OCS-ORGANIC WASH Fruit & Vegetable Disinfection
Strengthen your wash water with ozone and AOP technology. Reduce pesticide residue and bacterial load and extend shelf life — without leaving chemical residue.
The Problem
Chlorine Washing Doesn't Provide Enough Protection
Chlorinated wash water is standard practice in fruit and vegetable processing facilities. But chlorine removes pesticide residues only to a limited degree, can leave residue on the product surface and can negatively affect taste/odor.
Limited Pesticide Removal
Chlorine can't effectively remove pesticide residues on the surface.
Chemical Residue
Chlorine residue can remain on the product surface and hurt consumer perception.
Microbial Resistance
Some pathogens can develop resistance to chlorine.
Short Shelf Life
Insufficient disinfection can't fully remove the microbial load that shortens shelf life.
System Concept
Ozone- and AOP-Enhanced Washing
OCS-ORGANIC WASH is a four-stage system integrated into your wash water.
Product & Water Analysis
The processed product type, current wash-water volume and contamination profile are assessed.
Ozone Injection Design
Venturi-based ozone injection is integrated into the wash line.
AOP Enhancement (Optional)
An ozone + UV combination is applied for products with high pesticide load.
Residual Ozone Control
Residual ozone is zeroed in the water reaching the product and packaging.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No — applied at the correct dose, ozone preserves product quality. The dose is set specifically by product type.
It's recommended for products with high pesticide-residue risk or where export standards are stricter.
Yes — the venturi injection system integrates into your existing wash line.
It depends on the pesticide type and initial concentration. A realistic target is set after a site analysis.
Yes — because ozone leaves no chemical residue, it's compatible with organic certification standards.
