What is Food Grade Tank Cleaning?
Food-grade tank cleaning is a specific process of thorough cleaning and sanitising tanks used for food product transportation. This service maintains high standards of hygiene through advanced cleaning techniques, protocols, equipment and food-safe cleaning agents.
Proper cleaning prevents cross-contamination between different food products, bacterial growth and integrity of transported goods. Without proper cleaning procedures, food products can be compromised by residues, allergens or microbial contamination. Water storage tanks also need to be maintained to prevent contamination and water quality and safety.
Tank cleaning specialists play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with safety and sanitation codes.
We follow the safety and sanitation codes set by regulatory bodies like FSA. These codes include specific requirements for cleaning temperatures, chemical concentrations and verification testing. Professional cleaning services keep a record of each cleaning cycle for food transport companies.
Benefits of Professional Tank Cleaning Services
Industrial food tank cleaning is the key to preventing contamination and spoilage of food products in transport. By following a cleaning protocol and using the right equipment, these services remove harmful bacteria, allergens and cross-contamination risks that can compromise food safety.
Regular tank cleaning means operational efficiency and safety in food transport. Clean tanks mean better product flow, less chance of batch rejection and consistent quality throughout the delivery.
Food safety is guaranteed through professional cleaning. Our specialists know and follow FSA guidelines, HACCP principles and industry standards. They keep records of cleaning procedures for audits and inspections. Tank cleaning is compliance. Keeping tanks clean is the law and safe.
Professional cleaning and sanitising extends tank life by preventing corrosion and material degradation. Regular maintenance through proper cleaning protocols protects tank surfaces, seals and components, reduces repair costs and downtime and ensures long-term reliability in food transport operations.
Types of Food-Grade Tanks that Require Cleaning
Food-grade liquid transport tanks need to be thoroughly cleaned to keep product purity when carrying milk, juice, cooking oils and liquid chocolate. These tanks have special linings and temperature control systems that need to be looked after during IBC cleaning. Fuel tanks for food transport vehicles need separate cleaning procedures for food contact surfaces. Although not in contact with food products, their maintenance is important for transport safety and regulatory compliance.
IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) need to be cleaned between product changes. These versatile containers carry everything from syrups to liquid ingredients, so cross-contamination prevention is key through proper sanitisation protocols. Water tank cleaning is also important for water quality safety and regulatory compliance.
Dry goods storage tanks for grains, sugars and food additives need to be cleaned regularly to prevent pest infestation and moisture damage. These tanks often require different cleaning methods for different particle sizes and product types.
Highly efficient removal/disposal of heating oil and cleaning and cutting up the tank. David and his team are friendly...
We invited Bio Clean Jetting to quote for the removal of our redundant oil tank. We emailed photos and access requirements and they promptly provided a quote.
A fair price paid. Efficient, professional, friendly and helpful service to remove a problematic domestic underground fuel tank.
I would highly recommend this company. They removed a rusty oil tank from my garden, including cutting it up as the access route wasn't big enough to take it out in one piece.
The Cleaning Process
Pre-Clean Inspection
Professional tank cleaning starts with an inspection to see what condition the tank is in. Technicians look for damage, cracks or corrosion that could affect cleaning or tank integrity. They note what was in the tank previously and any residues to determine what cleaning method and chemicals to use.
Cleaning Methods and Techniques
High-pressure water jetting is a powerful cleaning action that removes stubborn residue and contaminants whilst protecting tank surfaces and cleaning all internal surfaces. Oil tank cleaning is also important to remove sludge, rust and residue that can affect oil quality and equipment operation.
Tank cleaning specialists use specialist equipment and environmentally friendly chemicals to clean all types of tanks, oil and diesel. They know how to remove all contaminants whilst keeping you compliant and safe.
Food grade cleaning agents and sanitisers are chosen based on previous cargo and tank material. These products meet food safety standards and are clean without leaving any residue. Cleaning cold water storage tanks is also important to prevent bacterial growth and is safe for domestic use.
Technicians know where to focus on the areas that need extra attention.
Proper drying prevents microbial growth and contamination. Hot air drying system dries the moisture quickly, natural ventilation can be used when applicable for the tank and next cargo.
