Food Manufacturing Applications

HD CAUSDET is suited to heavy-duty foam cleaning applications throughout food and beverage production environments, including:

  • Food processing equipment
  • Beverage production equipment
  • Cooking equipment
  • Production lines
  • Processing machinery
  • Plant and equipment
  • Areas affected by fatty food residues
  • Equipment with baked-on or carbonised cooking deposits
  • Heavy organic soiling
  • General heavy-duty wet-cleaning applications within food manufacturing

For HACCP-controlled operations, the cleaning process should identify the area or equipment being cleaned, cleaning frequency, chemical used, dilution, method and monitoring arrangements.

HACCP & Food Hygiene Considerations

Effective cleaning is an important part of food safety management. A suitable cleaning programme should control food residues, contamination risks and chemical residues while providing documented evidence that cleaning procedures are being followed.

HD CAUSDET can form part of a HACCP-based cleaning and sanitation procedure, subject to your site's hazard analysis, equipment materials, validated cleaning method and chemical manufacturer's instructions.

A typical wet-cleaning process may include:

  1. Remove gross food debris and loose contamination.
  2. Pre-rinse equipment and surfaces as appropriate.
  3. Apply HD CAUSDET at the manufacturer's specified concentration using suitable foam equipment.
  4. Allow the specified contact time.
  5. Mechanically agitate where required.
  6. Thoroughly rinse to remove loosened soil and detergent residues.
  7. Inspect the cleaned surface.
  8. Apply an appropriate sanitiser/disinfectant where required by the site's hygiene procedure.
  9. Complete the required final rinse where specified.
  10. Record and verify the cleaning operation according to your site's HACCP/SSOP procedures.

Cleaning should take place before sanitisation because detergents remove soils and residues that can interfere with subsequent sanitation.

Important Material Compatibility

HD CAUSDET is not suitable for soft metals.

Before use, assess the compatibility of the detergent with the materials used in your plant and equipment. Always follow the manufacturer's technical and safety documentation and carry out appropriate compatibility checks where necessary.

Why Choose a Heavy-Duty Caustic Foam Detergent?

Heavy food-production soils can include fats, proteins, cooking residues and baked-on or carbonised material. Alkaline detergents are particularly useful for removing heavy organic contamination, with cleaning strength influenced by alkalinity.

Foam application can also help provide controlled coverage of suitable surfaces during manual or semi-automated cleaning operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HD CAUSDET?

HD CAUSDET is a high-caustic, heavy-duty foam detergent for cleaning plant and equipment in food and beverage production environments.

What types of soiling does HD CAUSDET remove?

It is designed for difficult organic soiling, fatty deposits, cooking residues and heavy carbonised deposits.

What concentration should I use?

The manufacturer's current instructions specify 3–5% v/v through suitable foam-generating equipment at ambient temperatures. Always check the current product documentation before use.

Can HD CAUSDET be used with all water types?

Yes. The product is specified as suitable for all water types.

Can it be used on soft metals?

No. HD CAUSDET is not suitable for soft metals. Check material compatibility before application.

Is HD CAUSDET a disinfectant?

HD CAUSDET is a detergent, not a substitute for a dedicated sanitiser/disinfectant. Cleaning and sanitising are separate stages of a food hygiene programme unless a product is specifically formulated and approved for both purposes.

Is it suitable for HACCP-controlled food manufacturing?

It can be incorporated into a site's documented cleaning programme, subject to your own HACCP assessment, chemical approval procedures, equipment compatibility and the manufacturer's instructions. Cleaning chemicals should be properly controlled to prevent chemical contamination of food or food-contact equipment.

What pack sizes are available?

HD CAUSDET is available in 5L, 20L, 200L and IBC formats, with bulk and pallet quantities available.

Can I obtain a Product Data Sheet or Safety Data Sheet?
