Hello all,
I'm a maintenance engineer for an Organic snack bar manufacturer. Am am looking for information on tool sanitization for tools that come into contact with food processing equipment. I've been loooking into adding some ultrasonic cleaners to take care of this.
Currently I'm using every precaution to prevent any tools from contacting anything that may come into contact with food. All the tools are locked into a tool box, and I'm the only one with a key. After I finish maintenance or emergency repairs, the tools are hand cleaned with dish detergent, rinsed, then sprayed with vinegar and dried, then signed back into the tool box.
This is absorbing a significant amount of my time. Time I would like to spend with my machines ;o)
So to summerize:
1, Can I replace all hand washing of tools with an UItrasonic cleaner
2, What solution chemistry would best suit ultrasonic cleaning in an Organic certified plant
3, If Ultrasonic cleaning is suitable for maintenance tools, would it also be ok for the kitchen tools as well?
Thanks to all who read and/or respond.
Cheers,
G
