THE PROBLEM

Chocolate from baked goods was sticking to the belt of the cookie, bread, and pastry line that is dry steam cleaned on a continual basis during production. This created extreme carryback problems for this industrial bakery. Conveyors had to regularly be stopped, washed, and sanitized to remove chocolate from the rollers and the maintenance team had to frequently clean the floor below the conveyor due to the wasted product carryback.

THE SOLUTION

The Flexco FGP Food Grade Primary Cleaner offered a simple design, metal detectable UHMW blade, and stainless-steel components that allowed for effective removal of chocolate. The FGP limited carryback by more than 75%, keeping it from building up on the other conveyor components and from falling onto the floor. By positioning the FGP in front of the in-place dry steam cleaner in the direction of belt travel, the cleaner was also able to improve the efficiency of the steamer.
