    AlfaCaus is a cleaning agent developed by Alfa Laval to remove deposits from heat exchangers. It is an alkaline liquid based on caustic soda that is effective at removing biological matter, fat, oil and other organic deposits. AlfaCaus can be used with a CIP unit to circulate the cleaning solution through a heat exchanger to clean it within a couple hours. It is environmentally friendly and guaranteed by Alfa Laval to not damage plates, gaskets or glue if used as recommended.

    AlfaCaus

    Cleaning agent for heat exchangers

    A problem frequently encountered in almost all applications is


    the build-up of deposits on heat transfer surfaces. Alfa Laval
    supplies a wide range of cleaning agents suitable for removing
    most of these troublesome deposits. These cleaning agents
    have been specifically developed for use in heat exchangers.
    The time-consuming work of opening plate heat exchangers
    can thus often be avoided by using an Alfa Laval Cleaning in
    Place (CIP) unit.

    All Alfa Laval cleaning agents have been tested in Alfa Laval’s
    own laboratories. Provided the recommended instructions are
    adhered to, Alfa Laval guarantees that these cleaning agents
    do not damage plates, gaskets or glue.

    Concept
    An Alfa Laval CIP unit is connected to the heat exchanger,
    and AlfaCaus is mixed with water in the CIP unit. This mixture
    is then heated, and circulated through the heat exchanger,
    which is cleaned within a couple of hours.

    AlfaCaus is a strong alkaline cleaning liquid with a caustic


    soda base. It is specifically designed for the removal of
    biological matter, fat, oil and other organic deposits from AlfaCaus can be mixed with AlfaAdd (0.5–1 vol% to total

    Instructions for use
    The normal mixing ratio for biological matter, fat, oil and other
    organic deposits is 1 part AlfaCaus to 9 parts of water.* **

    The recommended cleaning temperature is 50–70° C


    (122–158° F).

    The recommended cleaning time is 2–6 hours.***
