Remote Dilution and Distribution of Chlorinated Cleaning Chemicals

Can I Remotely Dilute and Distribute My Chlorinated Cleaning Chemical? This is one of the most common questions in the cleaning systems industry - and for good reason. With the widespread use of chlorinated detergent products, the demand for chlorine-resistant system components has never been greater.

Over the years, many facilities have experienced costly damage caused by chlorine-based detergents: corroded pipework, failing pumps, and system downtime. These challenges have created understandable hesitation around handling chlorinated products through centralised cleaning systems.

The Good News

With a fully centralised Foodclean Cleaning and Disinfection System, chlorinated detergents can be safely and efficiently diluted and distributed – without the risk of corrosion or system degradation. Here’s why:

Chlorine-Proof Construction

Our ChemPipe system is engineered specifically for chlorine resistance. It is constructed entirely from cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) and PPSU fittings, making it 100% free from stainless steel welds.

Why is this important?
In traditional systems, welds are often the weakest link. The impurities within welded stainless steel joints make them highly susceptible to chlorine attack – leading to premature failure. The ChemPipe design eliminates this vulnerability completely.

Dilution at Source for Maximum Safety

Many chlorine-related failures occur when concentrated detergents are transported through pipework. In contrast, the Foodclean system performs dilution at source – before the product enters the distribution network.

For example:

Traditional systems often handle detergent at 5% chlorine concentration within the pipework.
The Foodclean system ensures chlorine levels in the pipework never exceed 0.25%, even at maximum ready-to-use concentration – a 95% reduction compared to conventional setups.

This approach dramatically extends the lifespan of the system and ensures long-term reliability.

Chemical-Proof Pumping Technology

Chlorine and acidic detergents are well known for destroying pumps over time. Foodclean technology eliminates this problem entirely.

Dosing pumps are constructed from fully chemical-resistant materials.
Distribution pumps handle only clean water.
Chemicals are digitally dosed into the water flow after the distribution pump, preventing any chemical contact with mechanical components.

Proven Across the Industry

Foodclean systems have been rigorously tested across a wide range of chlorinated and acidic cleaning chemicals for several decades.

This long-standing performance record demonstrates not only chemical compatibility but also the robustness and safety of the Foodclean design.

At Foodclean, we develop and supply a comprehensive range of chemicals, including detergents, disinfectants, and hygiene support products designed specifically for use across the food, dairy, and beverage processing sectors.

Whether your operation requires heavy-duty degreasers, chlorinated detergents, acid cleaners, or foaming disinfectants, Foodclean offers a solution designed for your process, environment, and contamination risks. Each product is formulated to ensure optimal cleaning performance, safety, and compliance – supporting cleaner production lines and improved operational efficiency.

When combined with a Foodclean centralised cleaning and disinfection system, Foodclean chemicals deliver the highest levels of hygiene assurance with precision dosing, reduced chemical waste, and maximum uptime.

How to Respond to a Failed Swab Test: A Practical Guide for Hygiene Managers

A failed swab test is not just a red mark on an audit; it’s a valuable diagnostic tool. However, rather than using more chemicals, stronger chemicals, or increasing the titrations, in most cases, the issue is not the chemical itself. It’s the rinsing or cleaning process that hasn’t been executed correctly.

Increasing Production Uptime Through Smarter Hygiene Systems

Food manufacturers face a daily paradox: increase uptime and maximise output, while simultaneously reducing costs. Hygiene and cleaning, essential for compliance and safety, are often perceived as bottlenecks to productivity. Yet the way cleaning is managed can transform it from a cost burden into a value driver.
