TRUSTED BY GLOBAL LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY
ALVAR reduces production and reputational risks, increases food safety and reduces waste of water and chemicals. ALVAR Mist Core can disinfect a 6000 square meter processing plant in 15-30 minutes, saving 90% of water, 70% of chemicals and 100% of labour costs during the disinfection process. Lower bacteria levels can, under certain conditions, increase the product shelf-life with the consequent reduction of food-waste
