Cleaning and disinfection in the food industry

Cleaning and disinfection in the food industry using industrial ultrasonic machines, defoaming systems, or flow cells. Compliance with regulations such as HACCP, European health regulations, and IFS and BRC standards requires not only efficiency but also consistency, precision, and traceability. This is where ultrasonic technology is positioned as an advanced tool for cleaning and disinfecting with maximum efficiency without compromising processes or materials.

At DCM Ultrasonic, we develop complete solutions for cleaning and disinfection in the food industry, including ultrasonic cleaning machines, defoaming systems for bottling lines, and ultrasonic flow cells for fluid treatment.
 

Ultrasonic Cleaning in the Food Industry

Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves to generate cavitation in a fluid. This cavitation produces millions of microbubbles that collapse with force, evenly dislodging organic and inorganic residues from surfaces, even in difficult areas such as grooves, perforations, or interiors.

This type of cleaning not only removes grease, sugars, protein residues, molds, and biofilms, but also disinfects, breaking down the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, eliminating the microbiological load without the need for harsh chemicals.
 

Our cleaning machines for the food industry

At DCM Ultrasonic, we manufacture ultrasonic cleaning equipment adapted to the hygienic and sanitary requirements of the food industry. Our machines are designed in stainless steel, with heavy-duty tanks, particle filters, grease separators, and thermal control systems to ensure continuous and verifiable cleaning.

MACHINES FOR CLEANING AND DISINFECTING UTENSILS AND PARTS 

What can be cleaned with our machines in the food industry?

• Filling and bottling nozzles
• Molds, tools, and blades
• CIP/SIP line components
• Removable machine parts
• Grids, trays, and filters
• Pipes, valves, and removable pumps
• Laboratory and microbiological analysis equipment

These machines are easily integrated into production lines or laboratories and allow for automatic, safe cleaning without direct human intervention, reducing errors and improving traceability.













 

Defoaming System

One of the main problems in beverage production lines is the formation of foam during packaging. At DCM Ultrasonic, we have developed an innovative technology based on ultrasonic defoaming systems, which apply sound energy precisely to break up foam in real time.

This system is installed on the filling line (before capping) and acts directly on the neck of the bottle or container without physical contact, eliminating foam instantly and increasing process efficiency. Its use reduces losses, improves line hygiene, and prevents overfills or defective seals.

Ideal for:

• Bottling lines for beer, juices, dairy products, and carbonated water
• Production of sauces, creams, syrups, and liquid foods
• Reduction of chemical antifoam additives

FOAM CONTROL SYSTEM 

Fluid treatment with ultrasonic flow cells

Another key point in the food industry is the treatment of liquids such as juices, oils, wines, sauces, or plant-based milks. With our ultrasonic flow cells, controlled cavitation waves can be applied directly to the moving fluid, improving its properties without altering its composition.

Advantages of ultrasonic fluid treatment in food:

• Improved microbiological stability (non-thermal disinfection)
• Homogenization of complex mixtures
• Reduction of particles and sediments
• Intensification of flavors and aromas
• Reduction of settling or settling times
• Support in processes such as extraction, emulsification, or fermentation

DCM Ultrasonic flow cells are designed with food-safe materials (AISI 316L steel, food-grade seals) and allow direct integration with continuous production systems, without altering the flow or interrupting the process.
