Some of the key factors to consider are the cleaning agents, which often comprise of a mixture of agents, the frequency of cleaning, the application of the cleaning agent and if the cleaning agents are heated at time of application. Unfortunately there is no one data sheet or table that covers all these variables and we treat case by case.
- Cleaning agent
- The dilution level
- How it is applied (spray, fog, other)
- The pressure it is applied at if sprayed (we see high pressure cleaning more often in the food sector not so much in pharmaceutical)
- Frequency of cleaning
We can then review and advise on the suitability of the product. Traditionally the more corrosive cleaning agents see us move to a toughened glass cover. For some very corrosive cleaning requirements we have even had to move to stainless steel framed product. However, this scenario is more rare.
