The Problem

Chlorine Washing Doesn't Provide Enough Protection

Chlorinated wash water is standard practice in fruit and vegetable processing facilities. But chlorine removes pesticide residues only to a limited degree, can leave residue on the product surface and can negatively affect taste/odor.

Limited Pesticide Removal

Chlorine can't effectively remove pesticide residues on the surface.

Chemical Residue

Chlorine residue can remain on the product surface and hurt consumer perception.

Microbial Resistance

Some pathogens can develop resistance to chlorine.

Short Shelf Life

Insufficient disinfection can't fully remove the microbial load that shortens shelf life.

System Concept

Ozone- and AOP-Enhanced Washing

OCS-ORGANIC WASH is a four-stage system integrated into your wash water.

1

Product & Water Analysis

The processed product type, current wash-water volume and contamination profile are assessed.

2

Ozone Injection Design

Venturi-based ozone injection is integrated into the wash line.

3

AOP Enhancement (Optional)

An ozone + UV combination is applied for products with high pesticide load.

4

Residual Ozone Control

Residual ozone is zeroed in the water reaching the product and packaging.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ozone change the taste or texture of fruits and vegetables?

No — applied at the correct dose, ozone preserves product quality. The dose is set specifically by product type.

When is AOP (ozone+UV) needed?

It's recommended for products with high pesticide-residue risk or where export standards are stricter.

Can the system be integrated into our existing wash line?

Yes — the venturi injection system integrates into your existing wash line.

How much pesticide-residue reduction can be expected?

It depends on the pesticide type and initial concentration. A realistic target is set after a site analysis.

Is it suitable for organic-certified products?

Yes — because ozone leaves no chemical residue, it's compatible with organic certification standards.
