FEM introduces the Pentair Everpure Oxidice ozone sanitation system
The importance of keeping the inside of ice machines clean and sanitised is well known. Even at cold temperatures, moisture creates a friendly environment for bacteria. To combat the build-up of biofilm, commonly known as slime and mould, in ice machines FEM (Foodservice Equipment Market) has introduced the Pentair EverpureOxidice ozone sanitation system.
Oxidice is a compact disinfection system that treats the entire ice machine from the inside, attacking biofilm at its source. Routine cleaning doesn’t stop biofilm from growing or forming and once present it takes time and money to resolve. However, Oxidice generates ozone to treat the inside of the ice machine. It helps reduce the growth of bacteria, moulds, yeast, and other contaminants by treating the air, water, and surfaces within the ice machine without leaving any residues or taste tainting.
By using the Oxidice system, the time between general maintenance and routine cleaning can be extended while still producing high quality ice at all times. The system is quick and easy to install and sits on the outside of the machine where easily visible LED indicators show the status of the system. There are no chemicals involved so there is nothing to refill or rechange.
The Oxidice system can be used with most ice machines and is especially effective in cube ice machines. The ozone production time can be increased or decreased based on the ice maker’s production rate within a 24-hour period, and the environment in which the ice maker is used. Overall dimensions are 14.2 cm x 25.4 cm x 9.14 cm. It is supplied with a one year parts and labour warranty.
