Our technology involves an efficient and environmentally friendly way of disinfecting food processing facilities. However, each food sector faces particular challenges and ALVAR assists in different ways to overcome them
CHALLENGES IN POULTRY PROCESSING
Salmonella and Listeria are the most common reason for recalling poultry products. Even though bacteria get killed by proper heat treatment, cross-contamination may happen when bacteria are found in the raw meat handled by customers in their kitchens. Besides putting consumers at risk, product recalls can lead to tremendous financial and reputational damage, lower selling prices and loss of clients As in other sectors, additional challenges in poultry processing are the lack of available workforce in some geographical areas and the aim of improving the sustainability of their operations
Innovation that replaces manual disinfection
Our technology introduces improvements in the sanitation process by automating the disinfection
Every processing area is different, but it can be estimated that manual disinfection of 3000m2 requires 2.5 hours and 2-3 workers. ALVAR automates the disinfection process, with consequent savings in labour costs. Automation also reduces the exposure to human errors and to labour shortages
IMPROVED SUSTAINABILITY
Misting is an optimised method of using water and disinfectant chemicals. Our systems are custom-made, but, on average, we reduce the consumption of water by 90% and of chemicals by 70% during the disinfection process
DISINFECTION INSIDE ENCLOSED MACHINERY
Enclosed machinery, like deboning machines or filleting machines, can be particularly challenging when it comes to sanitation. Hard to reach areas, hidden surfaces and gaps in the machinery entail a difficult and time consuming task for the cleaning team. ALVAR has developed Mist Focus, a solution to ease and improve the hygiene in complex machinery. Mist Focus automatises the disinfection process by creating a dense disinfectant mist inside the machinery, reaching all areas and gaps. Mist Focus is a great extra protection tool, but a previous proper cleaning is always needed
