Cleaning systems are often overlooked in comparison to production equipment. However, washing is a critical step between every production process. This non-production time generates significant issues, such as production losses due to non-conformities or cross-contamination. But also excess consumption of water, detergent, and loss of time.
For instance, manufacturing takes about 3 hours to produce cream, and cleaning will take between 45 minutes and one hour. If cleaning is not done properly, it will create downstream problems in terms of contamination and non-conformity of the finished product.
