Food Processing & Catering

A food grade sprayer is one certified for direct food contact, such as the Klager CHEF, certified under EC 1935/2004 for oils, fats, cake release sprays and food additives. The rest of a food plant's kit, the foamers, sanitiser sprayers and washdown guns, works on surfaces rather than food, so choose it by the sanitiser it has to survive and the area it has to cover.

NORA PRO stocks the Klager 1.2L CHEF as the exclusive Australia and New Zealand distributor of Klager, along with Klager and Gloria pump up foamers and CT Italy hot water wash guns. NORA PRO also supplies genuine Lafferty foamers, from the drum bung airless foamer to the Wall Mount HV Foamer with Gauges. Pricing is on quote.

Match the seal to the sanitiser

  • Chlorine (hypochlorite) sanitisers and bleach: EPDM, or a model rated for bleach, up to 12.5% available chlorine. Chlorinated detergents contain other ingredients, so send us the SDS.
  • Caustic degreasers and oven and grill cleaners: EPDM.
  • Acid descalers: VITON (FKM), in an acid resistant build.
  • Peracetic acid, quat and hydrogen peroxide sanitisers: ask us. None of our manufacturer sources rate a seal for them, so send the SDS and strength and we will check before you buy.

Klager says not to fill its sprayers with liquid hotter than 30 degrees C. Keep one clearly labelled unit per chemical so sanitiser and degreaser never mix. Look up your products in the Chemical Compatibility Guide, and see sanitising and disinfecting sprayers for benches and touch ups.

Foam for walls and lines, spray for benches

Foam clings to walls, lines and coolroom surfaces for its full contact time, and the white blanket shows exactly what is covered. Pick the foamer by area:

  • Kitchens and small rooms: the Klager Foamya Clean (EPDM, listed for food plant cleaning and chlorine sanitisers) or the Gloria Washfoam 5.0L (EPDM), both hand pumped with no air line or power lead.
  • Production rooms: the Lafferty Wall Mount HV covers up to 46.5 m² a minute, with water and air gauges so the foam is the same every shift. The Drum Mount HV straps to a 205 L drum or tote.
  • Fixed dilution: the Lafferty drum bung airless foamer screws into the drum, needs no compressed air, and its hidden metering tip stops dilution changes.

Lafferty builds the wetted parts for chemical service, but concentrations vary, so confirm your chemical against its SDS. Read more in food grade sanitising equipment, and compare formats in foamers and foam injection.

Washdown and hand hygiene

The CT Italy stainless steel RB65 hot water gun resists corrosion from cleaning chemicals and suits food plants. The RB65 family is made for clean water with normal detergents, up to 60 degrees C continuously and 90 degrees C for short periods. At entries, the Lafferty Sentry is a foot operated, all stainless steel hand sanitiser dispenser with no power or batteries. See all spray guns and lances.

Request a Quote with your sanitiser and the area you clean, and we will confirm the seal and the setup. Catering and processing groups with several sites, and the chemical suppliers who serve them, can Apply for a Trade Account for wholesale supply and custom labelling.

Common questions

What makes a sprayer food grade?

Certification for direct food contact. The Klager CHEF is certified under EC 1935/2004 for oils, fats, cake release sprays and food additives. The other units on this page are for cleaning and sanitising surfaces, not for spraying food.

Can I spray cooking oil or cake release with a standard sprayer?

No. Klager says its standard sprayers are not for oil based liquids. The Klager CHEF is the model listed for food oils, fats and cake release.

Which seal suits a chlorine sanitiser?

EPDM, or a model rated for bleach, up to 12.5% available chlorine. Chlorinated detergents contain other ingredients, so send us the SDS to confirm.

Which sprayer suits peracetic acid or quat sanitiser?

Ask us. None of our manufacturer sources rate a seal for peracetic acid, quaternary ammonium or hydrogen peroxide sanitisers, so send us the SDS and strength and we will check before you buy.

Which foamer suits a food processing plant?

For whole rooms and lines, the Lafferty Wall Mount HV covers up to 46.5 m² a minute with the same foam every shift. For smaller areas, a hand pumped Foamya Clean or Gloria Washfoam 5.0L needs no air line.
