Purfresh for Sanitization™
Kill mold, viruses and bacteria effectively without the use of chemicals
 Food safety is one of today’s biggest public health and confidence issues. Food-borne pathogens, such as E.Coli, Listeria and Salmonella, can easily transfer from food products to the surface of process equipment. To combat process equipment contamination, powerful chemicals have typically been used to sanitize exposed surfaces, inside piping and other hard to reach areas. These chemicals, including quaternary ammonia, chlorine and per acid, that while effective, are dangerous to people and the environment, costly to purchase and dispose, require extra rinse steps and waste, and are often quite corrosive to equipment. Ozone is the safest and most natural purification and disinfection agent for CIP applications, and is over 50 times as powerful and 3,000 times as fast at killing bacteria than chlorine.
Science-based Solution
Purfresh’s science-based ozone solution works with existing process equipment on surfaces or in CIP environments. The environmentally friendly solution effectively kills a broad spectrum of pathogens. Purfresh’s specialized contacting equipment allows for the highest concentrations of dissolved ozone in the industry. In addition, microcontrollers and monitors are available for maintaining precise ozone concentrations. Components are standardized and modular for minimizing maintenance costs. It is easy to install, operate and maintain. The solution integrates easily into existing equipment and processes, and leaves no residue and is not corrosive to equipment at recommended operating levels.
Optimum Safety and Efficacy
Ozone is the safest and most natural purification and disinfection agent. It is over 50 times as powerful and 3,000 times as fast at killing bacteria than chlorine. Purfresh’s sanitization solution carefully controls the ozone concentration ensuring effective pathogen control while protecting product, people and equipment. Purfresh’s ambient sensors ensure safe ozone levels in common work areas. Ozone is approved by the FDA and USDA as a food contact substance and is certified organic.
Highlights
- Reduce or eliminate many surface sanitization and CIP chemicals such as oxidizers
- Save money by reducing chemical purchases, decreasing waste disposal and eliminating rinse steps
- Comply with highly regulated chemical restrictions and legislation
- Extend the life of equipment by replacing more corrosive compounds such as chlorine
- Align with consumer demands of fewer harmful chemicals in contact with food and in the environment

Ozone Advantages
Ozone is the safest and most natural purification and disinfection agent for fresh produce. It is approved by the FDA and USDA as a food contact substance and is certified organic.
Ozone’s method of action is to destroy the cell wall of the organism upon contact. Because it works instantly, ozone does not enable the development of resistant pathogen strains, an increasing problem for the produce industry.
Generated from the oxygen in air, ozone reverts to pure oxygen after doing its job, leaving no residue on produce. Ozone is made on-site; no delivery or storage of toxic chemicals required. At the levels Purfresh recommends, ozone is safe for people, product, equipment and the environment. |
