High and low pressure in one system
April 1st 2011 Over the years, food process
cleaning has used both high and
low pressure water.
High pressure has been
avoided due to the aerosol effect
and the theory of bacteria being
suspended in air borne particles.
Therefore, wash down pressures
below 20 Bar have been installed,
although in some factories, it
does mean more manual cleaning.
Cleaning pressures have risen
to allow a reduction in the water
flow from each gun. In low-risk
areas, medium pressures of 40 to
100 bar are common.In high-risk
areas, lower pressures are
common.B & G Cleaning
Systems can achieve both these
pressures from one system.
B & G has developed a
computer controlled system for
larger requirements which uses
two of its standard six pump
assemblies connected to the
same ring main.
A new medium pressure pump
set has also been introduced
using a sealless
pump system.This
uses 30 litres/min
pumps capable of a
maximum pressure of 70
Bar. A single pump assembly
is available for smaller
producers as well as
assemblies up to six pumps.
B & G Cleaning Systems can
provide a turn-key project with
satellite foam/sanitiser
connection points and a ring
main. More articles from B & G Cleaning Systems Ltd: |
