A milking equipment cleaning program claimed to bring savings of $2,000 a year in energy has won Ecolab the RABDF Prince Philip Award, presented at Buckingham Palace.
The company was awarded for the most practical, relevant and best presented technical exhibit with the newly launched Lactivate-System at the Dairy Event and Livestock Show this year.
Ecolab's Mark Williams says "After five years of R and D, it's a great achievement to reach a point where the Lactivate-System is ready to market."
The Lactivate-System is based on the activation of lactoperoxidase, an enzyme found naturally in milk. And since only 1% to 5% of milk is necessary for the system to work, the pre-rinse phase can be eliminated enabling one third of water used for cleaning the milking equipment to be saved, along with the energy to heat and run this pre-rinsing water
