Product Details

R069KEV - Vanosan® 25ltr

Evans Vanodine Vanosan® is a concentrated chlorinated alkaline pipeline and tank cleaner designed for effective cleaning of dairy milking equipment. Its strong sodium hydroxide formulation works to remove fats, proteins and milk residues, suspending and carrying away soil during the cleaning process.

Vanosan® is suitable for regular and robotic milking parlours, as well as direct expansion tanks and insulated bulk milk holding tanks. Added sequestrants help maintain cleaning performance across different water hardness levels, making it suitable for use in both hard and soft water.

The non-foaming formulation mixes easily with water and rinses freely after cleaning. Vanosan® can also be incorporated into an alternating acid and alkali wash programme to help tackle different types of deposits within dairy equipment.

Dairy Cleaning Chemicals for Milking Parlours & CIP Systems

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.

Milkstone Removal, Robotic Milking & Specialist Dairy Cleaning

Different dairy installations require different cleaning systems, depending on equipment type, water conditions and the level of contamination.

Milkstone Removal & Acid Cleaning

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.

Robotic Milking Systems

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.
