“Food for the people”, food quality is directly related to the health of the people, so food processing enterprises are highly concerned about food safety issues, especially in the choice of defoamer performance is particularly prudent. At present, the food processing industry generally tends to use silicone defoamer, there are good reasons behind this choice. Below, we will explore the food processing industry prefer silicone defoamer two key factors:


First, lasting foam inhibition, significantly improve production efficiency
Compared with earlier defoamer products, silicone defoamer in the persistence of foam inhibition to achieve a significant improvement. According to the experimental data of related enterprises, under normal temperature conditions, the defoaming time of organosilicon defoamer can reach 3 to 4 times of the ordinary defoamer; and under high temperature environment, its working time is 6 to 7 times of the ordinary defoamer. This data fully demonstrates that the use of silicone defoamer is generally better than ordinary defoamer. From the cost-effectiveness point of view, the same input can be used in the production of time to obtain a longer return, which is undoubtedly a huge economic advantage for enterprises. Therefore, the use of silicone defoamer can save a lot of money in the production.


Second, safe and non-toxic, to ensure food safety
As a chemical material, ordinary defoamer may contain potentially toxic and harmful substances, which constitutes a major food safety hazard. After all, the final product of food processing enterprises is directly for human consumption. In contrast, silicone defoamers have been proven to be non-toxic and non-hazardous during the manufacturing process. What's more, the residual amount of silicone defoamer after use can be controlled to less than 0.1% through extraction tests, a result that largely alleviates people's concerns about the safety of defoamers. In food industry production, the main role of defoamer is to promote the smooth running of the production process. Through the use of defoamers, production efficiency is significantly improved because it reduces the time that would otherwise be wasted due to foam problems. This change not only optimizes the traditional production and processing mode, but also directly promotes the development of the industry and brings more economic benefits.
