The Problem
Tasti’s Quality Manager, Fiona Breed, spent months trying to remove stubborn scale from a machine that makes concentrated fruit paste for muesli bars. She tried different chemicals, changed dosages, and even used water blasting. Nothing worked. The machine’s international manufacturer had no solution either.

“It was brand-new equipment, but nothing worked,” Fiona said. “We tried everything and still couldn’t get rid of the scale.”

The Turning Point
When Dayle from Hygiene Technologies visited, he didn’t push products. Instead, he asked: “Can we help improve your cleaning methods and procedures?” After inspecting the machine, we suggested a solution, after consultation with their Chemists.

That extra step gave Fiona confidence:

“I knew we were dealing with experts. They didn’t just sell chemicals—they made sure the solution was right for us.”

The Result
Once verified, the product was trialed and worked instantly. The scale was gone. Hygiene Technologies also improved cleaning procedures, updated SOPs, and introduced Fibreclean Macro and Microfibre tools for other areas like the oil filling line.

Added Benefits
Beyond chemicals, Hygiene Technologies recommended explosion-proof vacuum cleaners for high-risk areas, improving safety and compliance.

Why This Matters for Food Manufacturers

Scale buildup can disrupt production and increase costs. Working with experts who understand both chemistry and process improvement ensures long-term results.
