CHEMICALS & DOSING EQUIPMENT BLUe IS THE COLOUR
There is sometimes a stigma associated with so-called ‘green’ cleaning chemicals that while they may be better for the environment, they sacrifice performance. However, Peter Alsworth, Chemical Sales Director at Winterhalter, argues the case for eco chemicals, and specifically Winterhalter’s BLUe range.
In the past, ‘eco’ chemicals have had a reputation for being second-class in terms of performance, however Winterhalter’s BLUe range of environmentally-friendly cleaning chemicals is formulated to deliver results that match or better traditional chemicals. Winterhalter’s BLUe range really packs a punch in terms of outstanding results. At the same time, each is formulated to minimise impact on the environment, using raw materials from renewable sources that are fully biodegradable.
BLUe products also set a new standard in the use of recycled and recyclable packaging. For example, where traditional trigger spray flasks would include metal and non- recyclable compounds, Winterhalter has developed special plastic elements to ensure the bottle is fully recyclable.
The BLUe range includes catering products, such as detergent, degreaser and sanitiser, as well as housekeeping chemicals like toilet cleaner and glass cleaner. The Winterhalter BLUe chemicals cost virtually the same as non-eco versions.
Training on cleaning techniques is important, as staff will use domestic cleaning products at home but they need to understand that the chemicals used in the commercial cleaning are much stronger and require careful handling. These days, concentrates that use special dispensing systems are generally used throughout the industry. Winterhalter can give advice on COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) training for staff.
Chemicals suppliers like Winterhalter produce cleaning rosters for customers and also offer advice on the use of products. Staff should be aware that general cleaning needs to be carried out throughout the day. A cleaning roster identifies equipment and gives a recommended cleaning frequency. This allows staff to get into a routine of cleaning, so it becomes part of the structure of their day.
Another problem that can’t be ignored is the waste fats, oils and grease (FOG) found in food ingredients finding their way into the drainage system. Once there, FOG can start to build up, constricting flow, causing blockages, back-ups and unpleasant odours.
To help combat this problem Winterhalter has developed a safe, long lasting and extremely efficient enzyme-based drain maintainer, A81 BLUe, which uses a blend of non- toxic, natural microbes to clear drains of FOG and other accumulated organic matter.
When A81 BLUe is dosed via the Winterhalter dosing system into a drainage system it creates a biofilm which adheres to the walls to produce a continuous and renewable supply of highly active enzymes for FOG degradation.

A81 BLUe is more effective than conventional drain cleaners/maintainers as the biofilm is highly resistant to general cleaning fluids, thus providing longer lasting protection than using high alkaline or caustic-based products, which have minimal contact time with the walls.
A81 BLUe is supplied in a concentrated form, which should be introduced into the drainage system before the main entry point of the organic waste. This can be done at the end of each working day either manually or with an automatic dispenser.
The bacterial strains in A81 BLUe are naturally occurring but should be used with care and according to the instructions. An installation of the A81 BLUe system comprises a five litre holster, a battery operated dispensing system, pipe connection and user guide.
