Core Selling Points & Application Scenarios

1. On‑site electrolytic disinfectant production, eliminates hazardous‑chemical risks
No purchasing, storage or transportation of finished hazardous disinfectant chemicals. Hypochlorous‑acid disinfectant is generated on‑site, removing safety hazards arising from hazardous‑agent storage and transit. Ideal for compliance operations at cold‑chain logistics yards.

2. Stable bactericidal performance under low‑temperature cold‑chain working conditions
Electrolytic hypochlorous acid maintains stable germicidal activity under refrigerated conditions (0‑10 °C) and even freezing environments (≤‑18 °C). It compensates for the performance degradation of traditional disinfectants at low temperatures, perfectly suited for long‑term low‑temperature operation in cold‑chain trucks and cold‑storage warehouses.

3. Food‑grade safety with zero residue, preserves raw‑material quality
Hypochlorous acid is a natural bactericidal substance secreted by human white blood cells. Slightly acidic, mild and non‑irritating with no pungent odour. Once applied on surfaces, it rapidly decomposes back into water without chemical residues. Safe for direct disinfection of food‑contact surfaces for fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat, without damaging food flavour or colour.

4. Full‑chain coverage to block cross‑contamination
Covers cold‑chain vehicles, containers, cold‑storage environments, circulating containers & packaging materials and fresh‑food preservation. Multiple operation modes including atomization, flushing and soaking can be flexibly combined. Effectively prevents cross‑contamination (“pathogen transfer from one cargo load to another”), and significantly cuts spoilage & loss during circulation.

5. Enhanced freshness‑keeping, extends shelf‑life
Hypochlorous‑acid disinfected ice can be applied to cover seafood & aquatic products. As ice melts slowly, it continuously releases available chlorine to inhibit microbial regrowth. Field application data shows bacterial count on high‑value seafood such as tuna can be reduced by over 99.9 %, extending shelf‑life by 4‑5 days. For fruits & vegetables treated by soaking or atomization, storage life can be prolonged by more than 30 %.

6. Flexible installation, retrofittable for new & existing facilities
Compact footprint with quick & simple installation. Can connect to existing atomization, flushing and water‑supply pipelines. No large‑scale civil‑engineering modification required. Suitable for new‑build and retrofitting projects for cold‑chain fleets, cold‑storage warehouses and distribution centres.

7. Customization for international export compliance
Custom‑support for CE and other international certifications. Adaptable to food‑hygiene regulations and power‑supply standards of different overseas countries, meeting export customs‑declaration and inspection requirements.

Application Timing & Recommended Frequency

Key Application Timing

1. Before loading & after unloading: Perform atomization or flushing disinfection for cargo compartments, container inner walls, floors and circulating equipment. Rapidly kill residual pathogenic bacteria and decompose odours caused by spoiled juice residues.

2. During warehousing: Regular atomization & spraying inside cold‑storage rooms to continuously suppress mould and bacteria growth on walls, racks and in air. Maintain clean warehouse environment and reduce storage spoilage.

3. Fresh‑food preservation: Use hypochlorous‑acid disinfected ice for aquatic‑product transportation; soak or atomize fruits & vegetables before warehousing. Continuous bacteriostatic treatment prolongs shelf‑life throughout the whole process.

4. Emergency disinfection: During public‑health incidents or high‑epidemic‑risk periods, increase disinfection frequency for cold‑chain‑related zones and articles per local regulatory requirements, to avoid contamination risk to personnel, environments and food products.

Recommended Operating Frequency

1. Cold‑chain vehicles: Disinfect with 100‑200 ppm hypochlorous‑acid solution by atomization or flushing before each departure and after unloading; ventilate compartments after disinfection.

2. Cold‑storage warehouses: Atomize & spray once per day or per work‑shift for bacteriostasis & deodorization; run full‑unit self‑inspection and deep warehouse sanitization once every week.

3. Circulating equipment: Flush or soak turnover baskets, foam boxes and packaging materials with 50‑100 ppm hypochlorous‑acid water for each inbound‑outbound batch.

4. Fresh‑food preservation: Apply hypochlorous‑acid ice for aquatic‑products as required; soak or atomize fruits & vegetables periodically according to target shelf‑life, and monitor preservation effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does hypochlorous acid retain its disinfection efficiency under low‑temperature conditions?
A: Yes. Electrolytic hypochlorous acid maintains stable bactericidal activity under refrigerated and even freezing conditions. Unlike many traditional disinfectants with sharply reduced efficacy at low temperatures, it fits perfectly for cold‑chain trucks and cold‑storage warehouses operating persistently at low temperatures.

Q: Is hypochlorous‑acid treatment safe for fresh food? Will it leave chemical residues?
A: Safe to use. Hypochlorous acid is a natural germ‑fighting substance produced by human white blood cells. After contacting surfaces, it quickly decomposes into water, leaving zero chemical residues and no pungent smell. It is a food‑contact‑grade disinfectant and can be directly used for disinfection of contact surfaces of fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat.

Q: Will hypochlorous acid damage food taste, colour or quality?
A: No. Hypochlorous acid is mild and non‑irritating. It will not degrade food nutrition, flavour or colour. For preservation purposes, it effectively suppresses microbial reproduction and extends shelf‑life.
