ACIDIKALIN is a premium acid-based Clean-In-Place – CIP detergent for dairy equipment hygiene. It is formulated for removing mineral deposits, milkstone, and inorganic scales from dairy equipment. It is used in dairy parlors, pipelines, bulk milk tanks, milking systems, and automated CIP cleaning programs.
The product is available in two specialized formulations:
- Nitric Acid + Phosphoric Acid Blend
- Sulfuric Acid + Phosphoric Acid Blend
These advanced acid detergent formulations provide powerful descaling action, superior cleaning efficiency, and long-term equipment protection.

Why Acid Cleaning is Important in Dairy Systems
Excellent hygiene in dairy equipment is essential to produce high quality milk. Over time, dairy systems develop mineral deposits, milkstone, hard water scales, and inorganic residues that reduce equipment performance and increase contamination risks. Without proper acid cleaning, dairy systems may develop:
- Milkstone buildup
- Hard water scales
- Mineral deposits
- Reduced cooling efficiency
- Pipeline blockage
- Increased bacterial growth
- Poor milk hygiene
- Equipment corrosion and damage
Regular acid cleaning helps to maintain clean, efficient, and hygienic dairy systems.
How ACIDIKALIN Works
ACIDIKALIN uses powerful acid-based cleaning agents to dissolve mineral scales and remove inorganic residues from milk-contact surfaces. The formulation helps to:
- Dissolve milkstone deposits
- Remove hard water scales
- Improve equipment cleanliness
- Maintain smooth milk-contact surfaces
- Reduce bacterial buildup
- Improve sanitation efficiency
Key Benefits of ACIDIKALIN
1. Rapid Scale and Deposit Removal
ACIDIKALIN effectively removes mineral salts, milkstone, and hard water deposits from dairy equipment.
2. Improves Dairy Hygiene
The advanced acid formulation helps maintain clean milk-contact surfaces and reduces contamination risks.
3. Suitable for Automated CIP Systems
Its non-foaming formulation supports smooth circulation cleaning in automated CIP systems and robotic parlors.
4. Supports Better Milk Quality
Clean dairy equipment helps maintain safe, hygienic, and premium-quality milk production.
5. Protects Dairy Equipment
Regular use reduces corrosion risk caused by mineral buildup and helps extend equipment lifespan.
6. Works Efficiently Under Different Water Conditions
The formulation performs effectively in soft, medium, and hard water conditions.
7. Enhances Equipment Performance
Clean pipelines and tanks improve milk flow, cooling efficiency, and operational reliability.
8. Complements Alkaline Cleaning Programs
ACIDIKALIN is designed for alternating use with alkaline detergents like ALKIKALIN for maximum hygiene.
Importance of Milkstone Removal in Dairy Equipment
Milkstone is a hard mineral deposit formed from calcium, magnesium, proteins, and milk residues. It gradually accumulates on dairy equipment such as bulk milk tanks, pipelines, milking machines, cooling systems, and milk transfer equipment.
If not removed regularly, milkstone buildup can harbor harmful bacteria, reduce cleaning efficiency, compromise milk quality, and damage equipment surfaces over time. Regular acid washing is therefore essential to effectively remove these deposits and maintain proper hygiene and equipment performance.
Safety and Handling Precautions for ACIDIKALIN
When using ACIDIKALIN:
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing
- Wear proper protective equipment
- Rinse immediately with clean water in case of contact
- Store safely away from children and direct sunlight
- Always rinse equipment thoroughly after cleaning to avoid chemical residues in milk
Proper handling ensures safe and effective cleaning performance.
