What is industrial Tank Cleaning?

Tank cleaning is a critical process in the food and beverage industry to ensure that the tanks meet stringent safety and hygiene standards. Proper cleaning is essential to prevent contamination, maintain product quality and extend tank lifetime. This page provides an overview of the latest developments in industrial tank cleaning equipment, highlighting innovations that improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Maintenance of tank cleanliness

There are a number of things to consider when using tanks for the production of different products in the food and beverage industry. First and foremost, the organisation must ensure the safety of its employees, as well as the end consumer. It is therefore important to use clean tanks as this reduces the likelihood of accidents or injuries caused by hazardous materials such as chemicals and flammables. Proper cleaning mitigates the potential for contamination that could harm the workers and the enviroment.

Compliance

In the food and beverage industry, there are a number of different strict regulations that production must comply with. These include cleanliness and safety, health and environmental regulations and specific industry standards. Incorporating the right industrial tank cleaning equipment will not only ensure that your production facility meets industry standards, but also that your organisation complies with strict cleanliness, safety, health and environmental regulations.

Industrial Tank Cleaning


  • Storage Tank
    Storage tanks are used to store raw materials, ingredients and finished products. This can range from: beverages, oils, syrups, etc. Storage tanks are usually made of stainless steel for its durability, corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. Some tanks can also be manufactured from food grade plastic or enamelled steel, depending on the specific storage requirements and the nature of the contents. Maintaining and cleaning storage tanks on a regular basis is essential to comply with health regulations and ensure safe food and drink production. Proper cleaning procedures not only ensure product quality, but also extend the lifetime of the tanks and improve overall operational efficiency.
  • Process Tank
    Process tanks are used for mixing, blending and processing ingredients into the final product, this can include dairy products, sauces, juices etc. Choosing the right industrial tank cleaning technology for process tanks is essential to maintaining high standards of hygiene and operational efficiency. Automated cleaning systems provide consistent and thorough cleaning, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing safety risks. These systems are designed to reach all internal surfaces of the tank, ensuring that even hard-to-clean areas are properly sanitised.
  • Fermentation Tank
    Fermentation tanks are specially designed for the fermentation of yeast, sugar and grains for the production of beverages. Effective cleaning of fermentation tanks is essential to prevent contamination and ensure the purity and quality of the final product. Regular maintenance and cleaning helps to prevent off-flavours and undesirable microbial growth that could affect the taste and safety of the beverage. Advanced cleaning technologies, such as automated spray systems, are used to thoroughly sanitise these tanks between fermentation cycles. By maintaining strict cleaning standards, manufacturers can ensure consistent quality and efficiency in their production processes.
  • Preventing Contamination
    If using tanks to manufacture your products, be prepared for residues to build up in the tank. Residue build-up can encourage the growth of bacteria, yeast and mould, which can affect the products being manufactured. By using the right tank cleaning machine, it is possible to prevent this type of contamination. If producing many different products, it is essential to ensure that cross-contamination between different batches of product is prevented, as this will also prevent flavour transfer.
  • Maintaining Product Quality
    As a company, you have an obligation to your products, as the consumers expect the company to deliver the best possible product. Products produced in a tank have the potential to be compromised by residual flavours if not properly cleaned.
