Kraft Foods Cleaning with Morantz Ultrasonics

There are many uses for our Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems, but just when we thought we knew them all, along comes something new. A few months ago I was contacted by an energy optimization company that works for many large companies including, Kraft Foods Inc. Kraft had a specific part for their baking ovens that needed to be cleaned, and the pressure washing/hand cleaning they were doing wasn't working. The question posed to me was "Can you clean them?" My answer: "I don't know until we try". So that's just what we did. These parts were sent to me for a test clean, and sure enough, the ultrasonic process worked wonderfully. The parts were functional again, saving not only time in cleaning, but a tremendous amount of money in both labor and replacement costs.

In the past couple of months I personally visited a few of the Kraft bakeries to install custom equipment and train their staff on the operation of the system.


These photos are from the Chicago operation, which as I was told during my visit, is the largest bakery in the world! I have no doubt as each of their ovens was literally a football field long (that's Gridiron football for all you non US citizens reading this).

Yes I do look lovely in my hair net...not!

Kraft's need was specific, and therefore required a machine to be built to their specifications. While many times one of the standard Morantz models will work for an application (there are over 10 different shapes and sizes to choose from!), or at least one can usually be modified for an application, this time it could not. Accordingly, we built a specialized system for Kraft and worked closely with their engineers to be able to provide them with the best tool possible. Here's a photo of Kraft's new system now installed in their bakeries throughout the U.S.:

If you company has a special part that needs cleaning, and you can send it to us, we will be happy to offer you a FREE trial cleaning. Just this week I mentioned this to a potential client and they happily sent me this steamer oven full of calcium deposits to trial.

The company who owns this steamer (and many others like this) is paying to replace them 2 or 3 times a year at a cost of several thousands of dollars.

By running the trial at our facility, we were able to determine the proper cleaning chemical, temperature, process, power, frequency and machine size needed for the job.
The result was amazing. Take a look:



Now, the company who is purchasing the ultrasonic machine will clean these ovens on a regular basis, charge nicely for the service (meaning they will make an excellent profit) but still save the client thousands of dollars. That's a true win-win.
