Making a profit from cleaning correctly

When it comes to a large-scale chicken slaughterhouse, cleaning is more than just an expense. While there is an uncompromising demand for efficiency, there is also a need to constantly improve the associated consumption. With this in mind, Lars Blirup, Facility Consultant at Scandi Standard, recently tested spray nozzles for low-pressure cleaning at Danpo Aars.

Foamico's excellence

They listened to me from the start and then made and sent me different nozzles based on my requests to reduce the spread from 15 to 10 degrees to get the same effect as our current 15-40 nozzle - but with less water consumption. I then ran them through another test with the other nozzles on the same day with exactly the same setup and they showed superior results compared to the competition.
A cleaning test was carried out on the selected nozzle, with four cleaners using the nozzle in production for a whole week, and all agreed on its effectiveness. "At Danpo in Aars, we have 28 cleaning staff who all use this type of nozzle for four hours a day, Monday to Friday, plus a weekend cleaning team - and this results in a total water saving of more than 7.5 million litres of hot water per year. The plan is now to roll out the new nozzle to more of Scandi Standard's factories, opening up even greater prospects for massive water savings at the group's sites." Lars Blirup.

- "I tested 14 hose nozzles from four different suppliers, to see the exact difference in water consumption, distribution, impact and durability of the nozzle based on the nozzle protection design. All the tests were carried out at Foamico in Nørresundby with exactly the same set-up during all the tests, and I participated in all the tests myself - partly to ensure that everything was 100 per cent consistent and fair," says Lars Blirup.

 

After numerous tests with many different nozzles, one Foamico nozzle stood out. "In order to get a fully comparable picture of performance, one particular Foamico nozzle stood out significantly from all the others, delivering a fantastic impact at only 34.5 litres per minute," says Lars Blirup.

  • Nozzle calculations
    Based on this project carried out by Lars Blirup - Facility Consultant at Scandi Standard. At Foamico, we have calculated the various savings that can be achieved by reducing 7.5 litres of water per year. These calculations focus on the cost of heating water, the cost of water into the factory and the cost of water out of the factory.
  • Total Cost Savings
    By using Foamico's 10/35 nozzle, this experiment shows that you can save a huge amount of water. Our calculations show not only a huge opportunity to implement the right cleaning to contribute to the bottom line, but also that the amount of water you save really makes a difference to the green transition. Heating cost savings for 1 year - € 18966,78 Cost saving for water to the factory 1 year - € 14075,59 Cost saving for water out of the factory 1 year - € 32172,77 Total savings - € 65215,14

Conclusion

The extensive testing and implementation of Foamico's advanced nozzles at Danpo Aars demonstrates how precision in cleaning technology can deliver significant financial and environmental benefits. By implementing Foamico's 10/35 nozzle, the company has achieved a remarkable reduction in water consumption and significant cost savings, equivalent to more than €65,000 per year. This successful trial highlights the potential for similar efficiency gains and cost reductions in various industrial cleaning applications. As industries continue to focus on improving operational efficiency while embracing sustainability, Foamico's innovative nozzles offer a proven solution to improve cleaning processes and contribute to environmental goals.
