Exelerate Tufsoil
A valued solution for deep cleaning
Removing Heavy Carbon Buildup in Oven Interior
Challenge
A customer was struggling with heavy carbon buildup on their oven’s internal surface. Their current process, which included a foam cleaning followed by a CIP wash programme, was not successfully removing the buildup without the intervention of their hygiene team.
The customer needed:
- Improved visual results
- Reduced equipment turnaround time
- Energy savings
- Reduced labour costs
Innovation Trial Findings
- Tufsoil visually dissolved carbon deposits on the oven’s surface. The breakdown of carbon was evident immediately after application of the product to the surface.
- Customer found the application was easy even in difficult areas due to the Moby gel applicator. No manual intervention was required, and there were no concentration safety concerns.
- No cooling time or manual cleaning time was required, which allowed for a faster turnaround to get the oven back into production.
- Overall, Tufsoil showed significant improvements compared to a traditional alkaline foam application.

Reducing Heavy Soiling in Free Fryer, Improving Efficiency and Quality
Challenge
A customer was struggling with heavy soiling in their free fryers. Lacklustre results were causing efficiency concerns and potential quality control issues. The customer had been struggling with this problem for a long time, and the hygiene team was discouraged.
The customer needed a better solution to:
- Remove heavy carbon buildup on heaters
- Remove heavy buildup on hoods, filters, undersides and belts
- Produce results without the use of spray balls
Ecolab Innovation
The customer selected Ecolab’s full Exelerate Fryer programme:
- Included the new Exelerate Tufsoil gel applied safely and easy with new Moby gel applicator
- Used Exelerate HSI just before the boil out
- During boil out, customer kept Mip SCA as their chosen chemical but increased concentration for the deep cleaning and added either Topaz HD3 or Topaz HD2 to create a foaming environment
