Effective milking plant hygiene relies on consistent removal of fat, protein and mineral deposits. To achieve this acid and alkaline cleaners must be used - no single detergent can do this alone.
Ark circulation cleaners are designed to work as part of a balanced cleaning programme, protecting milk quality while extending the life of rubberware and equipment.
Our team of experts are on-hand to advise you about suitable products and applications for your farm.
