Degres-L Injector Cleaning
Realzyme’s enzymatic solution for injector cleaning with Degres-L
- Biofilm treatment
- Complete elimination of recurring contaminations
- Increase product shelf life
- Improves the quality of finished product
- Safe for users (neutral pH)
- Safe for equipment (soft metals, plastic, paint, etc)
- No negative impact on wastewater treatment process like quat-based products
- More economical than competing products
Processors in the beef, pork, and poultry industry use brine injector systems extensively and presents cleaning challenges: The brine solution itself can be contaminated and the injector needles can transfer bacteria to carcasses. Also, the needles collect tissue, fat, etc as they inject brine into the carcasses.
A major benefit that all food processors will benefit from is an improvement in product shelf life !
The protocols listed below detail how to use Realzyme’s enzymatic detergents for both regular, everyday cleaning as well as for cleaning when there is a severe contamination, including biofilm issues.
Instructions for everyday injector cleaning
- Prepare the CIP cleaning solution using a 1% concentration (1.3 oz/1 gallon ratio) of DEGRES L.
- Run solution through system for (1) hour.
- Flush/rinse the system thoroughly.
- As a final step, apply an oxidizing-based disinfectant/sanitizer at a minimum of 400-500 ppm. Cycle this through the system for a minimum of 10-15 minutes. The use of an oxidizing-based product when properly used is critical to achieve a proper kill step and full deactivation of any remaining enzymes.
Instructions for severe contamination or biofilm treatment
- Prepare the CIP cleaning solution using 1% concentration (1.3 oz/1 gallon ratio) of DEGRES L and 0.2% concentration (0.26 oz/1 gallon ratio) of BIOREM CD20.
- Run the solution through system for (1) hour.
- Flush/rinse the system thoroughly.
- As a final step, apply an oxidizing-based disinfectant/sanitizer at a minimum of 400-500 ppm. Cycle this through the system for a minimum of 10-15 minutes. The use of an oxidizing-based product when properly used is critical to achieve a proper kill step and full deactivation of any remaining enzymes.
