Abstract
A cleaning/disinfecting system comprises a hypochlorite-providing component in association with a partially neutralized ortho phosphate or complex phosphate detergent. It is particularly useful for cleaning and/or disinfecting milk handling and/or storing equipment at lower than conventional pH and temperature.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Cleaning/disinfecting system and process
This invention relates to a cleaning/disinfecting system and process; more particularly, it relates to the cleaning/disinfecting of milk and storing equipment, such as the generally twice daily circulatory cleaning of pipeline milking machinery.
Currently, it is common practice to clean, for example, pipes and containers which have come into contactwith milk using solutions of caustic soda and/or potash with sodium hypochlorite, sequestrants and wetting agents. Generally, such solutions must be used hot (60-85"C) and are somewhat hazardous at high pH (11-14).
In this field, it is important that the results are both visually and microbiologicallyacceptable. There is also a public safety aspect and forthe United
Kingdom, for example, the Milk and Dairy Regulations 1959 must be satisfied. Before a new system may be adopted, it must in this case be approved underthe auspices of MAFF (Ministry ofAgriculture, Fisheries and Food).
The conventional approach may be regarded as relying on a good detergent in association with an adequate biocide. More particularly, earlier highly alkaline systems have used caustic soda, potash or sodiumcarbonate, together with sodium hypochlorite. Good sequestrants have also been required to preventscaleformation. Such solutions must be used hot, typically 77-82"C, in orderto have the desired effect. In particular, biocide activity drops dramatically with temperature and so is notfeasible to attempt two use Iowertemperatureswith such products.
In orderto be allowed onto the market in the U.K. at least, a new system must demonstrate at least equivalent cleaning and disinfecting to available systems.
The present system avoids the strongly alkaline component and may be regarded as an adequate detergent in combination with a more effective biocide. The biocide is more efficient as it is used at a lower pH. This significant enhancement means that a lowertemperature, still above the melting point of milk fat, may be used, while maintaining a satisfactory level of performance. An additional adavantage is that the lower pH reduces the tendency towards hard waterscaleformation. Polyphosphates and polyacry lates which may be used are particularly good sequestrants for calcium and magnesium salts, the former being present in milk protein.
For purposes of illustration only, the present invention will be generally described in relation to milk handling and storing equipment.
As indicated above, a means has now been found of cleaning milkhandling equipmentto give at least equivalent lower cleaning solution temperatures. The present system not only cleans at least as satisfactorily at lowertemperatures, byt also at lower pH. It would be expected that, although visual cleanliness might be achievable at lower temperatures, comparable microbiological resultstotheconventional 60-850Ccleaners would not. Surprisingly, the present system has been found to give totally acceptable results at a tempera to rue of, for example, 40-55"C and a pH of, for example, 8-9 Interalia, the lower pH range means that hypochlorite is in a more effective form.
As will be appreciated, the present invention enjoys significant advantages. For example, at least equivalent results both visual and microbiological may be obtained at substantially lowertemperatures. In addition to energy and hence cost savings, this may also be more convenient and even marginally more attractive from the safety viewpoint. Moreover, both the compositions as would be sold and in-use solutions would be inherently safer materials to handle than conventional cleaners in particular as regards pH.
All users stand to benefit from the reduction in energy requirements, but the present invention would appearto be a particularly attractive proposition in those cases where waste heat may be recovered from milk refrigeration equipment providing a ready supply of water at about the desired temperature.
Depending on the prevailing pH, hypochlorite may be regarded as giving rise to three cleaning species of varying effectiveness. Under acidic conditions, chlorine gas is formed and this may have its own difficulties. Underthe conventional highly alkaline conditions, OCI predominates. The present system is designed to operate above neutral and belowthe conventional pH in the slightly alkaline range where undissociated HOCI is at an appreciable level, this is being in particular a more efficient bactericide than
OCI . As at least as satisfactory results are obtained with the present system, it might be said that the effect of the lowertemperature is offset by increased activity.It is thought that, depending on the microorganism in question, the particular hypochlorite species, i.e. hypochlorous acid, has a biocidal effect which may be orders of magnitude greater than the hypochlorite anion alone.

Lea and Febiger 1977, E.G. 174-5).
The present invention provides a cleaning/disinfecting system characterised in that it comprises a hypochlorite-providing component in association with a partially neutralised ortho phosphate orcomplex phosphate detergent.
The present invention also provides a process for the production of such a cleaning/disinfecting system characterised in that it comprises providing the components in association.
