poultry processor was facing. It was applying an antimicrobial agent during the packaging process. The food safety system in use had been effective, but demand now exceeded the system’s capacity. The processor needed to boost production by 10 turkeys per minute without compromising food safety.

Our technical spray experts helped the poultry processor reach its production goals and increase annual revenue by US$9.6 million. In addition, the expanded use of the SLIC (Sprayed Lethality in Container) process with precision dosing has advanced the processor’s sustainability initiative to eliminate chemical waste.

Effective equipment cleaning and consistent food safety are inseparable. That’s why many food processors have switched to an automated cleaning process. The consistent, reliable, repeatable automated cleaning of tanks, totes, vessels, drums and mixing equipment is a good way to provide food safety, savings and productivity gains year after year.

Manual tank cleaning falls far short of automated tank cleaning in effectiveness and sustainability. That’s because automated tank cleaning equipment optimizes the cleaning process for higher impact, better coverage and repeatability every time.

In addition, automated tank cleaning dramatically reduces cleaning time while still delivering superior results. Some plants report reductions in cleaning time up to 90%. That gets the tank back into service faster for more uptime, productivity and increased profits.
