The technology company Lagafors from Sweden has a powerful combination for maximized food safety in its programme: the cleaning system CCS together with the monitoring system LTS.

Lagafors specializes in hygiene solutions for the food industry. The company’s engineering expertise has resulted in two outstanding food safety systems: the Central Cleaning System CCS and the LogTrace System LTS. These two systems work in conjunction to provide highly efficient, fully logged and monitored cleaning processes. According to the provider, they ensure the highest standards of hygiene coupled with excellent cost efficiency and complete documentation. This makes their contribution to food safety invaluable.

The Central Cleaning System CCS meets high demands on capacity, performance and quality. This user-friendly, environmentally friendly, accurate and highly efficient system comprises the VCC II (Variable Chemical Centre) and various types of water pump systems. It feeds all satellite stations (VMS II) needed for operation.

The central components deliver correct pressure, flow and chemical concentration at all times, ensuring safe handling and dosage accuracy for up to 30 simultaneous users. The CCS stands for maximized hygiene as well as a reduction in environmental impact, and cost optimization through careful use of resources. In comparison to most cleaning systems and methods, savings of up to 35 % can be achieved.

The LogTrace System LTS provides customers with a highly reliable cleaning process management and control system. The LTS logs all cleaning parameters and ensures complete documentation and verifiability by allowing access to status and history at any time. The hardware for the water and chemicals dosing system is installed by Lagafors in the central units. Innovative software provides a secure login via internet, enabling the customer to evaluate the necessary data.

For critical parameters, such as chemical concentration, automatic alarm thresholds can be defined. If these are exceeded, immediate notification is sent to the responsible person to initiate corrections in real time. This makes for an active system that consistently delivers impeccable hygienic conditions.

Comprehensive data collection allows customers to create consumption and cost reports that support business decisions. Thus, LTS is an extremely efficient process control tool which, in combination with the fully compatible CCS, shall ensure outstanding quality in food processing and cleaning processes.
