SAFE PROCESSES WITH UNDERCOUNTER, HOOD TYPE DISHWASHING MACHINES AND UTENSIL WASHERS

The novel coronavirus: Be on the safe side with MEIKO

In the case of the novel coronavirus, all respiratory secretions are considered potentially infectious. This makes the risk of the virus spreading particularly high during social gatherings – this also applies to restaurants and canteens.

"MEIKO devices are able to process dishes and cutlery in such a way that they can be reused without hesitation, even if they have previously been used by infected or sick people," says PD Dr. Dr. Friedrich von Rheinbaben.

The technology of undercounter, hood type dishwashing machines and utensil washers can have major differences in the details. When it comes to protecting the consumer, the treatment conditions at the washware itself in particular, and several other technological details, prove decisive.

These include:

  • The special MEIKO washing mechanism which ensures that the viral load is reliably washed away.
  • A sufficiently high water temperature that can be kept constant thanks to a double-walled structure, and which helps against temperature fluctuations.
  • An alkaline detergent with surfactants whose effectiveness against enveloped viruses has already been proven in many tests.

Detergent:

  • Highly alkaline, based on tensides, e.g. Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or disodium metasilicate
  • Concentration of at least 2.5g/l for a liquid cleaner, or 1.8 g/l for a solid cleaner
  • pH 11.5 to 13 in the application solution
  • Temperature and contact time are controlled by the programme

MEIKO recommends the following products:
MEIKOLON FR 80
MEIKOLON FR 81
MEIKLOLON ÖKOCLEAN FR
Ecolab Topmatic Hero

Rinse aid:

  • Rinse aid based on non-foaming tensides such as alcohol alkoxylate
  • Concentration of at least 0.1 g/l according to MEIKO recommendations
  • pH 5 to pH 7 in the application solution
  • The temperature and contact time are controlled by the programme

MEIKO recommends the following products:
MEIKOLON KSU
MEIKOLON ÖkoClean KS
