New program saves labor, energy and chemicals in cleaning industrial food manufacturing equipment

Diversey has introduced a revolution in cleaning industrial fryers, and has already earned accolades from one of North America’s largest food manufacturing operations.

The innovative One Step Fryer Boil-Out (FBO) Program was designed to clean carbonized soils from fryers and other industrial food manufacturing equipment. It significantly reduces the amount of cleaning and rinsing time, energy, chemical and water used, compared to traditional fryer cleaning methods. The more efficient process helps customers improve the sustainability of their operations.

Traditional cleaning methods take up to 10 hours to remove built-up carbonized food residue and oil in fryers. The One Step system cuts cleaning time in half, which means our customers can move back to production tasks more quickly.

Steps associated with traditional fryer cleaning processes or “fryer boil outs,” may be extensive, requiring use of caustic substances that can potentially harm users and produce less than satisfactory results. The One Step FBO streamlines the process into one simple procedure using a combination of highly effective products and cleaning processes that eliminate up to 65 percent of water and energy, 30 percent of chemicals and 49 percent of the time required during a conventional FBO.

When developing the specific cleaning formulas that meet the needs of any type of fryer operation, Diversey chemists took several factors into account, including the various types of cooking processes, oils, cooking temperatures and metal used in the frying machine. The resulting program reduces downtime, increases production capabilities and improves the overall effectiveness of the FBO system.

These distinctive qualities have been recognized by Frito-Lay North America, which recently presented the One Step FBO program with innovation accolades.

In addition, the One Step FBO Program offers a customized fryer audit, a cost calculator, specialized technical support and ongoing results monitoring for each user. This enables users to better quantify efficiencies and demonstrate results.
