The cleaning of equipment such as coffee machines, ice machines or cold rooms is provided\u00a0<\/span>by\u00a0<\/span>the HACCP plan that every food company or activity in the Horeca sector<\/span>\u00a0(within the\u00a0<\/span>european<\/span>\u00a0community)<\/span>\u00a0must have according to European regulations nr. 178 of 2002 and nr. 852 of 2004. The cleanliness of equipment is essential for customer safety, but also for the quality of the food and drinks served to consumers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For example, coffee\u00a0<\/span>machines<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>maintenance<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0<\/span>essential. As\u00a0<\/span>Capsule House<\/span><\/a>\u00a0reminds, the cleaning of the machine is necessary<\/span>\u00a0in order to obtain a good coffee<\/span>. Residues, limescale and scale can impair the quality of the coffee in terms of aroma and taste.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gruppo Portioli<\/span><\/a>\u00a0– a company producing coffee and related equipment – has developed a guide to the ordinary maintenance of the coffee machine that focuses on the frequency and the cleaning methods. In fact, it is necessary to use specific products that are odourless, tasteless and harmless to health: moreover, they should be used constantly so that they slow down the formation of new incrustations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Another important machine in the Horeca sector is the ice machine. Many believe that it is simply water in solid form, but as reported by<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>FDA<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(USA Food & Drug Administration)<\/span>\u00a0– it deserves more attention.\u00a0<\/span>Actually<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0ice<\/span>\u00a0is a food<\/span>: so,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>it must be produced and handled<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>properly<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>let\u2019s take<\/span>\u00a0the ice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in cocktails or that comes into contact with food. It is essential that it is produced\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0machines that have undergone careful filter maintenance and thorough cleaning.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Finally, an essential part of the Horeca sector’s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is the so-called “cold chain”<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Cold Chain Federation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0defines it as<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the set of\u00a0<\/span>instruments\u00a0<\/span>used to produce and store perishable food at a specific temperature, so that it is not contaminated\u00a0<\/span>by<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>biological agents that compromise its quality and its hygienic and nutritional properties.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our experience has led to the formulation of specific products for the Horeca sector: Moka, <\/span>SnowPlow<\/span>\u00a0and Greed<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/span>all suitable for the HACCP plan required for the sector’s activities<\/span>\u00a0\u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are made with<\/span>\u00a0“Food Grade” raw materials and therefore\u00a0<\/span>they are\u00a0<\/span>not dangerous if they come into contact with food. Furthermore, all products are available in\u00a0<\/span>bottle<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span>1 litre<\/span>\u00a0and in\u00a0<\/span>tanks<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>5 and 10 litres\u00a0<\/span>capacity<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

MOKA<\/a> is a chemical product specifically formulated for the maintenance and cleaning of\u00a0<\/span>coffee<\/span>\u00a0machines<\/span>\u00a0and electric kettles<\/span>. Fast and effective, MOKA enters the\u00a0<\/span>working\u00a0<\/span>cycle of these\u00a0<\/span>devices<\/span>\u00a0and removes limes<\/span>tone<\/span>, residues and mould. Used constantly, it has a preventive action on the formation of new incrustations and extends the life of the machine guaranteeing the taste of the coffee<\/span>\u00a0or tea.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For the cleaning of ice machines, we have formulated SNOWPLOW<\/a>, a chemical product with rapid and effective action that does not freeze at\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>normal machine working temperatures. SNOWPLOW removes limes<\/span>tone<\/span>, residues and mould, descaling the components (t<\/span>ank<\/span>, nozzle, coil) without damaging them and guarantees the cleaning of the whole appliance. Used regularly, it has a preventive action on the formation of new incrustations and algae.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Lastly, but not least,\u00a0<\/span>GREED<\/a> is a cleaner specifically formulated for refrigerated environments also for food use such as cells, refrigerators, freezers, wells, etc. GREED quickly and effectively removes food residues, grease, incrustations and mould, saniti<\/span>z<\/span>ing surfaces and slowing down the formation of new contaminants.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
