Advantages of environmentally friendly cold store cleaning with our CSC 8000 cleaning agent:
We can also clean the finned heat exchangers in the cold store area in an environmentally friendly way using our patented JetMaster process. In addition to considerable energy savings, hygienically perfect exchanger surfaces are also achieved.
In cold stores, soiling quickly occurs on the floor surfaces due to transportation by forklift truck or pallet truck. The pallets with the goods to be cooled must be transported into the cold store from the outside. Dirt on the wheels of the forklift trucks cannot be avoided.
This dirt freezes and builds up. This creates a current need for cleaning. Naturally, cleaning cannot be carried out with water at sub-zero temperatures of up to 30°C if the temperature of the cold store is not brought above 0°C. However, the refrigerated goods must be removed from storage beforehand. If several cold stores are available, the refrigerated goods can possibly simply be relocated. The cold store can then be brought to a temperature above 0°C by switching off the cooling and cleaned conventionally with water and detergent. However, simply lowering the cold store temperature again after cleaning results in considerable costs. Added to this is the time required to transfer the refrigerated goods.
It is even more complicated if there is only one cold store. A refrigerated container must then be rented for the cleaning period, which must first be brought down to the right temperature before the refrigerated goods can be transferred. Once the dirty cold store has been cleaned, its temperature must be reduced accordingly before it can be re-stored. The total costs for cleaning a small cold store of approx. 50 m2 can be calculated including Personnel and rental costs for the refrigerated container can easily exceed a mid-four-figure sum.
In cooperation with its sister company mycon GmbH, Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH has developed a special cleaner that is compatible with foodstuffs and has a high cleaning effect at sub-zero temperatures of at least 30°C. With certain applications, it is even possible to clean at even lower temperatures. The chilled goods remain in the cold store during the cleaning work. Cleaning is carried out in a detailed, prescribed and patent-pending process in which the consumption quantities are precisely specified. Late consequences such as the possible formation of explosive mixtures if the cold store is switched off at a later date when temperatures rise above 0°C are therefore ruled out.
Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH offers not only an effective cleaner but also an overall concept. This overall concept is constantly monitored. This prevents the stored refrigerated goods from being damaged. Every cleaning is documented and the data is stored.
Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH has had cleaning agents and processes tested and certified by Wessling GmbH, Hanover. With around 1200 employees, Wessling is one of the leading companies for consulting, analysis and testing on the market. The process developed by Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH and the cleaning agent used by Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH – also a proprietary development of Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH and mycon GmbH – were classified by Wessling as safe for the food sector and approved in conjunction with the operating instructions of Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH.
Every customer in the food sector has the security and proof to customers and authorities that a cold store cleaning carried out by Kipp Umwelttechnik GmbH or its partner companies meets all safety and food law requirements.

The pipes in the cooling tower were occasionally fed with calcareous water. As a result, an armor of hard limestone had developed around the pipes. The JetMaster combination system successfully cleaned the outer surfaces of the pipes. Zinc coating – which had already been destroyed by previous chemical cleaning – is not attacked by JetMaster.

The entire JetMaster combination system (incl. JetPower) is used to clean surfaces with limescale residues. You can find more information on the JetMaster combination system on the JetMaster product page of our sister company mycon GmbH.
For specific industrial cleaning applications where exceptionally clean compressed air is required, Kipp Umwelttechnik offers a high-quality two-stage filtration system that delivers condensate-free air.
Challenges and Solutions
Unfiltered compressed air can contain various contaminants such as:
Our Solution: Two-Stage Filtration
Result: Condensate-Free Air
Through this two-stage filtration, we achieve a compressed air quality for our cleaning equipment that is free from condensates. This means:
With our two-stage filtration, we offer you the ability to meet even the most demanding requirements. Since our external filtration is only used in specific areas and otherwise stored cleanly and securely, Kipp Umwelttechnik ensures the consistent maintenance of the required air quality.
