Slaughterhouse cleaning
Slaughterhouse cleaning is essential due to the importance of hygiene and preventing the outbreak of diseases. By sanitizing and removing reisidues such as blood, proteins and fats, the spreading of microbial growth can be prevented. Ikeuchi offers several spray nozzle cleaning sollutions for alughter houses.
High-pressure pre-rinse cleaning
When pre-rinsing the conveyor belt, its recommended to use hot water around 40-55°C at a pressure of 10-20 bar. Our high pressure spray nozzles have a ceramic orifice which make them extremely wear resistant and durable. A multi-nozzle arrangement ensures uniform spray distribution across the entire spray width of the conveyor belt.
Foam cleaning
Foam cleaning is very efficient for removing sticky residues such as heavy fat and protein contamination. Foam cleaning is more efficient as it clings to surfaces and give the cleaning detergent more time to work and break down bacteria. In addition, foam cleaning can help economize on water use. AWVV is a foam spray nozzle which was designed for cleaning in the food industry.
Conveyor belt disinfection
Conveyor belt disinfection is an important step in the final cleaning process to prevent the spread of spathogenic microorganisms that compromise food safety. Research has shown that the highest biofilm removal was achieved by disinfection with chlorinated alkaline agents and alcohol (Moazzami, 2026). Ceramic disinfection spray nozzles are ideal for this purpose due to their high resistance to chemicals.
Automatic tank cleaning in slaughter houses
Save time on manual cleaning of tanks with an automatic tank cleaner. For hard to remove residue such as in fat and oil collection tanks or blood tanks, we recommend a rotating tank cleaner such as RJ.
Carcass chilling
Carcass chilling is an effective way to prevent shrinkage and weight loss of meat. In addition, the chilling process can lead to softer fat at the time of boning. The recommended chilling time depends on the type of meat. For beef, the chilling time is 6 hours with a spray interval of 30 minutes while for pigs it is up to 11 hours with a spray interval of only 15 minutes. For this system, we recommend a droplet size between 30 – 300 µm in order to prevent water running down the carcass surface.
