Food Processing
Usage of a distinctive concentration of chlorine dioxide provides specific
microbiological control for the food and beverage industry, such as brewing and
bottling, washing fruit and vegetables, poultry and meat processing, fish processing and
dairy plants. Chlorine dioxide does not react with most “organics” in flume water; this
makes it a very effective disinfectant. It is also an excellent odor neutralizer, helping
neutralize foul smelling odors including secondary and tertiary amines formed in the
meat packing industry.
Some of the possible food processing markets where Dutrion products can be applied are:
● Fruit and vegetable processing
● Poultry processing
● Food contact paper manufacture
● Cleaning pasteurizers, warmers and coolers
● Disinfection of packing operations
● Flume water control
● Water treatment
● Equipment disinfection
● Disinfection of tankers, vehicles and transportation vessels
● Cleaning in place (CIP) and sanitizing operations
Active chlorine dioxide can be very effective when used as the final sanitizing rinse in
CIP systems, including filler rooms. It is typically applied at low concentrations with a
short contact time. Chlorine dioxide leaves no toxic residues to interfere with other
chemical/biochemical processes. Furthermore, chlorine works quickly and breaks down
into inert compounds. Its unique chemistry produces no toxic by-products (such as
THM’s) and chlorine dioxide is therefore an environmentally friendly alternative to
traditional sanitizers.
Other examples of sanitizing applications for Dutrion products are:
Dutrion products can also be used for cleaning pasteurizers, bottle/can warmers and
coolers. In bakeries, Dutrion products can be used as chain and conveyor spray.
Moreover, they can be used for washing crates, bottles and the hands of staff members.
Dutrion products can be applied for water purification and disinfection of water
distribution and storage tanks. Furthermore, they can be used for mould and odor
control. Another application of Dutrion products is sanitation of tanker trucks, wagons
and transportation vessels.
There are many more applications of Dutrion products for food processing. Please ask
one of our local agents or forward us a contact sheet if you are considering using
Dutrion products for your application. Use the Dutrion products only according to local
registered label claims.
