Disinfectant products

PRAPAT is a manufacturer of general cleaning solutions and disinfectants under the trademark of “PEERAPAT”, namely multi-purpose cleaners, increasing the washing efficiency solution, etc. Furthermore, in order to expand customer groups to the food and beverage manufacturing industries, therefore the Company has established a subsidiary, Calvatis-Asia Pacific Company Limited (CVT), engaging in the business of importing machinery and equipment for sterilization systems installing in food and beverage manufacturing plants for supporting the distribution of disinfectants produced under the chemical formula and trademark of “Calgonit”. which is a brand of Calvatis GmbH (“Calvatis GmbH”) from Germany (a joint venture holding CVT shares in the proportion of 200% of the paid-up capital). Calvatis GmbH is an expert international disinfectant manufacturer with state-of-the-art technology and marketing networks in many countries around the world. CVT has a sufficiently experience and expertise in such products for more than 20 years. As a result, customers in the food and beverage manufacturing industries put their trust in CVT's products and services as well.

Food and beverage manufacturing factories must obtain “Good Manufacturing Practice: GMP”, which requires quality control of raw materials and hygiene throughout the entire production process. Therefore, cleanliness in the factory is extremely important. Food and beverages produced must be free from pathogens that affect consumers’ trust in the products. Disinfectants used for food and beverage industries must have special properties that are different from general disinfectant products which must contain a component of disinfectant and sanitizer.

CVT provides a full range of cleaning equipment installation services in food and beverage factories to support the distribution of disinfectants to such customers as follows:

1. Central Foam System

The foam cleaning system is equipped with a control system and pump system for dispensing the cleaning solution into each production line. The liquid dispensed from the reagent tank will be conveyed to the foam box. When cleaning is required, the staff opens a valve to inject foam onto the surface of the equipment or production line conveyor. The advantage of the Central Foam system is that the staff can easily adjust the mixing ratio according to the desired formula, because the mixing tank is located outside the building or production line.

2. De-Central Foam System

This foam cleaning system is suitable for factories with different cleaning methods for each area of the plant. The mixing ratio is different for each application area where the storage tank is located inside the building or production line.

3. Mobile Foam Device System

Portable foam cleaner available in 20 liter and 50 liter sizes. The staff can move the equipment to clean the desired area with ease. This system is suitable for small factories. In addition, the Mobile Foam Device System is safe for users as it is not related to the electrical system.

4. Fogging System

The automatic air disinfection system consisting of four-sided diffusing nozzles. It can spray 180 degrees. It will be used after cleaning the area and there are no people inside the area. The automatic air disinfection system sprays mist or fog from the ceiling to replace the air in the area to be cleaned for disinfection and deodorization. As a result, the area or room for food and beverage production clean and ready to start next production process. The air disinfection process takes about 3-8 hours at a time.

5. Lubricant Conveyor System

The system will automatically spray the lubricant by spraying the lubricant onto the conveyor belt to prevent it from jamming and help disinfect.

In this regard, PRAPAT and CVT disinfectant products can be divided into 5 groups with details as follows:

1. Foam products

Foam cleaning system is an accepted and suitable cleaning method implementing in the food and beverage industries. Foaming Disinfectant Cleaners are excellent for disinfecting and removing stains on factory machinery and equipment. There are 2 types of foam products as follows:

1.1
Acid Foam
Highly concentrated, high foaming, suitable for getting rid of scales and stubborn stains in food and beverage industries.
1.2
Alkali Foam
Foam products designed to remove grease and protein stains in the food and beverage industries

2. Clean in Place products

CIP solution for wet cleaning of food and beverage industries includes detergents, cleaning agents, disinfectant solution. CIP cleaning does not require disassembly of equipment or machinery. These products are therefore suitable for food and beverage industries in continuous production lines or closed system machines. CIP products are divided into two types as follows:

2.1
Alkaline CIP This range of products is used to remove stubborn protein and fat embedded in CIP recirculation system. Such products are easy to rinse out.
2.2
Acid CIP This range of products is used for getting rid of scales and stubborn stains embedded in the CIP recirculation system and immersion cleaning. Such products are suitable for the food and beverage industries. Users can accurately determine the residue and concentration of the products.

3. Disinfectant

Disinfectant products contain chemical compounds for destroying microorganisms or pathogens on surfaces of food and beverage production equipment. CVT disinfectants are divided into two types as follows:

3.1
QAC (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) disinfectants are specially developed to be able to sterilize all conditions, penetrate the surface well, do not corrode all metals and do not affect plastic surface or machine structures. It activates by destroying Gram-positive bacteria (Spore forming lactic acid and bacteria) and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacteria causing food spoilage) as well.
3.2
PAA (Peracetic Acid) disinfectants are high-performance disinfectants acting both cleaning agents and disinfectants that can directly come into contact with food without leaving any residue affecting food. These products are suitable for sterilization in the CIP recirculation system eliminating bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses.

4. Lubricant

Conveyor belt lubricant is used for cleaning conveyor belts to guarantee production capacity and hygienic accuracy from every packaging process. This is to prevent contaminants contaminating food and beverage products. CVT conveyor belt lubricants are compatible with all packaging materials and also environmentally friendly. There are 2 groups of lubricants as follows:

4.1
Soap base products are lubricants to inject onto the conveyor belt to reduce friction between the belt surface and the bottle or package to prevent rust, fungi and bacteria. Since soap products are water soluble, they are not suitable for use on plastic belts because they will cause stains, causing the plastic belt not slip.
4.2
Synthetic base lubricants are waterproof conveyor belt spray lubricants suitable for all types of conveyor belts.

5. General cleaning products

These products are used for cleaning and removing grease, protein and various stains. They can be easily rinsed out and not harmful to the environment, such as multi-purpose cleaners, increasing the washing efficiency solution, etc.
