Be The Better Brewery
Frementation professionals understand the benefits of ozone as a safe, organic disinfection tool that can replace traditional or harsh disinfection products
Organic
Ozone is an organic disinfectant used in the winery, brewery, and cidery that produces a more desirable product through the control of bacteria, molds, and other microbes. Use it to wash down wall, floors, equipment, transfer lines, fermentation tanks, and to rinse barrels and bottles with just the push of a button. It can also be used to treat well-water providing safe, oxygen rich water for all processes.
Advantages
• Ozone is a cold sanitizer which saves energy, extends barrel flavors, and minimizes bottling line maintenance costs and cool down cycles.
• Ozone produced on-site, minimizing the purchase, storing, mixing and disposal of chemicals
• Ozone destroys objectionable taste and odor causing compounds
• Ozone is pH neutral.
• Ozone is compatible with organic food processing.
• Ozone is faster and better at killing microbes than chlorine.
• Ozone requires no rinsing after sanitation, saving time, water, and energy.
Applications
Final rinse/surface disinfection of:
• Barrels
• Tanks
• Bottling equipment
• Walls/floors
• Transfer lines
• Drains
• Pumps
• Apple washing
• Process equipment
