Program helps save time and energy, enhances worker safety
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab introduces the Advantis® FC Cleaning Program, a
high-foaming, chlorinated alkaline cleaner specially formulated for use
with reduced temperature water. Advantis FC provides food and protein
processing facilities with excellent cleaning performance against
protein and fat soils on stainless steel processing equipment and plant
environmental surfaces.
Previous processes required sanitation water to be heated to
temperatures as high as 145 F. Advantis FC effectively cleans protein
and fat soils at temperatures as low as 105 to 110 F. The program
improves cleaning performance in plants that cannot achieve or maintain
high water temperatures throughout the sanitation shift.
"Advantis FC helps customers achieve operational efficiencies and
sustainability goals," said Nick Alfano, senior vice president and
general manager, Ecolab Food & Beverage North America. "The program
decreases water heating costs and the refrigeration costs necessary to
return production areas back to the appropriate temperatures. The
overall downtime necessary for the sanitation shift is reduced, with
customers saving up to one hour per day of cleaning time."
Employee safety conditions can be improved through the use of the
Advantis FC program by reducing poor visibility due to condensation and
reducing the potential for scalding injuries, when compared to solutions
requiring higher water temperatures. Customers using the program have
reported improved visibility, in one case an increase from four feet to
40 feet.

The Advantis FC Cleaning Program also will be featured at the Ecolab
booth, #1910, at the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Expo, July
14-16, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
