Chemetall adds value and increases process efficiency (Case study)



          Chemetall suggested this
          disinfectant technology, and
          the treatment began. The
          disinfectant was applied
          with a foaming device to
          thoroughly clean the washer,
          emphasizing the hard to
          reach and hidden areas.

          Chemetall provided all the equipment for the cleaning
          and the expertise to carry out the cleaning, including
          supervision and labor. Chemetall stands behind its
          technology and customer-centric orientation, and the
          changeover has successfully mitigated the fouling issue.
