Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces

Steam from the Optima Steamer is a deep-cleaning yet gentle method for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in the food industry. Worktables, walls, floors, tiles, handles, and stainless steel surfaces can be effectively cleaned and disinfected without the use of chemicals. The steam penetrates hard-to-reach areas such as joints, corners, and cracks where bacteria may otherwise accumulate.

A key challenge in the food industry is biofilm formation, which can develop on surfaces and be difficult to remove with traditional cleaning methods.

Research indicates that steam can be effective in breaking down and removing biofilm, as the high temperature (125-150°C) and pressure allow it to penetrate deposits and weaken their structure. This makes steam a valuable supplement in efforts to control biofilm and support a higher hygiene standard.

High food safety standards - The Optima Steamer removes grease, biofilm, and microorganisms in a single step. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and helps ensure compliance with food safety inspection requirements.

Reduced downtime - Cleaning is faster, and many surfaces can be disinfected without long production interruptions.

Improved working environment - No use of harsh cleaning chemicals and reduced physical strain contribute to healthier and safer working conditions for employees.

Greener profile - Significantly lower water and chemical consumption makes cleaning more environmentally friendly and directly supports your ESG reporting and environmental footprint.

Extended surface lifespan - Gentle steam cleaning causes less wear on materials compared to traditional high-pressure cleaning or aggressive chemical cleaning.
