Building on our many years of experience in water treatment, hygiene and environmental care in the food and agriculture industries – We are delighted to introduce our latest range of products for the fruit & vegetable processing industry.

 

 

 

Wash Water, Flumes & Canning Hydrocoolers

Product spilled by broken cans consumes large quantities of chlorine resulting in higher demand, more corrosion and problems disposing of highly chlorinated water containing high levels of chlorinated organics.

Water flumes are often used to remove dirt and transport fruit and vegetables around the processing plant. This system is highly efficient from the point of view of the operator, but can cause a number of bacteriological problems due to contamination being spread across the batch. In canning lines, hydrocooler water is often contaminated by burst containers, and can cause similar problems.
As well as our chlorine dioxide biocides described earlier, Scotmas now offer organically based, slow release biocides such as Aquabon.

Based on a blend of citrus extracts, Aquabon is used at low levels in flume water to destroy bacteria on produce surfaces, but will not be affected by dirt and other organic contaminants that may be present on the system. Aquabon has a long lasting residual action, and when coated on the surface of the produce will continue to provide bacterial protection. protection.

In many circumstances, this can considerably improve product shelf life and presentation. Aquabon is suitable for use in the processing of organic foods, and is environmentally friendly.

CIP Applications

Hysol sanitizers are available in a variety of formulations suitable for use in CIP regimes and general clean-downs. The Hysol range includes stand-alone sanitizers, pipeline cleaners and combined detergent sanitizer formulations. Our detergent sanitizer formulation is based on peracetic acid and is remove the need for time consuming separate cleaning and disinfection stages, allowing staff more time to concentrate on problem areas. Applied through a pressure washer or your own integrated lance system, Hysol liquids and powders will ensure superb results with minimal turn-around times.

Many plants are now using sanitizer fogging to ensure the best possible clean downs of freezers, cold rooms and process areas. Hysan liquid is based on our powerful chlorine dioxide technology and provides excellent bactericidal, fungicidal and sporicidal results whilst being safe & easy to use.


 

Operator Hygiene

Scotmas have worked in conjunction with leading manufacturers of personal care products in order to integrate the biocidal power of Hysan into a range of operator hygiene products that are both effective and pleasant to use.

Unlike many sanitizing products in use in the food industry, the Hysan range contains no added alcohol, that can cause skin drying and chaffing during frequent use.

The Hysan personal care range includes biocidal soaps, sanitizing gels and hard surface wipes suitable for workstation cleanups.

Other products from the Scotmas Building Services range may be used in the plant to combat common problems such as odour control, washroom hygiene and drain maintenance.
