In the [**food industry**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/professional-hygiene-and-cleaning-for-the-food-industry?hsLang=en), **hygiene is a primary issue.** While the **safety** issue plays a key role, the **regulatory aspect** also has great importance, making **sanitation and sanitization central requirements for the**

**industry.**

To achieve the **high quality standards required**, the solution is to rely on [**professional cleaning**](https://lavor.com/en/professional/) equipment such as [**high pressure cleaners**](https://lavor.com/en/search/high-pressure-cleaners-pro/) and [**steam generators**](https://lavor.com/en/search/steam-cleaners-pro/), that are **practical, powerful** and in line with the parameters defined by **hygiene regulations**.

## **The challenges of industrial cleaning**

Within food industries, the processing of products such as milk, flour, fruits, vegetables, meats, grains and vegetables requires a sterile and controlled environment to avoid contamination, proliferation of germs and bacteria and damage to the internal production cycle.

In particular, the cleaning practices of food industries machinery requires:

- **elimination of any kind of organic residue;**
- **prevention of microbiological contamination** such as bacteria, mold, yeasts;
- thorough **cleaning of complex machinery** full of small components if not, indeed, entire production lines;
- **efficient** but **also quick** solutions for continuous operation without slowing down the work cycle;
- **protection of processed food materials** by minimizing the use of chemicals.

### High pressure cleaners and steam generators for the food industry

To meet the **needs of the food industry**, Lavor has designed **professional machines for effective dirt cleaning**, capable of **descaling** and **sanitizing** even the most hidden spots, in just one go.

![Utilizzo lancia vapore caseificio](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Utilizzo%20lancia%20vapore%20caseificio.jpeg?width=800&height=575&name=Utilizzo%20lancia%20vapore%20caseificio.jpeg)

**The best cleaning tools in the food industry are:**

- **high** **pressure cleaners**, which take advantage of the **power of the jet and their versatility** to remove settled dirt, even in seconds. Moreover, in [**hot water versions**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/professional-hot-water-high-pressure-cleaners-all-the-advantages-for-farms?hsLang=en) the **action on organic and food substances is even more effective**, further simplifying the cleaning process;
- **steam generators**, which are **environmentally friendly**, **sustainable** and **highly efficient** tools. Due to the high temperatures of the steam jet, **they eliminate up to 99 percent of germs and bacteria**, without the use of chemicals and potentially harmful substances.

Let’s find out the **features, functions and benefits** of these [**professional cleaning**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/tag/professional) tools in detail!

## **High pressure cleaners for the food industry: power and versatility**

[**Professional high pressure cleaners**](https://lavor.com/en/search/high-pressure-cleaners-pro/) are now **indispensable** tools for all those facilities where **cleaning** must be **fast, simple, effective and sustainable**. The special feature of this product is that, by harnessing the power of the pressurized water jet, it is able to **remove coarse dirt or scale in a matter of seconds**, resulting in significant **time and water savings** (up to 70% less than traditional cleaning tools).

There are **two types of high pressure cleaners** on the market:

- **cold water high pressure cleaner**; 
- **hot water high pressure cleaner**, equipped with an internal boiler with coil, combining pressure and heat. This is the **most suitable version for the food industry**, ensuring an even more powerful and effective cleaning.

![pulizia delle industrie alimentari con il vapore](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_1508760397.jpeg?width=800&height=533&name=AdobeStock_1508760397.jpeg)

Using this product is super easy and thanks to the [**many compatible accessories**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/all-the-accessories-for-high-pressure-cleaners?hsLang=en) can show all its versatility! **Within the food industry you can use the high pressure cleaner to:**

- **clean machinery with small and complex components**, reaching even the most hidden places through the use of the **needle nozzle**;
- **clean floors and surfaces**, even large ones, with the **patio cleaner lances** that work effectively on concrete, ceramics, stoneware, brick, tile, linoleum and more. This aspect is especially practical for all those businesses that process **meat and fish**, where large amounts of liquids can spill on the floor, making it dirty, unpleasant and, above all, slippery!
- **clean pipes, travelators and the external surfaces of machinery**, such as those in milk collection, using specific **fan-shaped lances** that amplify the extent of the spray, speeding up the cleaning operation.

In addition, should the need arise, the **adjustable foam lance** makes it possible to supplement the power of the jet with detergents and sanitizers, avoiding waste and overdoses.

## **Steam generators for the food industry: deep sanitization without chemicals**

If the high pressure cleaner is the ideal solution for removing dirt and scale, the [**steam generator**](https://lavor.com/en/search/steam-cleaners-pro/) is the perfect weapon **against germs, bacteria and microorganisms**.

The **steam generator**, or steam cleaner, is a simple and effective product that only needs a little water to **work.... but the result is mind-blowing!**

In fact, using steam in the food industry you can achieve:

- **excellent sanitization.** At 150°C, steam penetrates the pores of surfaces, eliminating up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and mold;
- **deep cleaning without detergents.** The effectiveness of **steam** reduces the need of detergents and chemicals, with **benefits for the environment** and **food safety**;
- **protection for delicate surfaces.** Steam cleans machinery, conveyor belts, counters and worktops without damaging them.
- **reduction in machine downtime**. Steam allows rapid and localized cleaning jobs.

**Various accessories** can also be attached to the steam generator, so as to **expand its functionality and optimize cleaning effectiveness and time!**

**![Utilizzo 3_3 M caseificio 1](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Utilizzo%203_3%20M%20caseificio%201.jpeg?width=800&height=533&name=Utilizzo%203_3%20M%20caseificio%201.jpeg)**

 

## **Pressure + Steam: the perfect combo for the food industry**

**The hot water high pressure cleaner and steam generator are not interchangeable appliances. **

As we have seen, these two professional cleaning tools have different features and functions. In addition, they can offer even more efficiency and safety when used in **a combined approach**:

- **High pressure cleaners remove the toughest and most visible dirt;**
- **Steam generators complete the job by deeply sanitizing surfaces in direct contact with food.**

This synergy ensures high **HACCP standards**, meets the requirements of current food safety regulations and **offers important operational benefits**:

- **Quality and safety**: less risk of food contamination.
- **Production efficiency**: faster cleaning and fewer line stoppages.
- **Savings on detergents**: fewer chemicals purchased and disposed of.
- **Environmental friendliness**: less impact on the environment.
- **Durability**: non-aggressive cleaning that preserves performance over time.

In this way, it is possible to **keep every surface clean and sanitized without the use of chemicals or potentially harmful substances**, achieving an excellent level of sanitization while respecting the environment and products processed in the food industry.
