New “Sanitizing Line” from INOX BIM

Ok, let’s skip all the part where i should remind you what happened. I sense you guys know that perfectly well already.

What can be discussed though is “What will change in the future for the Ho.Re.Ca. business as far as concerns safety measures?”. No one knows the answer yet, that’s for sure. Neverthless, we don’t need any crystal ball to say they will be stricter. We hear on a daily basis about safety distance, mandatory facemask wearing and hand-cleaning and so on. That’s why it will be an important part of the foodservice as well as the food processing industry.

INOX BIM has came out with a new line of sanitizing and hygienizing products for Catering and not only that. I’d love you to introduce them briefly (needless to say, i’ll be here for any question you may have. About this topic or not. I’m bored by this bloody lockdown and i wanna chat…)

OZONE SANITIZING CABINET

Ozone is is one of the most powerful disinfectants.It leaves no residual on the surface of equipment or materials, and it can kill or inactive up to 99% of the bacteria (including the most “popular” in professional kitchen as such e-coli, salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, norovirus), killing or damaging virus as such rotavirus and SARS-CoV-1 (yes, the older brother of this current one), fungus and insects.

Ozone Cabinets from INOX BIM are ideal for sanitizing kitchen tools, as well as fruit and vegetables, office equipments, objects in general.

The Standard version feature an Ozone generator, an automatic door closing with magnetic casket that ensure an hermetic closure, which is a necessary condition for safety;

The Professional version, besides having the feature of the standard version, is also equipped with a digital control for: setting temperature, ozone discharges and internal ventilation (ideal for an uniform ventilation), and the Event Log.

REFRIGERATED CABINETS /HOT CABINETS/ COMBINED WITH OZONE

Refrigerated cabinets as you’re used to, but with ozone to sanitize your foodstuff.

Hot cabinets, useful for regenerating food, heating dishes, sterilizing tools, cutlery, or any other object of which sterilization is deemed as necessary. Useful to heat and sanitize towels for wellness centers, to sanitize fruit, vegetables or any loose foodstuff. Or again re-usable cups or shopping bags. So you can keep also Greta happy!

And then Combined cabinets, that have got the features of both Hot and Refrigerated ones, with a functioning temperature that goes from 0 up to +69°C

PORTABLE OZONE GENERATOR

So, ozone again. One of the most effective disinfecting and deodorizing agent available in the market.  Basically (and very shortly) a molecule made of three oxygen atoms that occurs naturally in the earth and that can also be manmade through the “Corona effect” (yeah i know. That’s not the best name it could’ve given, is it?). Ozone decays (the third oxygen atom to breaks apart and reverts back into oxygen) after a short period. On a lower concentration level (which is the one suiting us), it will typically take 30 minutes to 1 hour for ozone to breaks down into breathable oxygen.

The Portable Ozone Generator is conceived for sanitizing indoor environments, especially in the food industry (e.g. laboratories, packaging rooms, food preparation rooms, cold rooms, etc.), as well as in the health sector (clinics, clinics waiting rooms, etc) and automotive.

Being Ozone heavier than air, It will reach places that are not reachable by the ordinary cleaning operations.

The generator has to be placed in a central position in the indoor environment (a room, for instance) to be treated, then once the mechanical timer is turned to decide the desired timing and the ON button is pressed, the generator starts. During the treatment an audible / visual alarm warns the operators outside the room that the treatment is in progress (neither people nor animals can remain inside the treated environment). Once the treatment is finished (about 20-30 minutes), wait another 30-40 minutes to allow time for the ozone to decay (we actually suggest 1hr to be more than sure), after which you can return to the environment by letting it air for a few minutes.

We suggest 30mins for a 400m3 environment (for instance an hotel hall of 125mq) . 20 mins for a 80mq room (which is 240m3 around). 10 mins for a 40mq room. The time of “rest” for letting the ozone decay is always the same (1 hour, as said above), whichever treatment is made. Well, speaking of which, it usually takes 30 minutes for ozone to start settling down and become oxygen again. But the longer you wait, the less likely ozone gases will still be lingering in the room. So, better use those extra minutes for extra care!
