AVOCADO FACTS

Westfalia Tests Leading Sanitisers
and Selects ArcAqua


THE PROBLEM

Westfalia is a leading multinational supplier of avocados to international markets. Before ArcAqua, Westfalia applied Prochloraz to its avocados, ensuring a residual level of less than 5 mg/kg. European markets, however, demanded far lower residual levels. In response, Westfalia attempted to improve sanitisation with cholrine dioxide. This had to be abandoned, however, due to the resulting corrosion of its pack-line, and formation of potentially toxic gas.

THE SOLUTION

In March 2016, Westfalia installed ArcAqua, with over 9 months of compelling data to support their decision.

EVALUATION

The most interesting finding was that before ArcAqua, during the course of a day, the chlorine treatment progressively became less effective (as the brushes became more contaminated). Not only was ArcAqua ozone more effective than chlorine dioxide, the ArcAqua system continually sanitised the brushes and therefore became more effective at microbial reduction as the day progressed.

    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)
