Cleaning Techniques

Cleaning is an essential and integral part of the production process With all production processes both equipment and surfaces become contaminated with residues, foreign bodies and microbial contamination. This contamination may lead to deterioration in product quality and eventually an unacceptable product. The removal of these contaminants, soil, is the process of cleaning. Cleaning should always be considered an essential and integral part of the production process. Holchem work closely with a number of organisations and companies to ensure that we are fully informed of current and imminent legislation, codes of practice, best practice guidelines, new raw materials, new equipment and application systems. This ensures we trade legally and responsibly and continue the non-stop development of our products and services. The cleaning methodology and management controls must be appropriate to the process and the risks to the product. Development of the cleaning management system involves:
Agreeing standards.
Methodology developed to meet standard required and then validated.
Scheduling created as a record of the validated methodology.
Training carried out against schedule.
Controls put in place to ensure methodology followed.
Periodic review and review on change.
