Walco Industries Cleaning Methods:
Our company will determine which cleaning method to use based on the material build up
Steam
High or Ultra High Pressure Water
Fogger wash systems using high pressure hot water and automated 3D tooling
Sanitation Process
Upon completion of the wash, our certified confined space entry team may enter if required, to remove any residues that were left behind. Once the residues are removed, our team meticulously cleans all of the critical control points.
If requested by our customer we will then wash the tank with a detergent and sanitize it. Once the vessel has been air-dried the surfaces may be microbial swab tested. A final inspection is completed and the vessel handed back to the customer.
Additional Cleaning Practice:
If residues are left behind after a fogger wash, we remove them using hand tools, or High Pressure Water Jets up to 40,000 PSI
