How To Reduce Rinse Time and Water Use Without Risking Food Safety

Food safety is critical to the success of your business. Yet, in any drive to remain competitive, you could be sacrificing food safety to pressures to achieve more efficiency, sustainability, and productivity. Doing more with less increasingly defines your production day. Your goal? More productivity, but achieved in less time, using less chemicals, and less water. 

An Impossible Challenge?

Sometimes it feels an impossible challenge. Your hygiene program is already designed to meet/exceed regulatory standards necessary to ensure food safety. However, with water scarcity, climate change, and new product expectations, the requirements of retailers, consumers, and regulatory bodies are also changing, driving demands for higher standards.

Is Compromise The Answer?

You have three options - none of them ideal.

  • You can meet higher standards with specific chemistry, increasing rinsing time and water consumption. 

  • You can meet water savings targets, risking residues and wastewater costs. 

  • You could aim to save time, and risk impacting hygiene standards.

Jeopardizing hygiene standards in the pursuit of resource savings and production time can easily lead to lower quality products, consumer dissatisfaction and product recall. Achieving the right balance requires an innovative solution that challenges traditional cleaning procedures while harnessing the power of nature to deliver the results you need. 

No Rinse, No Residue?

Cleaning procedures have always incorporated rinse steps. Pre-rinse, between steps, and a final residue removal rinse before production commences. What if a final rinse isn't necessary? What if instead, you use naturally occurring ingredients in our biocides to remove the requirement for rinsing? What if you could improve hygiene results and eliminate the risk of biocide residues?

Take Back Cleaning and Sanitation Time for Production

Divosan Dew's innovative approach enables these choices. Its formulation offers a better way, removing the requirement for a final rinse, with no risk of chemical residues associated with traditional biocides based on Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Hypochlorite, or Akylamines.  Realizing water savings is now a priority for any responsible producer. Divosan Dew's rinse-free application and streamlined process naturally saves water and time, with benefits from reduced wastewater, and less chemical components requiring water treatment. Your cleaning cycle cuts into available production time with significant cost, especially if you have capacity constraints. Divosan Dew releases time back from your cleaning schedule, turning it into profitable production capacity, without impacting food safety.
