One-stop water disinfecting solution for food and beverage sector
Grundfos pump solutions for the food and beverage sector include the Oxiperm Pro disinfection system
Hygiene is a key priority in the beverage sector and pumps used in breweries, distilleries, wineries and soft drink plants are essential for disinfecting water in these facilities.
Grundfos pumps offer an innovative system that creates a diluted chlorine dioxide solution from sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid, disinfecting the water supply and allowing pipelines in a plant to be reliably cleaned in between production batches. The use of chlorine dioxide ensures that the water is safe and hygienic without affecting its taste or smell, which is imperative in the beverage industry.
“Our offering includes the sophisticated Oxiperm Pro disinfection system,” says Grundfos associate sales engineer Raymond Makgoga. “This is a one-stop chlorine dioxide generator that facilitates effective and efficient cleaning-in-place solutions.”
Grundfos lead key account manager OEM South Africa Dean Naidoo notes that the system has been tried and tested in many food and beverage applications, including providing high quality drinking water for corporate drinking fountains.
“The accuracy of the dosing system supports the responsible use of water when cleaning and sanitising the inside of pipes,” says Naidoo. “By ensuring the correct chemical strength, the user can optimise the water volumes that must be passed through the plant pipelines to remove microbes.”
Water can even be recirculated through the Oxiperm Pro at a higher strength if pipeline testing indicates that the sanitation standard is not yet achieved, he says.
The componentry of the Oxiperm Pro includes three smart digital dosing pumps, a reactor and controller. Designed to resist chemical corrosion, the system includes specially selected materials like Teflon, ceramics and polyethylene. Colour-coding is used to enhance safety and ease of use, with red specifying hydrochloric acid and blue for sodium chlorite, to help eliminate confusion and enhance safety.
