Testing & Results
Details of Test
This test utilized ribofavin testing, an industry recognized method of spray coverage testing. Removal of ribofavin in this test proves that spray coverage is achievable for the equipment when utilizing the specifed cleaning system. When a ribofavin test is successful, cleaning the equipment of any product of can be successful through use of the correct combination of cleaning parameters (TACT - Time, Action, Chemical, Temperature) for that particular product and process.

Results A standard hose crimp creates a crevice on the outside of the hose capable of holding ribofavin, resulting in a failed ribofavin test. This will likely create unsanitary conditions and harborage bacteria while in process use over time.
The gasket seal design of the Seal-Rite hose did not hold any ribofavin solution and had no fuorescence.
Post-Test Standard Hose
Crevice allows for harborage of ribofavin
Gasket seal prevents harborage of ribofavin
