You know it from the supermarket or the fish shop: fresh food is cooled with ice. It is obvious that increased hygiene requirements are placed on this ice cream. With Clean-Ice, HEMA has developed a reliable and at the same time simple solution.

Clean-Ice works on the basis of ozone (O3). The Clean Ice system is installed directly in the water inlet to the ice machine. Using electrolysis and a special membrane, ozone is produced in the system from the oxygen (O2) contained in the water. This means that the water in the flow is ozonated and then flows into the ice making process. There it is frozen into ice, collected in the collecting container, then removed and placed in the refrigerated counters to cool the food.

Highly effective sanitation
Ozone dissolves throughout the entire process and develops its cleaning effect in the various processing stages. Not only the water, but the entire system is sanitized with the help of ozone. This means that pipes, tanks, ice production, storage containers as well as the fresh food counter and equipment remain germ-free for longer. Harmful biofilms are removed and their new formation is effectively prevented. The ozone concentration remains below the permissible limits.

Chemically speaking, ozone is enriched oxygen and is approved as a natural, highly effective disinfectant in food hygiene according to the German Drinking Water Ordinance §11. Due to its high oxidation potential, ozone effectively breaks down germs and bacteria. It then breaks down again into oxygen. With the help of ozonated water, the Clean Ice system eliminates 99.99% of germs and bacteria in ice machines and guarantees absolutely gentle sanitation. Chemicals are not used to create or deplete ozone.

Used hundreds of times
Clean Ice technology has already been successfully used hundreds of times in the food industry. The effectiveness of the system has also been proven in tests by independent institutes. Clean-Ice by HEMA is compatible with any ice machine that has a water flow.
