This detergent breaks down
fats and other organic soils
Pure-OX FOAM (photo) is a peroxidebased
foaming detergent specifically
formulated for tough organic soils on
equipment or floors, walls, ceilings,
shelves and other surfaces within
food-processing environments. With
the self-foaming characteristics of
peroxide, Pure-OX FOAM provides
cleaning power and convenience in
a single package. Once the powerful
oxidation reaction is complete, the
degradation products are oxygen
and water, so Pure-OX FOAM will
not add salt or conductivity to water
discharge, nor will it impact wastewater
pretreatment operations, says
the manufacturer. Ideal for foam
cleaning, it readily breaks down proteins,
fats, greases, oils and other
organic soils found in food-and-beverage
processing facilities, especially
dairy, poultry, wine, meat processing
and more. All ingredients in PureOX
FOAM are generally recognized
as safe (GRAS) or have prior-sanctioned
U.S. Food and Drug Admin.
(FDA) approval for direct or indirect
incidental food contact. - Madison

'Green' cleaner removes

organic stains from concrete
In December, this company introduced
a new addition to its line of
MCI cleaners for concrete. MCI2062
is a biological-based surface
cleaner similar to MCI-2061. Both
MCI cleaners make use of the natural
abilities of microorganisms to biodegrade
their target waste substances
effectively without the use of harsh
acidic or alkaline products. However,
where MCI-2061 focuses on the
critical task of digesting hydrocarbon
stains, MCI-2062 targets stains
from organic wastes, proteins, fats,
greases and starches. It is therefore
particularly suited to concrete heavily
soiled by organic wastes in and
around dumpsters, restrooms and
food processing facilities (photo).
MCI-2062 is a multipurpose con18
centrated
bio-enzymatic blend formulated
for general cleaning on a
variety of surfaces. It combines powerful
cleaning chemistry with free enzymes
and microorganisms capable
of biodegrading a wide range of organic
waste in order to leave facilities
clean and odor-free. - Cortec

Predictive monitoring for
pump and mixer maintenance
This company's Risk-Mitigation System
(RMS) monitor (photo) provides
continuous indication of potential
problems with pumps and mixers.
Predictive information supplied by
the monitor enables users to address
issues before mechanical
failure occurs, reducing the risk of
equipment damage and unplanned
downtime. Attached to a pump or
mixer, the system tracks temperature
and vibrations and issues alerts
if it detects any unusual changes.
The RMS monitor can also be programmed
to watch for other potential
hazards, such as leakage and
cavitation. In this manner, costly mechanical
failures involving bearings,
seals and other components can be
avoided. With cellular network connectivity,
the RMS monitor requires
no wiring. Components and sensors
are housed in a single, compact unit
protected by a robust rubber enclosure.

Digital products support
businesses of all sizes
More and more small and mediumsized
companies are using company-owned
mobile devices. In addition
to serving as communication
tools, they can also be used as digital
hubs or for lone worker protection.
In doing so, smartphones and
tablets are issued not only within a
single location, but worldwide. The
management of the increasingly
large number of devices is therefore
often associated with great effort.
For these companies, a mobile
device management (MDM) system
must above all be easy to implement
and require little time in daily
use. The MDM solution developed
by this company (photo) is suitable
for large and small companies alike.
It is an instant-on solution that can
