Poultry and meat processing plants produce some of the heaviest soils in the food industry: animal fat, protein, blood and tissue on conveyors, evisceration lines, cutting tables, chillers and floors. The soil load is high every shift, so the cleaning programme has to be fast, repeatable and easy for the sanitation crew to follow.
Evochem supplies poultry processing cleaning chemicals to processing plants, not farms. The range below covers foam cleaning of equipment and structures, heavy-duty alkaline soaking, sanitising, floors and drains, and hand hygiene for line staff.
Foam cleaning of conveyors, evisceration areas and cutting rooms
After a dry clean-up and pre-rinse, foam is applied to conveyors, shackle lines, machine frames, walls and floors. The foam clings to vertical and overhead surfaces and gives the alkaline chemistry time to break down fat and protein before rinsing. Clastox Foam and Alkalox Foam are high-foaming alkaline detergents for these soils. Neutrox Foam is an alkali-free option for general cleaning of utensils, walls and less soiled areas.
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.
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.
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.
Chlorinated alkaline daily clean and scale control
Chlorox Foam is a chlorinated alkaline cleaner for daily cleaning in meat and poultry plants, and works as a 2-in-1 cleaner and sanitiser. It is useful where blood and protein stains build up on surfaces. Where hard water or scalding leaves mineral deposits on stainless steel and tiles, Acidox Foam removes scale and inorganic soils on open surfaces. Do not mix chlorinated and acidic products; rinse thoroughly between them.
Crates, trays, hooks and dismantled parts can be soaked or washed in a heavy-duty alkaline detergent such as Clastox Plus, which penetrates animal fats.
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.
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.
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.
Sanitising after cleaning
Once surfaces are clean and rinsed, a sanitiser reduces microorganisms before production restarts. Sanix Peraxy, based on peracetic acid, and Sanix Quat, based on quaternary ammonium, are used on pre-cleaned food-contact surfaces. Sanixol is ready to use and does not need rinsing, which suits knives, small tools and touch points between cleans. Sanix Duo cleans and sanitises lightly soiled surfaces in one step.
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
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.
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.
Floors, drains and loading areas
Fat that reaches the drains hardens into sludge and causes odour and slow drainage. Blaze Drain is a non-acidic drain maintainer that breaks down grease and fat build-up. For dispatch bays, loading docks and plant-room floors with oil and grease from vehicles and machinery, Novel OGR is a low-foam floor cleaner.
Blaze DrainLiquid Drain CleanerNon-acidic drain cleaner and maintainer. This liquid formula effectively breaks down sludge build-up caused by grease, fats, paper, tobacco, soap scum, toothpaste, and more, thus preventing slow-flowing drains and clogs. Regular use of Blaze Drain ensures the optimal functioning of your drains without the harshness of corrosive acids.

This powerful cleaning solution provides rapid, high-emulsifying action, breaking down stubborn stains and spills quickly and effectively. Its efficient cleaning properties make Novel OGR an ideal choice for busy commercial environments such as restaurants, workshops, and factories, where a low-foam solution is desired for safety and ease of use.
Hand hygiene and boot-wash stations
Staff entering production should wash hands with a colourless, perfume-free handwash, then use a hand sanitiser. At boot-wash points, boots should be cleaned of fat and debris before any sanitising step; ask our technical team which product and dilution suits your boot-wash or foot-dip set-up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the usual cleaning sequence in a poultry processing plant?
Dry clean-up to remove solids, pre-rinse, foam with an alkaline or chlorinated alkaline cleaner, rinse, then sanitise the cleaned surfaces. Acid cleaning is added periodically where scale builds up.
Is Chlorox Foam a sanitiser as well as a cleaner?
Chlorox Foam is a chlorinated alkaline cleaner that functions as a 2-in-1 cleaner and sanitiser for daily cleaning. Many plants still apply a separate sanitiser on food-contact surfaces after cleaning.
Do you supply chemicals for poultry farms?
This range is for processing plants: slaughter, cutting, packing and cold rooms. For farm or livestock applications, contact our team before ordering.
How do we stop drains from blocking with fat?
Remove solids before washing down, and use a drain maintainer such as Blaze Drain regularly to break down grease and fat sludge.
