In the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, cleaning and sanitizing tanks and mixers are fundamental processes to ensure product quality, as well as compliance with hygiene regulations.

The use of saturated steam in these processes represents a highly efficient, sustainable, and safe solution.

The injection of saturated steam inside a tank or mixer quickly brings the internal temperature to levels that melt product residues, eliminating them by gravity. For example, a 1000-liter tank can reach a temperature of 80°C in just 10 minutes, allowing effective removal of fats, oils, waxes, and other compounds typical of production processes.

This also ensures a sanitizing action that reduces microbial load without the use of aggressive chemical agents.

The introduction of steam into the tanks can be done completely automatically, without the need for a dedicated operator.
This reduces:

  • the risk of accidental contamination due to manual handling
  • operators’ exposure to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures
  • downtime between production cycles, increasing “operational efficiency”

Another advantage of steam over traditional methods is the greater sustainability in residue removal: the heat of the steam facilitates the detachment of the product from the walls without the need for scrubbing or applying aggressive detergents.
