“The weekends are great as only need cold water with the microbubbles, and going down to only three hot washes a week, I see big power savings.
The biggest challenge initially was to trust the new protocols, going from seven hot washes per week down to only three, as it is such a huge switch away from traditional cleaning regimes.
I would strongly recommend CIP Techs microbubble technology to every dairy farmer in New Zealand”.
