A new cleaning tool has been under development at Cornell University, which uses superheated steam to kill bacteria on production surfaces.

The no-rinse sanitizer is designed to help organic producers protect quality while driving CIP efficiency.

Lite-N-Tite upright brooms are made with a patented heat-fused fiber design to eliminate premature fiber fallout and areas for contaminants to collect. 

SaniZap is designed to safely sanitize almost any surface, leaving no residue, moisture or harmful chemicals. 

As retail demand surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, food and beverage manufacturers found themselves having to quickly ramp up production to keep pace. The challenge faced by many was how to properly clean and sanitize both equipment and production areas when shifts were added or extended, while plants were running seven days a week and employees were scrambling to keep up with the surge in demand.
