Leading Edge Technology High technology products, designed specifically for the food industry, for purifying the air which surrounds your food produce and related equipment: Controls airborne micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, etc) including common pathogens such as E Coli, Salmonella and Listeria. Also controls microbes on surfaces of equipment and food stuffs. (But does not enter the food). Significantly increases the shelf/storage life of many foods, by reducing decay and ripening rates. Reduces the levels of ethylene, which is generated by ageing fruits and vegetables. Eliminates odours. (But does not affect the natural fragrances of foods or plants). Retards growth of fungi, moulds and algae. Removes off-tastes from products such as corks. Controls pests such as weevils in grain and flour. Ozone really is the ideal airborne sanitiser for the food industry. It leaves no chemical residue and is generally harmless to foods. It requires no consumables as it is generated on-site. Used in Europe for 100 years, it is now being rapidly introduced in the USA, Australia and Japan. Ozone was approved by the USA FDA for use in the food industry in 1997 and for bottled water in 1982. Ozone is approved as a food processing aid in Australia, Japan, the EEC and the USA. Ozone uses only quality corona discharge technologies. We never use UV methods as they are unsafe and unreliable. Approximately 30% of all foods are lost by microbial spoilage between harvest and consumption. Join the ozone revolution to protect your food investment.		How Ozone and Ions Work Ozone and ions are very effective when generated together. Unfortunately, cheap products make only one or the other. Recent international research proves that combined ozone and ions can control microbes and odours up to four times better than just ozone or just ions. Ozone is made by passing oxygen through an electric (plasma) field. Ozone eliminates microbes by a process of protein restructuring and removes odours by a process of oxidation. It is also 50% stronger than chlorine and kills bacteria 3,000 times faster. Then it converts back into pure oxygen, leaving no chemical residues whatsoever. Ions are charged particles generated from air. Ions remove airborne dust by coalescing it together with charged particles and making it fall to the ground. This also restores ion balance (from 100 ions per cm3 found in warehouses, to 3,000 per cm3 found in country areas).

Model CF1 - CF1-1500, CF1-4000, CF1-8000 The CF1 is rich with great features, many of which are truly unique: Combination ozone and ion electronics. This yields the four benefits of control of odours, microbes, dust and ion balance. Carry handle and two 100mm spigots for hose connection. Three-layer laminated case: plastic for electrical insulation, metal for robustness, and a polymer finish. Electrical certifications, including EMI approval. Patented Plasma Ozone Emitters, featuring ultra-thin silicon alloy laminate - microchip technology. Also the active electrode is removed from the airstream. Safety microswitch. Circulation fan with 2 stage inlet filter. Variable ozone output, variable air flow output. Cyclical timer, allowing operation programming. Extra long-life design, with component lives up to 10 times that of cheap alternative products.

Model CC1 The CC1 is simply a smaller version, suitable for smaller jobs such as boning rooms. Or for larger spaces where it is desired to place multiple Air Purifiers around the walls, such as in food storage warehouses.		The ozone emitter configuration can be varied to achieve three different outputs of combined ozone and ions.

Model CF2 - CF2-8000, CF2-16000 The CF2 includes a pleated cartridge filter and extra highflow fan. It is ideal for high output or robust or continuous duty applications. The CF2 is the top-of-the-range. It includes all of the CF1’s features, plus more: Inlet filter with 50,000cm2 area. Washable hydrophobic media, pleated cartridge design, easily removable. High speed fan with high flow rate: 150 litres/second. Polymer/plastic coated finish, for corrosion protection, over an earthed metal case. Wheel kit comprising four castors and a carry handle. Combination ozone and ion electronics (rather than just one or the other). This is essential to yield all four benefits: the control of odours, microbes, dust and ion balance. Includes a 200mm spigot as standard. Spigots and hose can be fitted to the inlet and/or outlet. Variable ozone output, switch controlled. Twin electric circuits with twin switches. Protective fuses, indicator lights.

Applications Air Purifiers are currently widely used in food storage, food transport, food processing and intensive farming.		A selection of common applications are illustrated conceptually by the following diagrams:

Controllers The EZ1 is a cost effective way to measure ozone levels. The treated strips give a colour change indication after 10 minutes. The EZ2 comprises two dishes and growth liquid. Use it to indicate airborne microbe levels before and after ozone treatment.		The EZ3 acts like a thermostat to automatically turn a CF1 or CF2 Purifier on and off to maintain a constant ozone level. Includes an adjustable set point, control station and indicator lights. The EZ4 is a handheld electronic ozone monitor. It includes LED display and battery charger.

Oztec Service Ozone "wrote the book" on Food Industry Air Purification. Extensive documentation includes Issue Papers for end-users and Distributor Guides for approved distributors. Ozone Installers are trained to assist with your product selection and installation techniques. For larger complex jobs the end-user fills in a Fact Finder. Ozone then generates a Sizing Report and when required refers to Oztec - a computer database which records our extensive experience and research.
