CITRUS FACTS

Wonderful Citrus Reduce Management Overhead and Improve Sanitisation Efficiency with ArcAqua


THE PROBLEM

Wonderful Citrus is the largest integrated grower, packer and shipper of fresh citrus fruits in the United States. They process more than 26 million cartons (245 tonnes per hour) of citrus fruit at their Californian facilities.

The world’s leading citrus pack houses employ a combination of post-harvest cleaning and sanitising techniques to ensure that fruit is safe and lasts for longer. Cleaning alone is insufficient.

The efficacy of a chlorine based sanitising solution is directly related to how well the chlorine concentration and pH levels are managed. Even the best pack houses struggle to continually get the management of these factors right.

THE SOLUTION

June 2017, ArcAqua systems where installed over the brush beds in the pre-sort areas of Wonderful Citrus’ Halos facility. The primary use case was to prove that ArcAqua sanitised the fruit as well as or better than alternative chemical approaches. The secondary use case was to prove that ArcAqua helped to reduce cross- contamination by sanitising the brush beds.

EVALUATION

Initially, Wonderful Citrus tested ArcAqua against various other ozone based and chlorine based solutions. ArcAqua proved to be more effective at sanitisation, preventing brush bed contamination, eliminating chemical management overhead, reducing water usage and leaving no chemical residue.

Wonderful Citrus also analysed the safety aspects of the system. After extensive environmental testing they concluded that ArcAqua was safe to use. Wonderful Citrus made the decision to move forward with ArcAqua and install at their Halos facility.

    REDUCE OPERATIONAL COSTS

    ArcAqua technology delivers ozone, a natural anti-microbial agent, within a fine water spray using less water than a total loss chlorine system. The run-off water can be recycled and reused, thereby reducing the environmental impact and reducing water consumption. Pack line degradation, occasioned by harsh chemicals, is also reduced.

    • Reduces maintenance costs
    • Reduce chemical management and storage costs
    • Reduce effluent management costs
    • Waterwise

    REDUCE RISK

    ArcAqua technology provides remote monitoring and the generation of ozone on demand, to achieve the desired results. With no water pH or water hardness/softness and/or chemical related management concerns, ArcAqua can be used uninterruptedly.

    • Always-on technology
    • Consistency and control
    • A fast-acting solution
    • Averts chemical balance related management
    • Reduces environmental proliferation of chemical residues

    IMPROVE PRODUCT QUALITY

    With our ozone spray, bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeasts, residual chemicals and pesticides are reduced or removed from fresh food products to meet regulated safety requirements.

    • Effective anti-microbial
    • Reduces residuals
    • Extends product shelf-life
    • Avoids organoleptic degradation
    • Supports organic compliance (in the USA)
