The formation of biofilms on the surfaces of dairy equipment is a critical factor that can cause severe and persistent contamination of finished products and constitutes a significant challenge to plant hygiene and maintenance.
Biofilms are a collection of microorganisms that can grow on many types of surfaces. In the dairy industry, biofilms have a base of minerals, such as calcium and iron, and organic materials. These deposits adhere to stainless steel dairy processing equipment and provide a haven for bacteria.
Microorganisms are highly protected under the residues forming the biofilm, and they will continue to grow until the overlying film is removed.
Biofilms are difficult to remove through standard cleaning and sanitising procedures.
Independent Integrity Inspection Limited utilises innovative methods and solutions for detecting biofilms on surfaces and hard-to-reach areas.
