Ozone generators to produce disinfectant water for washing down
Use of ozone for washing down and surface disinfection
Ozone has become a powerful tool for sanitizing and optimizing CIP (Clean-in-place) systems in all types of food and bottling industries. Ozone is a powerful disinfectant that removes all kinds of pathogens and biofilm from pipes. However, its real advantage lies in the savings it causes. It reduces the consumption of chemicals and hot water, the times and number of rinses, the quantity and also the level of contamination of discharges.
Ozone leaves no residue that could alter your recipes or products. In addition, this gas is generated in-situ, so it does not need to be transported, stored or handled. The system works fully automatically and does not require manual labor. You have a guarantee of disinfection, real-time measurements, and considerable savings compared to traditional systems.

Ozone is generated on-site, there is no need to store or transport chemicals
Ozone leaves no residue, does not alter your recipe and reduces spills
The system works automatically, does not require labor
Why use ozone for washing and disinfecting surfaces?
Do you have problems with resistant bacteria?
Do you need long contact times to achieve your goals?
Do you want to eliminate rinsing steps?
Do you want to generate less and higher quality wastewater?
Do you want to reduce cleaning and disinfection times?
Do you want to save time and money in your cleaning process?
Do you want to reduce the chemicals used in your process?
Advantages of using ozonated water for surface disinfection
Elimination of resistant bacteria
Ozone is a powerful oxidant, and when dissolved in water, it quickly eliminates all types of pathogens, with an effectiveness far superior to conventional systems. There are no ozone-resistant bacteria.
Save water, energy and chemicals
You can disinfect your surfaces while reducing chemical use, thanks to ozone's high disinfection efficacy. You’ll reduce energy, water, and chemical consumption.
Reduce cleaning times
If you use ozone in your process, you will reduce time, as rinsing is not required. There is no need to rinse ozonated water.
No residues, it transforms into oxygen
Ozone has a very high disinfection potential, but it has a low residual effect (it does not last over time). It transforms into oxygen after a few minutes and prevents your recipe from being altered.
More profitable and less risk
If you save chemicals, water, time and energy every day, you are reducing your operating costs. Also, your system will be more reliable and your customers will appreciate as you will reduce the risks of your products being contaminated by chemicals.
Reduces and improves discharges
By installing an ozone system in your washing lines, you’ll completely eliminate the discharge of chemicals into the sewer system, and reduce water and energy use, thereby lowering your environmental impact and carbon footprint.
What type of ozone generator is used for surface disinfection?
Here are the ranges of ozone generators for use in your surface disinfection system.
What is the difference between the ranges?
For surface disinfection with ozonated water, we offer different alternatives that are recommended depending on the type of industry and the specific need.
The HIDRO GP is a portable generator with a 20 g/h capacity that allows for quick shock disinfections with ozonated water. It can be moved to any treatment point in your facility.
The GHBBZO range is designed for small flow rates but for fixed installation.
The HIDRO VT GZO and GRZO ranges are the most recommended for industries with high flow rates and continuous use.
How much ozone do I need?
Depending on the project and need, you will need at least 1 ppm of dissolved ozone; to achieve this, a minimum of 2 grams per cubic meter of water to be treated must be applied. Some projects require very high dissolved ozone levels due to the type of contamination — please consult our specialists for such cases.
