STEAM CLEANERS for
STEAM GENERATORS
Food packaging companies are required to comply with strict regulations that enable them to get the job done while keeping the packaged product free from contamination, intact and ready for consumption.
To ensure that food packaging companies meet these essential requirements, STI Steam Industry has developed steam cleaning machines that enable them to quickly and effectively sanitise and thoroughly hygienise working environments and machines used in food packaging.
Steam can be used to precisely clean even hard-to-reach corners, ensuring that surfaces are always hygienic and safe during the food packaging process.
Not to mention the significant savings in water and chemicals such as special detergents and cleaners used in the traditional cleaning process.
Inadequate sanitisation of food packaging can have serious consequences: bacteria, viruses, moulds and other pathogenic micro-organisms can grow on improperly sanitised packaging, contaminating food and increasing the risk of food-borne illness. In addition, the presence of contaminants can reduce the shelf life of food, resulting in significant waste and economic loss. The importance of implementing effective and reliable food packaging sanitisation methods is clear.
There are several methods of sanitising food packaging, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The two main sanitising methods are manual sanitising and steam sanitising.
Manual sanitising of food packaging involves the use of detergents and hot water to remove dirt and contaminants. While this method can be effective, it has several limitations. Secondly, the effectiveness of manual sanitising depends on the attention and precision of the operator, making it susceptible to human error. Finally, the use of chemical cleaners can leave residues on the packaging, with potential health and environmental risks.
Steam sanitising of food packaging is a modern and highly effective alternative to manual sanitising. Using the power of superheated dry saturated steam, this method is able to effectively eliminate germs, bacteria and viruses from food packaging. In addition to bacteria and viruses, steam is also highly effective in removing moulds and fungi, which can grow rapidly on food packaging, especially in humid environments, and pose a significant risk to food safety.
Steam’s ability to eliminate all these pathogenic micro-organisms ensures that food packaging is suitable for food contact, reducing the risk of contamination. Steam also penetrates surfaces, reaching even the most difficult to clean areas, ensuring complete and uniform sanitisation without the use of chemical detergents, making it an environmentally friendly and safe option for operators and consumers.
In summary, the benefits of steam sanitising food packaging can be summarised as follows:
Choosing the right steam cleaner for food packaging sanitisation depends on several factors. Firstly, it is important to consider the size of the unit, based on the specific needs of the production facility. The power of the cleaner is another aspect to consider: more powerful units are able to generate steam at higher temperatures, improving the effectiveness of food packaging sanitisation. The accessories available should also be considered: specific nozzles and brushes can facilitate the cleaning process and ensure optimal results.
