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 the main stages 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 for daily cleaning.
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, chlorinated or alkali-free version according to the soil and the surface.
Alkalox FoamHigh Foaming Alkaline DetergentHigh-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.
Clastox FoamHigh Foaming Alkaline DetergentHigh-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.
Acidox FoamHigh Foaming Acidic DetergentPowerful, 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.
Chlorox FoamChlorinated Alkaline CleanerChlorinated 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.
Neutrox FoamMultipurpose DetergentVersatile, 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.
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. The range does not include an acid CIP detergent, so where your circuit needs an acid step for scale or milkstone, ask our technical team to recommend one that matches your equipment.
Clastox 50High Performance Alkaline DetergentPotent 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.
Clastox PlusLow Foaming Heavy Duty Alkaline DetergentPotent 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.
Food plant sanitation: sanitisers for food-contact surfaces
Sanitising is a separate step from cleaning. These products are for surfaces that have already been cleaned and rinsed, to reduce microorganisms before production restarts. Sanix Duo combines a detergent with a quaternary ammonium sanitiser for lighter soils, while Sanixol is a ready-to-use alcohol-based product that does not need rinsing.
Sanix PeraxyPeracetic Acid Based SanitizerClear 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.
Sanix QuatBroad Spectrum SanitizerClear, 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
Sanix DuoHigh Performance Cleaner cum SanitizerVersatile 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.
SanixolAlcohol-Based SanitizerAlcohol-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.
Beverage, brewery and packaged food lines
Beverage and bottling plants mainly deal with sugars, product residues and hard-water scale on fillers, conveyors and bottle washers. Breweries and distilleries add organic deposits in vessels and transfer lines. Packaged and preserved food units see a mix of oils, starches and spices on mixers, kettles and packing tables.
In each case the pattern is the same: an alkaline detergent for organic soil, an acidic foam where scale builds up on open surfaces, a rinse, then a sanitiser on the cleaned surface. Share your line layout and water analysis and we will suggest a sequence and dilutions.
Food factory hygiene for people
Hand hygiene at line entry points is part of every food safety plan. The Lush range covers colourless, perfume-free handwash and hand sanitiser for production and packing staff.
Lush CareGeneral Hand WashSpecifically formulated for personnel working in processing plants, Pharmaceutical facilities, hospitality and food service industries. Its colorless, perfume-free formulation makes it ideal for frequent hand washing.

Frequently asked questions
What cleaning chemicals are used in food processing plants?
Most food plants use alkaline detergents for fats and proteins, acidic detergents for scale and mineral deposits, and sanitisers for pre-cleaned food-contact surfaces. Chlorinated alkaline cleaners can combine cleaning and sanitising for daily cleaning. Evochem supplies alkaline products in foam and low-foam versions and an acidic foam cleaner for open surfaces.
What is the difference between cleaning and sanitising in a food plant?
Cleaning removes visible soil such as fat, protein, sugar and scale. Sanitising reduces microorganisms on a surface that is already clean. Sanitisers work poorly on dirty surfaces, so the usual sequence is pre-rinse, clean, rinse, then sanitise.
Which Evochem products are suitable for dairy plants?
Alkalox Foam and Clastox Foam handle open-plant cleaning, Clastox 50 and Clastox Plus are heavy-duty alkaline detergents for milk residues and CIP circuits, and Sanix Peraxy or Sanix Quat are used to sanitise pre-cleaned surfaces. For an acid CIP step, ask our technical team.
