Spray disinfection in bread cooling rooms

Disinfection of bread cooling room

A Japanese bread bakery was concerned about hygiene measures in their bread cooling room. The cooling room is a room where baked bread is temporarily stored until it has cooled down and is easy to cut. It is important to cool down bread because its full of steam after coming out of the oven. If not cooled down properly, it can collapse when being cut or develop a gummy-like structure.

The problems the customer was facing

As mentioned, the industrial bakery was concerned about hygiene measures in their bread cooling room. In this cooling room, cold air is sent in from a duct in the ceiling. However, when a large amount of baked bread is lined up inside, the room temperature rises and creates an environment that is conducive to the growth of bacteria. The challenge was how to prevent the growth of bacteria amid the inevitable rise in temperature.

System used for this application

Non-wetting

Ultra-fine mist

Resistance to chemicals

BIM pneumatic spray nozzle

Our BIM pneumatic spray nozzle is ideal for disinfection purposes due to its ultra-fine atomization

The solution

After inspecting the site and situation, Ikeuchi Japan proposed a system that uses a pneumatic spray nozzle to spray an alcohol disinfectant inside the duct leading to the cooling room, and then uses the airflow to disinfect the entire cooling room.

Without directly spraying inside the cooling chamber, the entire space is indirectly disinfected with alcohol, suppressing the growth of bacteria. In addition, the ultra fine mist ensures that the inside of the duct does not get wet.

For this application, Ikeuchi Japan selected the BIM spraying system. BIM is known for its small droplet size between 20 – 100 μm and is commonly used for disinfection, moisturization and deodorization purposes.

The result

After installing the disinfection solution in the air duct of the bread cooling chamber, the bakery no longer had to worry about the risk of mold. The company was pleased with the solution and considers to implement it at other locations as well.

*Spraying may not be feasible depending on the alcohol concentration or other conditions. For details, please contact your IKEUCHI representative.”
