Pre-Rinse and Intermediate Rinse - The Processes Of Cleaning

Pre-rinse cycles often utilize recovered ‘water’ from the intermediate rinse stage. This serves two purposes: first, to reduce total water consumption (and effluent generation); and second, to utilize any heat energy and possible residual detergent solution carried into the recovered rinse tank during the rinse recovery stage. It is not uncommon to find heated pre-rinse systems in certain applications, such as cream production, where the hot pre-rinse solution provides a greatly enhanced method of product residue removal.
