Food Processing Cleaning Chemicals

Evochem manufactures food processing cleaning chemicals at its plant in Anekal, Bengaluru, and supplies them in bulk to food and beverage producers across India. The range covers every stage of a food plant sanitation programme: removing fats, proteins and scale, cleaning closed circuits, and sanitising food-contact surfaces before production restarts.

Each product comes with clear dilution guidance and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and our technical team helps you choose the right chemistry for your soils, water hardness and equipment.

Food industry cleaning chemicals for every type of soil

Food plants deal with very different soils. Animal fat and protein in meat, poultry and seafood processing, milk residues and milkstone in dairies, sugars in beverage lines, and mineral scale wherever the water is hard. A single general-purpose cleaner rarely handles all of them, so the range is split by job.

• Alkaline detergents to break down fats, oils and proteins.

• Acidic detergents to remove scale, mineral deposits and inorganic soils.

• Chlorinated alkaline cleaners that clean and sanitise in one step.

• Sanitisers based on quaternary ammonium, peracetic acid or alcohol for pre-cleaned surfaces.

Open plant cleaning: foam cleaners for floors, walls and equipment

High-foaming detergents cling to vertical surfaces, conveyors and machine frames, which gives the chemistry time to work before rinsing. Choose the alkaline, acidic or chlorinated version according to the soil.

• Alkalox Foam – High Foaming Alkaline Detergent: High-foaming alkaline detergent engineered with advanced surfactant blends to create a high foam that clings to surfaces. Ideal for use in the food industry, including dairies, meat processing plants, and preserved food facilities. Tackles tough, industry-specific soils. Dilution: 2% to 5% (20 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Clastox Foam – High Foaming Alkaline Detergent: High-foaming alkaline detergent with advanced surfactants for high foam production. Excels at removing food industry soils like dairy, meat, and preserved foods due to its excellent wetting, chelating, and degreasing properties. Dilution: 2% to 5% (20-50 ml per 1 liter of water) depending on soil level.

• Acidox Foam – High Foaming Acidic Detergent: Powerful, high-foaming acidic detergent specifically formulated to meet the stringent cleaning requirements of the food and beverage industry. Effectively removes scales, particulate matter, and inorganic soils. Dilution: 2% to 5% (20 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Chlorox Foam – Chlorinated Alkaline Cleaner: Chlorinated alkaline cleaner with high chlorine concentration, ideal for daily cleaning in the food industry. Its exceptional foaming ability effectively removes various soils in food processing, meat, dairy, and vegetable processing. Functions as a 2-in-1 cleaner and sanitizer. Dilution: 1% to 5% (10 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Neutrox Foam – Multipurpose Detergent: Versatile, colorless, odorless, and multi-purpose detergent that effectively cleans various surfaces in food processing industries, dairies, poultry, and more. Its alkali-free formulation provides a convenient solution for many general cleaning applications like floors, walls, utensils, and equipment. Dilution: 2% to 5% (20 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

Clean-in-place (CIP) and heavy-duty alkaline cleaning

For pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers and bottle washers, low-foaming alkaline detergents penetrate milk residues and animal fats and resist hard-water scaling. See our CIP cleaning chemicals page for circuit-level guidance.

• Clastox 50 – High Performance Alkaline Detergent: Potent alkaline liquid detergent specially engineered for heavy-duty cleaning. Provides exceptional scale prevention and hard water resistance while effectively penetrating into stubborn soils, animal fats, and milk residues. Dilution: 0.5% to 5% (5 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Clastox Plus – Low Foaming Heavy Duty Alkaline Detergent: Potent alkaline liquid detergent specially engineered to meet the rigorous demands of food processing plants. Its advanced detergent systems not only penetrate deeply into stubborn soils, animal fats, and milk residues, but also provide exceptional scale prevention and hard water resistance, ensuring that your cleaning operation runs smoothly and efficiently. Designed for heavy-duty applications. Dilution: 0.5% to 5% (5 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

Food plant sanitation: sanitisers for food-contact surfaces

Sanitising is a separate step from cleaning. These products are designed for surfaces that have already been cleaned, to reduce bacteria, fungi and viruses before production restarts.

• Sanix Peraxy – Paracetic Acid Based Sanitizer: Clear liquid oxidizing sanitizer for the food industry, formulated with peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid. Eliminates a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, spores, and viruses, ensuring high-level sanitation for pre-cleaned surfaces. Dilution: 0.1% to 3% v/v depending on the volume.

• Sanix Quat – Broad Spectrum Sanitizer: Clear, liquid quaternary ammonium salt-based sanitizer for the food industry. It effectively sanitizes pre-cleaned surfaces and contaminated clothes, rapidly eliminating harmful microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This solution is essential for maintaining a safe and hygienic food production environment Dilution: 0.1% to 0.5% (1 ml to 5 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Sanix Duo – High Performance Cleaner cum Sanitizer: Versatile detergent cum sanitizer for food, beverage, and dairy industries. Combines quaternary ammonium biocides, surfactants, and sequestering agents for exceptional cleaning and antibacterial efficacy, even in hard water. Removes tough soils and kills a broad spectrum of bacteria. Dilution: 2% to 5% (20 ml to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) depending on soil.

• Sanixol – Alcohol-Based Sanitizer: Alcohol-based sanitizer formulated in combination with Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC) for fast-acting, residue-free sanitization of food processing surfaces. Its unique formulation provides rapid sanitization, essential for food safety and hygiene, with broad-spectrum activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, eliminating microorganisms without the need for rinsing.
