New Disinfection Products launched by Food Hygiene Technologies Ltd.

June 8, 2012

The new range of disinfection products will have applications in cooler servicing include tap treatment, drip tray maintenance, cooler body sanitization, cup holder treatment and solutions for facilities.

Food Hygiene Technologies Ltd. Has recently launched a new technology for disinfectants and sanitizers on the market which lengthens the working time of bacteria kill to weeks rather than hours. The patented technology uses a complex mixture of disinfectant components which are effective at very low concentrations and avoid any possibility of acclimatisation which can be a problem with longer-lasting disinfectants.

Applications in cooler servicing include tap treatment, drip tray maintenance, cooler body sanitization and cup holder treatment. Wider applications are possible, for example in the bottling plant for larger surfaces and “hot-spots” such as door handles or push plates and vulnerable parts of the filler such as cap chutes and the capper head.  A whole range of products is available, such as tap sprays, wet wipes and surface sanitizer sprays. These are marketed under the Byotrol® label and available from several suppliers, including Food Hygiene Technologies.

Food Hygiene Technologies, headed by Dr Terry Child, is well known in the UK for providing bottle wash detergents and disinfectants for bottling plants. However, they also provide a range of diagnostic kits. In expanding their range, Pseudalert® from IDEXX will determine the presence or absence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 24hrs using a simple test procedure which can be done by the bottler. This adds to the existing Colilert® testing, making the bottler more self-sufficient. For those who find the yellow positive from Colilert® sometimes difficult to read, they can try Colisure®, which has a distinctive magenta positive. Other rapid test kits are available for TVCs and enterococci. If you want to test the cleanliness of a cleaned surface, either in the bottling plant or during cooler servicing, low-cost ATP meters are available which use a simple swabbing technique and instant read-out from a hand-held reader.
