Stamford, Conn. – September 4, 2024 - As the pet food industry continues to grow, so do the challenges faced by manufacturers. Maintaining the cleanliness and safety of equipment and facilities are paramount to success in this industry, and Goodway Technologies is highlighting the benefits of using dry steam technology for cleaning and maintenance on equipment and various surfaces within a facility.

Prevents Contamination

One major benefit of using dry steam and cleaning equipment is that it helps prevent microbial contamination. Pet food processing and operations require strict hygiene standards, and using chemicals can leave behind harmful residues and damage equipment. On the other hand, dry steam can penetrate every nook and cranny of equipment, effectively sanitizing surfaces and equipment without leaving any residue behind.

Offers Sustainability

It’s an eco-friendly and effective solution for routine or deep cleaning. It’s particularly beneficial in dry environments where water is avoided because it produces as little as 5% moisture content. This steam is superheated and pressurized to provide powerful cleaning and sanitizing properties that remove stubborn residue from even the smallest crevices.

Eliminates Harsh Chemicals

Using water vapor to clean and sanitize, dry steam offers a robust solution in spaces where chemical cleaning is not preferred. Dry steam cleaning also eliminates concerns about using harsh chemicals that may impact employee safety and environmental health. The high temperatures can kill microorganisms and remove allergens from the surface on contact, leaving equipment dry and ready for immediate use. Additionally, mold and various bacteria are instantly eradicated, reducing microorganism counts and allergens.

Reduces Downtime

Another advantage of using dry steam and cleaning equipment is that it increases efficiency and reduces downtime. Traditional cleaning methods can be time-consuming and require equipment to be taken offline for extended periods of time. However, dry steam equipment can be used quickly and effectively, allowing for shorter cleaning times and less downtime.

“Dry steam cleaning has gained popularity within the food and beverage industry when it comes to cleaning and sanitizing,” said Evan Reyes, Goodway Technologies Global Director of Sales, Sanitation Division. “Dry steam is built for dry-clean only environments. There is more pressure on facility and maintenance personnel to be proactive in preventing any possible risks, and dry steam cleaning can be an effective solution that doesn’t require the labor or downtime necessary for other solutions.”

Goodway works closely with its customers to incorporate dry steam cleaning into its overall sanitation program. Every facility is unique, so Goodway’s experts help find the most appropriate dry steam solution for the job. From industrial dry steam belt cleaning solutions to heavy-duty dry steam cleaners, it’s critical to invest in the right solution for the task at hand to get the best results.
