Jimco A/S is launching a new compact disinfection system in the Middle East
Jimco A/S, supplier of industrial environmental technology, is launching the FLO-D® Mini System that is based on UV-C technology. The system facilitates automatic and chemical-free disinfection of production areas, so that food manufacturers can avoid microorganisms like listeria and salmonella.
Contamination of grain, seeds or spices is a well-known problem in food processing environments with high temperatures or high humidity. At Gulfood Manufacturing 2015, Jimco A/S is launching the FLO-D® Mini System in the Middle East. The mobile disinfection solution is suitable for use in surfaces and whole production areas in the food industry.
The FLO-D is the result of a collaboration between Jimco, the DHI consultancy, the University of Southern Denmark and several food companies.
“Normally, it requires a manual treatment to disinfect surfaces. With the technology, FLO-D® Mini, the process is totally automated. You achieve more effective disinfection while saving manpower, water, chemicals and energy. In addition, you prevent corrosion and avoid discharging chlorinated sewage. Usually, you are able to cut down labour costs and resources, so that return of investment is usually possible in less than one year,” explains Jimmy K. Larsen, CEO of Jimco A/S.
System against unfortunate microorganisms
The Mini System is based on the existing system, FLO-D®, which is commonly used in the food processing industry. According to Jimmy K. Larsen, the system ensures effective disinfection and enables food companies to safeguard themselves against unfortunate microorganisms.
“Tests performed in collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark document that FLO-D® breaks down e.g. listeria and salmonella microorganisms in large production facilities to almost nothing,” he adds.
Jimco A/S has taken out a patent on the UV-C technology, which the new system is based on. The technology has been awarded the EU Environmental Prize, and is today applied by, among others, commercial kitchens, hospitals and supermarkets as in private homes worldwide.
