Plants · Dairy · Farm to dispatch
Complete dairy hygiene chemistry, farm to dispatch.
Milk moves in one direction, and hygiene risk travels with it. Every zone from the milk analyser to the packing hall has its own soil, metal and time pressure. So each one gets its own chemistry, equipment and protocol, not one general-purpose cleaner.

Chemistry care zonesEquipment and programme
The value case
Why formulated chemistry beats commodity soda and acid
| Parameter | Commodity soda and acid | INNOVA formulated |
|---|---|---|
| Surface tension | High: poor surface contact | Low: wets and lifts soil |
| Rinsability | Poor: high water use | High: fewer rinse cycles |
| Compliance & impurities | Difficult to control | Controlled, with MSDS and CoA per batch |
| Cleaning downtime | Higher: repeat cleans | Lower: optimised cycles |
| Water, energy & ETP load | Higher | Lower across the cycle |
Food safety
Low-residue, rinsable formulations for hygiene compliance.
Sustainability
Surfactant actives cut water and effluent load.
Efficiency
Shorter CIP cycles, less downtime per shift.
Cost of hygiene
Lower dosing, fewer re-cleans per litre processed.
Care zone 01 of 07
Milk analyser care
Ultrasonic and infra-red milk analysers are precision instruments. Residual fat, protein and mineral scale in the measuring cell drift the readings that decide what a farmer is paid.
- Lacto DailyMild alkaline wash. Removes milk fat, protein and other organic matter that builds up during a day of testing.100 mL
- Lacto WeeklyAcidic weekly wash. Deep-cleans ultrasonic milk analysers such as Lactoscan and Ekomilk.100 mL
Accuracy
Fat and SNF readings stay within OEM tolerance across shifts.
Sensor life
Longer service life for ultrasonic and IR cells.
Farmer trust
Consistent readings across MCCs, and no payment disputes.
Care zone 02 of 07
Milk collection care · BMC, MCC and cans
Raw milk quality is decided at the collection point. Scale in the chiller, milkstone in the pipeline and residue in the can start the soil load. That lowers MBRT and milk quality, especially where operators are untrained.
Sub-zone A
Sub-zone BMCC · chiller and silo
Chiller plates, dump-tank pipeline, silo internals and bends where soil concentrates. CIP-grade detergent plus acid descaling on plates, then cold disinfection.
Sub-zone CCans and crates
Aluminium, plastic and stainless returnables. Soft-metal-safe alkaline chemistry that clears residue and odour without pitting or blackening.
INNOVA CanClean · INNOVA CrateWash · INNOVA Hypo · INNOVA PAA15
Challenges we address at MCC and BMC
- Milk soil and odour sticking in cans
- Heavy scale in can scrubbers and chillers
- Skin irritation from handling caustic
- Untrained labour who need a simple SOP
- No hot water for disinfection
- Soil left in pipelines and bends
Care zone 03 of 07
Tanker hygiene care
Every hour a tanker sits at the CIP bay is an hour off its route. But a rushed clean carries milk soil into the next load. The answer is fast, thorough cleaning and, where possible, no-rinse cold sanitising.
Up to 30 to 40% less CIP time
- INNOVA CIP 50Formulated alkaline cleaner for organic and inorganic dairy soil and milkstone on interior walls, spray-ball feed and outlet valves.5 / 30 kg

Care zone 05 of 07
Packing hall care
The last hygiene barrier before a customer opens the pack. Shelf-life failures and coliform counts trace back here. So CIP inside the filler, OPC outside it and environmental hygiene overhead all run together.
Application A
Filler CIP
Inside pouch, pack and bottle fillers. Aseptic equipment needs oxidiser sanitising and no chlorinated residue.
- INNOVA HP35 aseptic sanitising
- INNOVA PAA15 no-rinse between shifts
- INNOVA CIP 50 CIP
Application B
OPC and equipment
Filler exteriors, conveyor belts, exposed line surfaces, cutting tools and VAT machines, foam-applied for contact time.
- INNOVA ChloroFoam heavy soil break
- INNOVA CrateWash crates and trays
- INNOVA Alcodis mid-shift, no-rinse disinfectant
Application C
Environment
Airborne coliform, mould on ceilings and people hygiene. Aerial fumigation with QAC surface sanitising.
- INNOVA Hypo general disinfection
- INNOVA QuatShield residual QAC
- INNOVA HandCare operator hygiene
Fix the source, not the symptom. Filler CIP, open-plant cleaning and environmental hygiene run as one schedule. That is what moves coliform counts and shelf life.

Questions people ask us
Which INNOVA products are used for dairy CIP?
A standard dairy CIP runs a pre-rinse, caustic circulation with INNOVA CIP 50, a final rinse, then cold disinfection with INNOVA PAA15. INNOVA CIP AlkaliPlus boosts the caustic step on heavy soil, INNOVA CIP Descale removes mineral scale, and INNOVA AntiFoam FG controls foam in recirculation.
How do you clean a bulk milk cooler without hot water?
Use a daily cleaner cum sanitiser such as INNOVA CanClean after each collection, then a cold, no-rinse sanitiser such as INNOVA PAA15. Peracetic acid works at low temperature, so it suits collection centres with no hot water.
How do you clean a milk analyser like Lactoscan or Ekomilk?
Run Lacto Daily, a mild alkaline wash, at the end of each testing day to remove fat and protein. Once a week, run Lacto Weekly, an acidic wash, to remove mineral scale from the measuring cell. This keeps fat and SNF readings within OEM tolerance.
How long does tanker CIP take with INNOVA?
It depends on the soil load and your CIP bay. Formulated chemistry wets and rinses faster than commodity caustic and acid, and cuts CIP time by up to 30 to 40%. We assess your bay layout before a trial.
Do you provide colour-coded tools and SOPs?
Yes. We supply colour-coded tools by zone (red for raw milk, green for the packing hall, blue for utilities, yellow for amenities), local-language SOPs, dosing kits, training and ongoing ATP efficacy checks.
