Food industry

Companies in the food industry, which supply vegetables, milk or meat must comply with particularly strict veterinary requirements. One of the biggest problems in this industry is bacterial contamination, which poses the same problem to the entire food industry, only in different areas. It is very important for dairy and / or meat processors and suppliers to keep extremely clean surfaces, equipment, containers, etc. For the suppliers of vegetables and fruits there is a challenge to keep their products fresh for as long as possible. The AIRPLUS1 Lituanica authorized ozone disinfection system addresses these pollution issues in all the mentioned areas.

Advantages of using ozone in the food industry:

  • Ozone affects a wide range of microorganisms and can be used effectively both in water and in gaseous form;
  • Due to its unique properties, ozone-enriched water is faster at killing bacteria and viruses and better than chlorine;
  • Applying ozonation systems to remove odours makes the ambient air cleaner and healthier: not only are odours removed but microbiological pollution is reduced both in the air and on surfaces;
  • Ozone does not leave any traces either on food products or in water;
  • There is no need to buy or store any harmful chemicals, as ozone is produced at the site of targeted use;
  • Ozonation of warehouses

Ozone can be used in various processes including:

  • For the circulation of water disinfection;
  • For washing fish/seafood;
  • For the production of ozonized ice;
  • For odour control;
  • To reduce microbiological contamination of surfaces.

Ozone can be dissolved in the water used to produce ice. The advantages of using such water are as follows:

  • Extended shelf life of frozen fish;
  • Improved product appearance.
  • The use of ozone in the production of ice is not a new concept, as this technology has been used in France since 1936. Studies have shown that the shelf life of fresh fish, seafood, or meat products kept in ozonized ice increases by >33%.
  • Ozone is dissolved in water, and the water can be used for washing various products or raw materials.
  • Studies have shown that this helps to significantly reduce bacteriological pollution (Sopher, et al, 2014, Ozone Applications in Catfish Processing).
  • Counting the number of colony-forming bacteria after product washing with ozonized water shows a significant decrease in colonies.

The advantages of using ozone for the disinfection of circulation water:

  • Ozone is more effective than chlorine in destroying viruses and bacteria (e.g., E. coli - up to 3000 times faster compared to Cl);
  • The ozonation process requires a short contact time (5 minutes, 4 mgO3/l=E. coli reduction by 2.5 log units);
  • There are no harmful residues to dispose of, unlike chlorination;
  • The additional removal of micro pollutants.
