Salad Manufacturer Saves Thousands
Cleaning any food manufacturing facility is always a continuous challenge, but in a seasonal food producer the problem is further compounded by the lack of time when the plant is running 24/7 and there is simply no time to stop the line.
Our British Byotrol client is one of the biggest in the UK, supplying all the major supermarkets with bags of pre-washed salads. They have an excellent reputation for quality and freshness, but their building is getting old and was starting to present challenges. The Total Viable Counts (TVCs) were rising and listeria was beginning to become an issue. Their solution was to use Byotrol's Detergent Sanitizer, which not only conquered the microbial challenges, but also saved them nearly $300,000 per year.
They were able to clean and sanitize in a single step, which not only reduced the volume of water required by 75,000 liters per shift, but also reduced the manpower required by nearly 40%. There was no need for additional investment or significant training, they simply replaced the Cleaning and Rinsing Steps with a single Cleaning/Rinsing step.
