A recent article in Food Safety Magazine highlights the revolutionary potential of hydroxyl radical technology in food processing hygiene. This cutting-edge approach, which aligns closely with our XtendaMaX device, offers several key advantages:
Unlike traditional biocides, hydroxyl radicals can sanitise air and surfaces without harmful chemical residues.
The technology can operate during normal production, providing ongoing sanitation without disrupting operations.
Hydroxyl radicals effectively clean ambient air, addressing an often overlooked source of contamination in food processing.
The technology tackles bacteria, viruses, moulds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
At appropriate concentrations, hydroxyl radicals can be used safely around workers without special protective equipment.
Compared to high-intensity air filtration and exchange systems, hydroxyl radical generation can be more cost-effective.
This technology represents a significant advancement in food safety practices, offering a powerful new tool to combat pathogens and maintain hygienic conditions in food processing environments.
