The AIRD clean and sanitise range are the go-to cleaning products in our range. If you have something you need to clean, and are not sure what to do, then reach for something that can both remove the dirt and the bacteria. They are excellent when used on surfaces that have had recent use, as a single-process system which saves you time and money.


Citsanex

Citsanex is a citric acid based detergent biocide that has been developed for use on stainless steel and associated surfaces.  It is a single process cleaner and sanitiser, which will minimise process steps and as with all AIRD products, it won't taint your wine.

Description

An acidic detergent liquid cleaning and sanitising agent.

Application

A single process CIP product used in dilution with either ambient or hot water to clean and remove wine film, colour, protein and organic soils from internal surfaces of stainless steel and associated hard and flexible surfaces combined with microbe sanitising.

Principal Features

  • One process cleaning and sanitising.  Reduces labour, electricity, water cost inputs by ~50%.
  • Surface acid neutralisation not required.  Less chemical = cost savings.
  • Reduced corrosion from solution pH.  Lower maintenance costs.
  • Staff training for one product only = more productivity.
  • Citsanex is free-rinsing.  The result is cleaner surfaces.
  • Better WH&S as a non-dangerous product.  Low VOC for HACCP improvements.
  • Faster turnaround in bottling operations.  No risk of residual oxygen or acetic surfaces as in PAA.
  • Better environmental effluent with no odour, low COD.

Destainex

Destainex is our most popular cleaner and sanitiser and is our ultimate multipurpose cleaning tool.  It is non-dangerous, odourless and doesn't taint, so you can be sure it is safe to use on almost any surface.  It removes colour, protein stains, mould/mildew, organic soils, off-odours and also has an oxidising agent to sanitise the cleaned surface in one process.
