- Advantages
- Has excellent cleaning properties even at very low addition rates.
- Sugar degradation products and other organic ingredients (e.g. protein) are dissolved considerably better and faster in alkaline solutions.
- In alkaline pretreatments, the conversion of hardly soluble Ca-compounds (such as calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium oxalate, calcium silicate, etc.) into acid-soluble compounds is greatly promoted by the addition of KEBOSOL AN, thus significantly shortening the treatment time.
- Significantly shortened.
- In the case of intermediate rinsing, detached sludge is better removed and thus the acid requirement is considerably reduced.
- Product Highlights
- Consists of a specific combination of washing-active substances which, in neutral and alkaline solutions, have excellent cleaning power even when added in very small quantities.
- Emulsifies greasy and oily components (e.g. foam oil residues).
- Disperses fine layers of dirt. This prevents redeposition and adhesion to heating surfaces.
- Sugar degradation products and other organic ingredients (e.g. protein) are dissolved much better and faster in alkaline solutions.
- In the case of alkaline pretreatments, the conversion of poorly soluble Ca compounds (such as calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium oxalate, calcium silicate, etc.) into acid-soluble compounds is greatly promoted and the treatment time is thus significantly reduced.
- In the case of intermediate rinsing, sludge that has been detached is better removed and the acid requirement is thus considerably reduced.
- During the alkaline post-treatment, the breakdown of acid-insoluble silicates and organic substances is intensified and the removal of acid residues is promoted.
- The addition of KEBOSOL AN to alkaline solutions for after-treatment supports the neutralization of acid residues even in the smallest pores and hairline cracks due to the good wetting properties.
- The final rinse improves the removal of residual sludge. In alkaline cleaning solutions, the removal of sugar char becomes possible. When cleaning filter fabric in a neutral or weakly alkaline solution, the detachment of particularly stubborn dirt particles from the pores of the textile fabric is promoted by reducing the adhesive forces.

- Applications
- I&I Cleaning Applications
- Applications
- To intensify and accelerate chemical cleaning operations. KEBOSOL AN consists of a specific combination of detergent surfactants which have an excellent cleaning efficiency in neutral and alkaline solutions already at very low dosing rates. KEBOSOL AN emulsifies fatty and oily substances (e.g. residues of antifroth oils) and disperses thin films of dirt. Thus redeposition and adhesion to the heat surfaces are prevented.
- During chemical cleaning operations in the sugar industry the following advantages have proved a success when adding KEBOSOL AN:
- The dissolution of sugar decomposition products and other inconvenient organic components (e.g. proteins) in alkaline solutions is considerably improved.
- At alkaline pretreatments calcium compounds (such as calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium oxalate, calcium silicate a.s.o.) being difficult to dissolve are transformed into acid soluble compounds by adding KEBOSOL AN. As a result the treatment period is considerably shortened.
- At intermediate cleanings the removal of detached sludge is improved. Consequently the requirement of acid is considerably reduced.
- During the alkaline aftertreatment the decomposition of acid insoluble silicates and organic substances is intensified and the removal of acid residues is favored. This is of atmost importance as even small acid residues remaining in the smallest pores may cause serious corrosion. The addition of KEBOSOL AN supports the neutralization of acid also in the smallest pores and crazings owing to its good wetting properties. At the final rinsing the removal of residual sludge is improved.
- By adding KEBOSOL AN to alkaline cleaning solutions also sugar charcoal can be removed. When cleaning filter cloth in neutral or weakly alkaline solution KEBOSOL AN particularly favors the removal of especially persistent dirt particles from the pores of the textiles by reducing the adhesive forces.
- KEBOSOL AN can be used at alkali concentrations up to approx. 25 % and temperatures up to 100°C.
Hints for the Application in Food Processing Factories
In case of proper application KEBOSOL AN complies with the requirements of the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB, revised version by announcement of 15.09.2021).- Areas of Application
Activator for alkaline and neutral solutions. For intensifying and accelerating chemical cleaning processes.
- Addition and Dosing
- KEBOSOL AN is added into the mixing tank while preparing the alkaline solution.
- The dosing rates amount to:
- Alkaline pretreatment of apparatus with normal contamination (up to 5 % total alkali content) 0.1 - 0.2 %
- Alkaline pretreatment of apparatus with thick contamination (more than 5 % total alkali content) 0.2 - 0.5 %
- Alkaline aftertreatment/neutralization (up to 2 % total alkali content) 0.1 %
- The duration of treatment depends on the composition and thickness of scales as well as on the application temperature.
- When using KEBOSOL AN in food processing plants the surfaces of the plant parts have to be carefully rinsed with potable water after the cleaning process.
