Why Choose ULTRAFOAM TFT for Food Factory Cleaning?

Effective cleaning is fundamental to a food manufacturing hygiene programme.

Food production environments can accumulate fat, grease, protein and other organic soils on floors, walls, equipment, production machinery and other hard surfaces.

ULTRAFOAM TFT is designed to tackle these soils using a highly caustic foam detergent formulation, while its Thin Film Technology helps the cleaning solution rinse away more readily.

This can be particularly valuable for food manufacturers looking at the efficiency of their cleaning process, where water consumption, cleaning time and chemical usage are all important considerations.

The result is a detergent designed to help hygiene teams balance:

Cleaning performance + foam coverage + rinsing efficiency + water management

Thin Film Technology – Designed to Aid Rinsing

One of the key differences between ULTRAFOAM TFT and conventional foam detergents is its Thin Film Technology.

Rather than relying solely on thick, heavy foam, ULTRAFOAM TFT produces thin-film foam characteristics designed to provide effective cleaning while helping the product rinse from treated surfaces.

For food and beverage manufacturers, this can offer an opportunity to review the rinse stage of the cleaning process and investigate potential reductions in water consumption.

This is particularly relevant where a site has:

  • High daily water consumption
  • Large production areas to rinse
  • Long cleaning cycles
  • High-pressure rinse systems
  • Multiple hygiene shifts
  • Significant wastewater volumes
  • Sustainability or water-reduction targets
  • Rising water and wastewater costs

Actual water savings will depend on the cleaning system, equipment, application method, soil loading, operator technique and site-specific cleaning procedure.

Water Consumption & Sustainable Food Manufacturing

Water is an important resource in food manufacturing, particularly in operations requiring frequent wet cleaning.

Where a production site has substantial areas to clean and rinse every day, even relatively small changes to cleaning efficiency can potentially have a significant impact on total water consumption.

ULTRAFOAM TFT's Thin Film Technology is designed specifically to aid rinsing and reduce water consumption during the rinse stage.

This makes it particularly interesting for food manufacturers working towards:

  • Water-reduction targets
  • Sustainability objectives
  • Reduced wastewater generation
  • Lower cleaning costs
  • More efficient hygiene operations
  • Improved cleaning-cycle efficiency

The FSA's research and guidance recognises that water quality and hardness can influence cleaning chemistry and detergent performance, so understanding the site's water supply is an important part of developing an effective cleaning programme.

Important: Water savings should be established through site-specific trials or validation rather than assumed. Actual results will vary depending on equipment, rinse pressure, flow rate, surface area, soil load and operator procedure.

ULTRAFOAM TFT for Hygiene Managers

Hygiene managers are increasingly expected to look beyond whether a chemical simply “cleans”.

A modern cleaning programme may also need to consider:

  • Cleaning effectiveness
  • Foam coverage
  • Contact time
  • Rinse efficiency
  • Water consumption
  • Chemical concentration
  • Labour requirements
  • Cleaning equipment
  • Wastewater volumes
  • Surface compatibility
  • Operator safety
  • COSHH requirements
  • Cleaning verification
  • Overall cleaning cost

ULTRAFOAM TFT is particularly relevant where a site wants to investigate rinse-water reduction without simply reducing the effectiveness of the cleaning stage.

ULTRAFOAM TFT for Technical Managers

For Technical Managers and Food Safety Managers, detergent selection is part of the wider validated cleaning and hygiene programme.

ULTRAFOAM TFT can be considered where a site is reviewing:

Cleaning chemical performance → application → contact time → soil removal → rinsing → verification

The product should always be evaluated against the specific soils, surfaces, equipment and cleaning procedures used at the site.

The current product information specifies use at 3–5% v/v through suitable foam-generating equipment at ambient temperatures.

For site validation, cleaning teams should establish the appropriate concentration, application method, contact time, temperature and rinsing procedure for their particular process.

Recommended Use

Use ULTRAFOAM TFT at 3–5% v/v through suitable foam-generating equipment at ambient temperatures.

Always refer to the current Product Data Sheet, Safety Data Sheet and site-specific cleaning procedure before use.

The correct working concentration and application procedure should be established for the particular cleaning application and soil loading.

Cleaning Verification & Alkalinity Testing

Consistent chemical concentration can be an important part of maintaining a repeatable cleaning process.

SOS Hygiene offers Hi/Low Alkalinity Test Kit products that can be used to assess cleaning solution alkalinity.

Available reagents include:

  • KS135-PA1 Phenolphthalein Indicator
  • KS133 ALK4 Alkalinity LR Titrant

Ask SOS Hygiene about alkalinity testing and chemical concentration monitoring for your cleaning programme.

Suitable for All Water Types

ULTRAFOAM TFT is stated to be suitable for all water types, making it suitable for consideration across food and beverage manufacturing sites with different water characteristics.

Water hardness can influence cleaning performance and detergent requirements, so this can be an important consideration when selecting cleaning chemicals for a new production site or reviewing an existing hygiene programme.

COSHH, Safety & Chemical Handling

ULTRAFOAM TFT is a professional caustic cleaning chemical and must be handled in accordance with the current Safety Data Sheet, product instructions and site COSHH assessment.

HSE states that employers must assess the risks associated with hazardous substances and implement appropriate measures covering areas including storage, handling, dilution, disposal and worker exposure.

The SDS should be obtained and reviewed before use.
