Diverse food manufacturing sectors – from poultry and fish processing to pizza manufacturing, and from dairy processing to potato crisp frying – have tested and proven the effectiveness of Enduro Power™. This innovative range of cleaning foams from Diversey™ demonstrates up to 50% less water usage, a reduction of up to 33% in chemical levels and a rinse time up to 50% shorter than standard foams. Specifically developed to meet the tough hygienic, environmental and financial demands of the food, beverage and dairy industries, these innovative hygiene products visibly achieve ambitious sustainability targets and performance standards.

Diversey™ Enduro Power™ clings tenaciously to all surfaces and forms a highly active and visible film. It retains contact up to four times longer than alternative foam products, increasing penetration of stubborn soils. The fact that no reapplication is required reduces labour costs, energy and water requirements, and chemical quantities.

A comparison of Enduro versus standard foam after 7 minutes.

Time and water savings continue during the rinsing process, which is extremely fast due to the foam’s collapsing ability and the lack of need for extra scrubbing. A lower chemical concentration, 50% less than in standard foams in the case of implementation by fish production customers, positively adds to the sustainability balance sheet. Poultry sector customers have experienced a 50% reduction in rinse time when using Enduro Power™ to clean surfaces in their facilities. Those active in the highly competitive and cost-sensitive pizza manufacturing business recorded a 20% saving in overall cleaning expenditure, making a very significant difference to operational efficiency and the ensuing bottom-line results.

A total of ten different formulations make up the Enduro Power™ family, geared to the specific needs of the food and beverage sector’s diverse spectrum of equipment, embracing conveyors, fillers, ovens, fryers and smokehouses amongst others. Enduro Plus is proven to reliably remove biofilm. These groups of potentially harmful microorganisms are notoriously difficult to remove. The effectiveness of Enduro Power™ foam technology and the Enduro Plus formulation is validated according to the modified ASTM-E2871-12 standard test method for evaluating disinfectant efficacy against the pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. In addition to threatening consumer health, these biofilms can also take partial responsibility for material corrosion. Their effective removal therefore has a direct impact on the performance of processing equipment, closing the loop to operational efficiency.
