AGAR HOOK CLEAN

AGAR Hook Clean

Heavy-Duty Alkaline Cleaner for Meat Hooks & Food-Processing Equipment

AGAR Hook Clean is a professional heavy-duty alkaline cleaner developed specifically for removing fats, oils, blood, grease, hook oils and other stubborn contamination from meat-handling equipment. Designed for abattoirs, meat-processing facilities and food-processing plants, Hook Clean provides concentrated cleaning performance for equipment such as meat hooks, gambrels, soak-tank rollers, slides and chains.

🧪 Powerful Alkaline Cleaning Technology

Hook Clean contains a high level of dissolved caustic soda, together with specialty low-foam surfactants and additives selected to improve the removal of heavy organic contamination from compatible metal surfaces. Its high alkalinity helps dissolve stubborn fats, blood, grease, oils and scale, while wetting agents assist the cleaning solution in contacting and penetrating contaminated surfaces.

The highly concentrated liquid formulation also eliminates the need to dissolve hard-to-handle cleaning powders, making it practical for demanding meat-processing cleaning programs.

🏭 Professional Meat-Processing Cleaning

AGAR’s Product Data Sheet recommends preparing Hook Clean at 1:20 with water in a suitable tank and heating the solution to 70–80°C. Meat-handling equipment is then immersed for approximately 10–15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for heavy soiling, followed by draining and hot-water rinsing. The subsequent hook-cleaning process uses Hook Acid and Hook Oil Concentrate as specified by AGAR.

Because Hook Clean is a highly alkaline caustic product, appropriate protective gloves, protective clothing and eye/face protection are required, and the current AGAR SDS classifies it as a corrosive substance.

For abattoirs, meat processors and food-processing facilities, AGAR Hook Clean provides a specialised combination of high alkalinity, wetting action, fast cleaning and heavy-duty fat and oil removal for demanding meat-handling equipment cleaning programs.
