Drying Food Contact Brushes
Started by arturomar21, Apr 12 2023 09:25 PM
Hello all!
I recently became a sanitation supervisor at my plant and excited to continuously improve our process.
I am curious to know what processes there is out there when cleaning, sanitizing and drying food contact brushes. In terms of manufacturing, we blend dried ingredients - mainly powders.
Our process right now
- Clean brushes with water and soap. there is no actual scrubbing as we spray the soap and rinse with water.
- We put them in a cart take them to a room so that they can dry. Drying takes days. The room for the most part is clean, but occasionally dirty/soiled parts get to the room.
- We bag and individually tag the brushes with a "CLEAN TAG" with date and initials. We hang them or store them in a bin. The brushes are inside a cabinet.
Any suggestions, ideas and comments will help!
Thank you all!

Wet surfaces that likely contain miniscule amounts of food matter, this stands out. I would look for a sanitizer you can leave on the equipment after the rise, and a way to accelerate the drying.
