Evans Vanodine Robo Acid is a fast-acting, phosphoric acid-based cleaner and descaler specifically formulated for robotic milking equipment. It removes milkstone and scale deposits while its low-foaming, quick-rinsing formulation makes it suitable for regular cleaning of both robotic and conventional milking systems.
Evans Vanodine Robo Acid is a concentrated acid cleaner and descaler designed specifically for use with robotic milking equipment. Its phosphoric acid-based formulation provides fast-acting removal of milkstone and scale deposits, helping to keep milking equipment clean and free from mineral build-up.
The low-foaming formulation is well suited to circulation cleaning systems, while its quick-rinsing properties help remove cleaning residues efficiently after use. Robo Acid is suitable for both robotic and conventional milking equipment, making it a versatile option for dairy hygiene routines.
Robo Acid can be used alongside Evans Vanodine Robo Alkali as part of an alternating acid-alkali wash programme, helping to tackle different types of deposits and maintain effective cleaning of milking equipment. The product is supplied in a 25-litre container.
We recommend a concentration of 0.5% to be used as part of a cleaning program of 2 x alkali (Robo
Alkali) washes per day and 1 x acid (Robo Acid) wash per day. This method is also suitable for use in
most automated milk tank cleaning systems.
Dilute Robo Acid with hot or cold water at a rate of 5% (50 ml per litre of water). Rinse milk off
equipment with clean cold water.
Immerse rinsed equipment in the prepared solution or circulate the solution for 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse thoroughly with clean, cold running water, to remove all traces of acid.
Evans Vanodine GP Acid is a fast-acting, methane sulphonic acid-based milkstone remover and descaler for dairy pipelines, equipment and bulk tanks. Its low-foaming, quick-rinsing formula helps remove and prevent milkstone build-up and can also be used as part of a regular parlour wash routine.
Evans Vanodine Acid Brite 25L is a concentrated, low-foaming, surfactant-assisted dairy cleaner and descaler specially formulated for cleaning bulk milk tanks, milking parlours and dairy equipment. Its powerful acidic formulation removes milkstone, scale and deposit build-up, helping maintain clean and hygienic milk-contact equipment. Suitable for use in bulk tanks, robotic milking parlours and other dairy equipment, Acid Brite can be used with hot or cold water and performs effectively in both hard and soft water areas. Its versatile formulation is also suitable for alternating acid/alkali cleaning programmes, providing an economical professional solution for modern dairy hygiene.
Evans Vanodine Crystal™ is a highly concentrated chlorinated powder circulation cleaner developed for cleaning dairy pipeline systems and bulk milk tanks. Its powerful caustic formulation removes milk residues, helps prevent milkstone build-up and leaves equipment clean, free-rinsing and ready for the next milking cycle.
Evans Vanodine Robo Alkali is a chlorine-free alkaline circulation cleaner formulated for robotic and conventional milking equipment. Its high-strength stabilised sodium hydroxide formulation quickly removes fats, oils, protein and milk residues, while sequestrants help prevent calcium deposits from accumulating on milking equipment.
Effective dairy hygiene depends on removing both organic milk residues and mineral deposits from milking equipment.
Astral Hygiene supplies specialist dairy cleaning chemicals for milking parlours, pipelines, bulk milk tanks, robotic systems and other dairy plant.
Alkaline circulation cleaners such as Robo Alkali, Metron, Crystal, Vanorinse and Vanosan are designed to remove fats, proteins and milk residues from milking equipment. Several products are formulated for use across different water hardness conditions and for low-foaming circulation cleaning.
Acidic dairy cleaners such as Acid Brite, GP Acid, Multi-Acid and Robo Acid are used to remove milkstone, mineral scale and deposit build-up from appropriate dairy systems.
Used as part of a suitable cleaning programme, acid and alkaline products support effective CIP cleaning, descaling and routine milking-system maintenance.
Different dairy installations require different cleaning systems, depending on equipment type, water conditions and the level of contamination.
Products such as Acid Brite, GP Acid, Multi-Acid and Robo Acid are formulated for removing milkstone and scale from pipelines, bulk tanks and dairy equipment. Multi-Acid is specifically described for regular and robotic milking plants, multi-stage CIP systems and acid boiling-water cleaning.
Robo Acid and Robo Alkali are designed specifically for robotic and conventional milking equipment. Robo Acid provides phosphoric-acid descaling, while Robo Alkali uses a high-strength alkaline formulation to remove fats, oils, proteins and milk residues.
Cleansan is a specialist QAC-free detergent for cluster-flush and teat-brush systems, with the current product listing stating that 25 litres can make up to 20,000 litres of cleaning solution at the specified dilution.
Astral Hygiene supplies dairy CIP cleaners, milkstone removers, acid and alkaline circulation cleaners, pipeline cleaners, bulk milk tank chemicals, robotic milking-system cleaners and specialist dairy disinfectants.
What is milkstone?
Milkstone is a hard deposit that can develop on dairy equipment from a combination of milk residues and mineral salts. Specialist acid cleaners are used to remove and control this build-up.
What removes milkstone from milking equipment?
Products such as Acid Brite, GP Acid, Multi-Acid and Robo Acid are formulated for milkstone and scale removal in appropriate dairy cleaning applications.
What is the difference between acid and alkaline dairy cleaners?
Alkaline cleaners primarily remove organic contamination such as fats, proteins and milk residues. Acid cleaners are primarily used to remove mineral deposits, scale and milkstone.
What does CIP mean in dairy cleaning?
CIP means Cleaning in Place. It refers to circulating cleaning solutions through pipelines, tanks and equipment without dismantling the system.
Do you supply cleaners for robotic milking systems?
Yes. Robo Acid and Robo Alkali are specifically formulated for robotic and conventional milking equipment.
Do you supply bulk milk tank cleaners?
Yes. Products including Acid Brite, CIP Liquid, Crystal and Vanosan are suitable for relevant bulk tank and circulation-cleaning applications.
Do you supply cluster-flush cleaners?
Yes. Cleansan is specifically designed for cluster-flush and teat-brush cleaning systems.
Do you supply cleaners suitable for hard water?
