A Foam Cleaning Machine Designed Specifically for Large-Scale Meat Processing Plants

Large-scale meat processing plants face demanding cleaning challenges every day. From cutting and deboning areas to meat conveyors, processing equipment, floors, walls, and drainage systems, different surfaces can accumulate meat fat, protein residues, and mineral deposits. Without a well-designed cleaning procedure, these contaminants can make sanitation more difficult and increase the risk of cross-contamination.
For meat processing company an effective cleaning system needs to do more than spray water onto surfaces. It should support the systematic application of cleaning chemicals, help operators manage different types of soil, and make routine cleaning and sanitising more consistent.
WONE EFC-325H is a fixed foam cleaning machine designed for open-area cleaning in food processing plants, including large-scale meat processing facilities. Integrating water rinsing, alkaline foam, acidic foam, and disinfectant spraying into one machine, it provides a practical solution for different stages of daily cleaning.

Why Do Large-Scale Meat Processing Plants Need a Dedicated Foam Cleaning Machine?

Meat processing environments generate several types of contamination during production.
Animal fat and grease: Cutting, trimming, grinding, and other meat processing operations can leave greasy residues on equipment surfaces, worktables, conveyors, and floors. These organic soils require suitable cleaning agents rather than water alone.
Protein and meat residues:
  • Small particles and protein deposits can accumulate around processing equipment, joints, and hard-to-reach areas. If residues remain after cleaning, they can compromise the effectiveness of subsequent sanitation procedures.
Mineral deposits:
  • Depending on the water supply, cleaning chemicals, and production processes, mineral scale may gradually accumulate on certain surfaces. These deposits may require an acidic cleaning stage.
Large cleaning areas:
  • A large meat processing plant may contain multiple production zones, long conveyor systems, extensive floor areas, and numerous equipment surfaces. Cleaning teams need an organized way to apply water and different chemical solutions across designated areas.
A dedicated foam cleaning machine helps operators carry out these cleaning stages through a more structured process. Foam can cling to suitable vertical and horizontal surfaces, helping extend the contact time of the cleaning solution when used according to the chemical manufacturer's instructions.
For facilities that regularly deal with both greasy residues and mineral deposits, having access to alkaline and acidic foam functions is particularly useful.

Meet WONE EFC-325H: A Fixed Foam Cleaning Machine for Food Factories

WONE EFC-325H is a fixed foam cleaning machine developed for open-area cleaning in food processing facilities. Unlike a portable cleaning unit that needs to be moved between different locations, a fixed installation can serve designated cleaning areas according to the plant's layout and cleaning requirements. It is with 25 meters horse, covering a large cleaning area.
The EFC-325H integrates four functions into one machine:
  • High-pressure water rinsing
  • Alkaline foam application
  • Acidic foam application
  • Disinfectant spraying
4 functions in 1 foam cleaning machine
By combining these functions, the machine allows cleaning teams to switch between different cleaning operations without relying on separate standalone machines for every function.
The EFC-325H is also suitable for other food processing environments, such as seafood processing plants, bakeries, and central kitchens, where open-area equipment and facility cleaning are essential parts of daily hygiene management.

Four Functions for Different Meat Processing Cleaning Requirements

High-Pressure Water Rinsing: Remove Loose Contamination

Water rinsing is an important stage in a structured cleaning procedure. It can help remove loose food residues and wash away cleaning agents after their required contact time.
In meat processing plants, operators may use the rinsing function on suitable equipment exteriors, work surfaces, floors, and other washable areas. The appropriate pressure and spraying method should be selected according to the surface, equipment manufacturer's recommendations, and the plant's sanitation procedures.
High-pressure water should not automatically be used everywhere. Excessive pressure can generate aerosols and spread contamination, so operators should select the appropriate method for each cleaning zone.

Alkaline Foam: Address Fat, Grease, and Organic Residues

Alkaline foam is particularly relevant to meat processing because fats, oils, and protein-containing soils are common in these environments.
The EFC-325H can apply alkaline foam to suitable surfaces, helping the cleaning solution remain in contact with the target area. Operators can then allow the specified contact time, perform additional scrubbing where necessary, and rinse according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
For plants processing fatty cuts of meat or operating grinding and trimming equipment, alkaline foam can be an important component of the routine cleaning procedure.

Acidic Foam: Help Remove Mineral Deposits

Alkaline cleaners and acidic cleaners serve different purposes. While alkaline products are commonly selected for organic soils, acidic cleaners can help remove mineral deposits and scale.
The acidic foam function of the EFC-325H gives cleaning teams another option when a plant's sanitation plan calls for periodic descaling or the removal of suitable inorganic deposits.
Acidic cleaning should be applied only to compatible surfaces and in accordance with the chemical manufacturer's instructions. Operators should never mix acidic and alkaline cleaning products directly.

Disinfectant Spraying: Support the Final Sanitation Stage

Cleaning and disinfection are related but distinct processes. Removing visible soil first helps prepare a surface for effective disinfection.
The EFC-325H provides a dedicated disinfectant spraying function for use within the plant's approved sanitation procedure. Operators must use an appropriate disinfectant at the specified concentration and contact time, following its label and any required rinsing instructions.
Disinfectant application does not replace thorough cleaning, inspection, or microbiological verification where required.

How Can EFC-325H Fit into a Meat Plant's Daily Cleaning Procedure?

A typical cleaning sequence for suitable open processing areas may include the following steps:
Step 1: Prepare the cleaning area. Stop production as required, remove exposed products, protect sensitive electrical components, and follow the plant's safety and lockout procedures.
Step 2: Remove visible meat residues. Collect loose scraps and other substantial debris before rinsing to reduce unnecessary spreading.
Step 3: Rinse and apply alkaline foam. Use an appropriate rinsing method, then apply alkaline foam to compatible surfaces where organic soil removal is required.
Step 4: Allow the prescribed contact time. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions. Scrub stubborn residues where necessary, and do not allow foam to dry on surfaces unless the product instructions specifically permit it.
Step 5: Rinse thoroughly. Remove detergent and loosened soil before moving to the next cleaning stage.
Step 6: Apply acidic foam when required. Use it as a separate, planned cleaning stage for compatible surfaces with mineral deposits. Rinse and separate chemical applications as instructed.
Step 7: Disinfect and verify. Apply the approved disinfectant according to its instructions, complete any required final rinse, inspect the area, and document the results under the plant's sanitation program.
Not every surface requires every function during every cleaning cycle. The appropriate sequence and frequency depend on the type of soil, surface material, production activity, and documented hygiene requirements.

Why Choose a Fixed Foam Cleaning Machine for a Large Meat Processing Facility?

For a large plant, selecting a foam cleaning machine is not simply a matter of choosing a machine with multiple functions. The installation must fit the actual production environment.
A fixed machine such as the WONE EFC-325H can offer several practical advantages.
One integrated system: Water rinsing, alkaline foam, acidic foam, and disinfectant spraying are available through one machine, supporting a coordinated approach to different cleaning tasks.
A planned cleaning layout: Fixed installation allows the cleaning system to be incorporated into the plant's facility design and designated cleaning zones.
Support for recurring sanitation routines: Operators can use the same equipment to carry out defined cleaning stages, helping standardize procedures when combined with staff training and documented work instructions.
Versatility across open processing areas: The machine can support the cleaning of suitable floors, walls, equipment exteriors, conveyors, and other washable surfaces, subject to material compatibility and the plant's cleaning plan.
Actual cleaning efficiency depends on the installation layout, hose length, water supply, detergent selection, operator practices, and the degree of contamination. A fixed system should therefore be selected based on the facility's real operating requirements rather than machine functions alone.