The present system involves the use of hypochlorite, or rather a hypochlorite-providing component, which sterilant carries official approval, in association with certain detergents. More particularly, suitable detergents may be described as partially neutralised ortho phosphates our complex phosphates. Examples include: sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate, disodium ordipotassium phosphate; sodium hexametaphosphate and tetrapotassium pyrophosphate. The hypochlorite-providing component is generally a hypochlorite, which may be sodium or potassium hypochlorite, preferably sodium.
Commonly, a compatible chlorine-stable surfactant and/or suspending agentand/orscale-control agent is/are also used. In general terms, one or more conventional additives may be used in conventional amounts.
The present two-part system preferably requires a compatible chlorine-stable suspending agent so that soil dispersion/suspension may be optimised and particularly to prevent the formation of adherent scale in hardwaterareas. For exam ple, a polyacrylate having a molecularweightof,say2000to 10,000, preferably about 4000, may be particularly suitable, for example "Dispex N 40, the sodium salt ofa polyacrylicacid. Other polycarboxylic acids may also be used,forexample polyameic acids and copolymers, phosphinocarboxylicacids and saltsthereof.
Commonly, it is advantageous also to use a chlorinestable surfactant, more particularly an anionic or possibly a non-ioniclow-foam surfactant, such as 2-ethyl-hexyl sulphate of"Dowfax3B2".
The presentformulations are generally liquid, but solid powderforms are possible. They may be diluted ordissolved in water as desiredto give in-use solutions of the required strength.
The present invention further relates to such in-use solution and to the production thereof by mixing the present system with water.
According to the present invention, the compositions may be presented as such or may conveniently be in two-partform. Moreover, the present invention may be adapted for use with a dosing machine system which mightalso dispense detergents particularly for bulktankcleaning. Such a system might involve a common hypochlorite source and mightworksequen- tially with caustic soda for tank cleaning.
In addition to the materials and the production thereof, the present invention also relates to the use thereof in particularinthecleaning/disinfectingof milk handling and storing equipment, in particular circulatory cleaning of pipeline milking machinery.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a cleaning and/or-disinfecting process characterised in that it comprises the use of a system or solution in accord ance with the present invention orsuch produced bya process in accordance with the present invention.
Preferably, milk handling and/or storage equipment is cleaned and/or disinfected.
The rangeofcomponentconcentrationsforthe present purposes is very wide and depends, interalia, onthefinal use rate. Forexample, in a liquid product, the content of phosphate detergent, such as polyphosphate or hydrogen phosphate, may be from 0.1 to 90% as potassium tripolyphosphate liquor (50%). In a solid product, for example, from 50 to 95% of, say, sodium tripolyphosphate might be typical, although dilution with an inertingredient, such as sodium sulphate, would be possible. For application abnormal use rates of from 0.25 to 1 levels offrom 1 to 50% as potassium tripolyphosphate liquor (50%) would be particularly useful. (Percentagesw/w, unless otherwise indicated).
Typically, in-use solutions will prnvide from 50 to 1000 ppm available chloride, preferablyfrom 100 to 500 ppm, more preferably about 350 ppm. Depending on water hardness, of course, from 0.01 to 5% w/w of detergent is generally suitable, preferablyfrom 0.01 to 0.1% w/w, more preferably about 0.03% w/w. As
mentioned above, the present system is designed to function in the slightly alkaline range and so the in-use solutions may have a pH of between 7 and 11, preferably from 8 to 9.
The present system may include from 0.1 to 50% of a suspending agent. At common use rates, from 0.1 to 10% would betypical.As regards the optional surfactant, up to 10% might be used depending on the final dilution and the foaming properties, while from 0.05 to 2.5% would be more typical.
When the presentsystem is not in combined form, a small amount of a conventional dye is commonly also added to impart a desired colouration. No dye would normally be added to the combined composition because of the presence of chlorine.
In the case offormulation as a combined composition, the range of component concentrationstendsto be more limited, for example owing to the possibility ofcrystallisation ofthe sodium salts ofthe phosphate(s) present. Typically, from 0.1 to 50% sodium hypochlorite (14-16% available chlorine) would be suitable, the other ranges being as above. As normal use rates, from 10 to 50% might be used in preferred formulations.
The currently-approved concentration rangefor detergent/sterilisers in the United Kingdom is 4/8 fl.
oz/10 gallons (0.25-0.5% v/v), butthere is no reason why these formulations should not be used outside this range from a neat productto 0.1%. Hypochlorite is conventionally used forsterilising milking parlours at 4fl.oz/1 0 gallons (0.25% v/v) and when used forthe present purposes the usual concentration range would again be 4-8 fl.oz/10 gallons (0.25-0.5% v/v).
Certain preferred embodiments ofthe present invention will now be illustrated.
