Cleaning and hygiene in the food industry
- High-pressure cleaning of machinery and equipment
- FDA-certified high-pressure cleaning of tanks, vessels and containers in the food industry
Keep on top of the hygiene regulations in the food industry
Businesses that process and market food products are subject to numerous national and international legislations in order to ensure food safety and food health at all times. As a result, food hygiene requirements cover all areas of a business – from primary production through production itself, processing and ultimately also sales. Hammelmann offers powerful and innovative cleaning systems for each of these areas and every requirement. This is why we focus intensely on the safety and reliability of our products because we know that unsafe food products due to contaminated and unhygienic production equipment must not be brought to market and can cause huge financial damage. This can also lead to important certifications being lost. Well-coordinated systems from a single source have always proven to be the best solution.
Reliable systems from a single source
Our cleaning systems are as unique as our customers and their challenges. At Hammelmann we will support you from the very first contact with us and we apply the principle that there is solution for every requirement! Therefore, take advantage of the advice from our experts and develop your system with us.

Installations and training available
Clean tanks and vessels thoroughly and quickly
Hammelmann tank cleaning devices remove deposits and caking from the inside walls of vessels and installations with a wide range of diameters and with operating pressures up to 1800 bar. The devices are driven solely by the recoil forces of the water jets. Hammelmann supplies a wide range of nozzle holders to cover the many different applications. The tank cleaning devices can be fitted with one or two nozzle holders.
Adapted to the specific requirements of the food industry
Vessels used for food processing are subject to the strictest of hygiene requirements. Essential standards guarantee high food safety and quality and reduce risks of hazards. In order to obtain important certifications that are also relevant for marketing, several issues must be complied with. Hammelmann tank cleaning devices can therefore be produced with FDA-certified components. This means that vessels can be cleaned thoroughly and reliably removing residue materials and contaminations of all types and then prepared for further production steps. Depending on the use case the tank cleaning devices can be operated with cold or hot water, and also with or without the addition of a food cleaner, and this will help you comply with the standards and obtain certifications.
Optimum cleaning of stationary and mobile vessels
Hammelmann offers you a solution for whatever you want to clean, whether this is high-performance pump units for stationary production equipment or highly-mobile tank cleaning systems for flexible use at many different locations:
Tankers and fruit juice tankers
Refrigeration, thermo and box trailers
Cleaning without disassembly
CIP cannot only be integrated into comprehensive production equipment, but also into different areas within one single process pump. When conveying food products the pump must undergo regular cleaning processes. To ensure the complete rinsing of all areas within the process pump, two cleaning cycles are performed per cleaning agent.
- Cleaning malt and lauter tuns, filters, brew pans, mash tuns and pitching tubs, coolers, filling machines, bottle washers and transport equipment
- Cleaning production systems
- Cleaning distribution rollers, beet processing lines, feed lines
- Cleaning pipes and heat exchangers
- Cleaning transport equipment, devices and floors
- Cleaning drinking water wells
- Cleaning sinks, vessels, boilers, production lines, pipes, pallets
- Removal of beer stone in barrels
- Removal of paint markings and adhesive labels
- Cleaning of stationary and mobile containers and tanks
Innovative water jet technologies for food processing
- Cutting and crushing food products with water
- Residual meat recovery by means of high pressure water jets
A procedure with huge benefits
Nearly all materials can be easily cut and crushed with water and this is also the case in the food industry. Hammelmann sells cutting pumps and equipment between 600 and 3000 bar which have the capacity to cut or crush food products and deep-frozen goods of all types. The use of water jets for cutting and crushing food products offers you huge benefits in comparison to traditional systems.
Hygienic without cross-contamination
Hygienic procedure with pure water without additives and chemicals. Food products do not come into contact with knives or other tools. No salmonella risk thanks to the use of purified water.
Time-saving
Considerable time savings as now there is no need to use knives, blades or other tools which require regular maintenance, cleaning and re-sharpening. Downtime is reduced to a minimum.
Efficient and more profitable
Maximum efficiency and higher profits because waste is minimised and the cutting water can be recycled. This helps the environment and decreases production costs.
Qualitative, sustainable and longer shelf-life
No thermal load, no compression and no washing out of the food product thanks to the very precisely concentrated water jet with speeds up to ~ 1000 m/s, for the very highest quality and a longer shelf life.
Cutting pumps
The optimum use of available resources not only helps the environment, it is also a crucial factor in commercial success. Rapid-switching high-pressure pumps from Hammelmann impress with their excellent implementation of available energy and their maximum reliability in daily operation.
Traditional procedures
Traditional procedures for extracting meat residues are expensive and laborious. Experienced operators must carefully cut the meat residues from the bone by hand using electric knives. This process is very laborious and knives must be re-sharpened regularly. In contrast to separators, undesirable elements such as bone fragments, veins or bone marrow, are not transferred into the meat residue volume.
Innovative removal of meat residues
Another way of meat residue extraction! Meat residue can be removed gently and efficiently from bones using high-pressure water jets. The meat residues are caught in a sieve and the water is discharged. Depending on the type and state of the meat, the water pressure or jet pattern can be adapted to achieve the best possible results.
No preparation of the bones required
No undesirable elements in the meat
Fast, efficient, reliable
