The application

Autoclave disinfection for canned food safety

Controlled Anolyte dosing replaces an older chlorination setup for mains water and autoclave operation.

Problem

A large canned-food producer needed to replace an outdated chlorination system that caused damage and operational constraints, while maintaining effective disinfection.

Solution

Voigtländer provided a non-toxic, non-corrosive sterilisation system. Mains water is disinfected with Anolyte at 0.6 ppm, controlled by a decentralised hub, with automatic data forwarding for audits.

Results

  • Toxic chlorination chemicals eliminated
  • Contamination risks and related costs reduced
  • Automated sterilisation for 3 autoclaves
  • Manual intervention reduced

Project scope

  • Provide on-site sterilisation
  • Disinfect mains water precisely
  • Automate data logging
  • Improve sterilisation efficiency

Scope of the results

What this project shows and what it cannot promise.

An installation, evaluated within its own operating context.

Shown here

  • Voigtländer water hygiene applied to industrial process hygiene.
  • Autoclaves serviced: 3 autoclaves
  • Anolyte concentration: 0.6 ppm

Not a general guarantee

  • Results and capacities cannot be transferred to another water composition or operating regime without assessment.
  • Design and expected performance for a new site depend on its own water analysis and process conditions.
