Thanks to the system’s precise sensor technology, the disinfectant concentration is monitored in real time and automatically adjusted, irrespective of the pH value, temperature, or organic contamination. The technology can be integrated or retrofitted into all KRONEN washing machines, for example into the machines in the HEWA series, which are designed to ensure maximum hygiene and easy cleaning.
The EFSA confirms that continuously monitored water disinfection is essential for food safety in the processing of fresh foods
In a recent scientific expert report, theEuropean Food Safety Authority (EFSA) underlined the fact that in the industrial washing of fresh produce – such as fruit, vegetables, and salad leaves – effective and controlled water disinfection is absolutely essential. Cross-contamination can only be reliably prevented with a combination of disinfection and continuous monitoring.
The benefits for fresh-cut companies: consumer safety, reduced water consumption, and fully automated monitoring
With the KRONEN Citrocide® PLUS System, which fulfills the approach of monitored water disinfection recommended by the EFSA, KRONEN has teamed up with Citrosol to set innovative standards for safety, sustainability, and efficiency in the industrial washing of fresh produce.
Citrocide® PLUS offers a multitude of advantages for companies processing fruit, vegetables, and salad leaves:
Higher microbiological safety of the products
Resource conservation thanks to reduced consumption of fresh water and chemicals
No hazardous by-products – peracetic acid breaks down without leaving any residue
Simple operation and complete process documentation
Approval for use in organic farming and organic food production in the EU and USA
