Increasingly, companies within the food processing industry are embracing the financial, environmental and commercial benefits of employing Electro-chemically Activated Water (ECA).

A natural process

When compared to conventional disinfectants and detergents, ECA uses only natural elements in the activation process, and has been repeatedly proven to be completely safe and non-toxic to humans - while at the same time being highly effective for the control of bacteria, spores, viruses, fungi, yeast (wild strains) and moulds.

Specific applications

ECA solutions can be applied as a spray, wash rinse or fog directly onto surfaces, bottles, hands and processing equipment to prevent cross-contamination and to achieve effective disinfection. Additionally it can be added to ingredient water to enhance product bio-security.

The Radical Waters choice

Both the disinfectant and detergent solutions are SA Bureau of Standards (SABS) approved, providing a powerful, safe, fast and effective natural alternative to conventional cleaning and disinfection.

ECA Solutions:

• Can be applied as a pre-production disinfectant without disrupting current processing protocols.
• Are easy to use.
• Can be used as a "real-time" sanitation tool.
• In the beverage environment is wholly safe and effective against acidophilic and thermo-tolerant fungi and bacteria, including sporulated stages.

Benefits

• Improved microbial efficacy
• Overall reduction in CIP time
• Substitution of traditional chemicals
• Reduction in water usage due to exclusion of rinse steps
• Improved effluent management
