SALMON PRODUCERS
USING ALVAR
ALVAR's revolutionary disinfection technology offers an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for food processors. We understand that each food sector has unique challenges. Our versatile system is designed to address these challenges and optimize hygiene processes for each industry
CHALLENGES IN
SALMON
PROCESSING
Listeriosis outbreaks are a major concern in the salmon processing industry, with two primary sources of contamination: Listeria from incoming fish and harborage within processing facilities. Identifying and eliminating persistent Listeria can be time-consuming, leading to product recalls and significant financial losses. Furthermore, the industry faces hurdles like labor shortages in certain regions and the growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices

AUTOMATING THE
DISINFECTION
PROCESS
Maintaining hygiene in food processing facilities is critical, yet manual disinfection is a time-consuming and error-prone task. Manual disinfection typically accounts for 20-30% of the total hygiene process. ALVAR automates the disinfection step, with the consequent savings in labour costs. Automation also eliminates human error and mitigates the impact of labour shortages
IMPROVED
SUSTAINABILITY
ALVAR's misting technology uses 90% less water and 70% fewer disinfectant chemicals compared to traditional methods. This translates to substantial cost savings and reduced environmental impact for food processing facilities
DISINFECTION
INSIDE ENCLOSED
MACHINERY
Enclosed machinery, like gutting machines, cutting 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
