The innovative application and significant advantages of hypochlorous acid generators in the pre-prepared foods production and processing

2025-07-24 16:37:47

Hypochlorous acid generator is a highly efficient disinfection equipment that converts salt solution (NaCl) or hydrochloric acid (HCL) into hypochlorous acid (HOCL) aqueous solution through electrolysis technology. This equipment can produce hypochlorous acid solution with strong bactericidal ability on site as required. The concentration is usually between 50-200PPM, and the pH value is controlled in the weak acid range of 5.0-6.5, making its bactericidal efficiency more than 80 times higher than that of traditional chlorine-containing disinfectants. In the field of food processing, especially the pre-prepared food processing industry, hypochlorous acid generators are gradually replacing traditional chemical disinfectants and becoming key technical equipment to ensure food safety. Its core advantage is that it can provide fresh hypochlorous acid, adjustable concentration, and no harmful residue disinfection solutions, which perfectly meet the strict requirements of pre-prepared food processing for hygiene and safety.

1. Excellent sterilization performance

Broad-spectrum and efficient sterilization: The killing rate of foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus can reach 99.99%, and it also has a significant inactivation effect on common foodborne viruses such as Norovirus

Quick action: Surface disinfection can usually be completed within 30 seconds, greatly shortening the time required for traditional disinfection processes

Biofilm removal ability: Effectively penetrate and remove biofilms formed on the surface of equipment, solving stubborn pollution problems that traditional disinfectants are difficult to deal with

2. Food safety guarantee

No harmful residues: The decomposition products are water and trace salts, without carcinogenic byproducts such as chloroform, which meets FDA and GB2760 food safety standards

Does not affect food quality: It will not change the color, texture and flavor of the ingredients, especially suitable for ready-to-eat Treatment of prefabricated products

Reducing chemical additives: can reduce the use of preservatives in the production process, meeting the trend of clean labels

3. Significant economic benefits

Low operating costs: the raw materials are only salt or dilute hydrochloric acid, and the cost of each ton of disinfectant is less than 5 yuan

High degree of automation: can be integrated into the CIP system to reduce manual operation links and errors

Extended shelf life: the microbial indicators of the treated products are better, and the shelf life can be extended by 15-30%

4. Environmentally friendly and sustainable

Environmentally friendly: no toxic substances are discharged, and wastewater treatment is simple

Reducing packaging waste: on-site preparation eliminates the packaging and transportation links of commercial disinfectants

Energy-saving design: modern generators consume 30% less energy than traditional ozone disinfection systems

1. After a large domestic pre-prepared food production enterprise introduced a hypochlorous acid generator, it achieved remarkable results

image/2025/07/241753396367.webp

Product microbiological qualification rate increased from 92.3% to 99.8%

Customer complaint rate decreased by 76%

Disinfection cost decreased by 58%

Wastewater treatment cost decreased by 40%

Successfully passed HACCP and BRC certification audits

2. A market research in Japan shows that the pre-prepared food factories that adopt the hypochlorous acid technology outperform those using the traditional methods.

The product recall rate has decreased by 90%
The equipment downtime for cleaning has been reduced by 35%
The efficiency of employee hygiene management has increased by 50%

The development trend of hypochlorous acid generators in the field of pre-prepared food. 

Hypochlorous acid generator technology provides a safe, economical, and efficient disinfection solution for the pre-prepared food industry, ensuring food safety from raw materials to finished products. With technological progress and increased awareness, this technology is expected to become a standard configuration for pre-prepared food production, helping the industry achieve sustainable development with "equal emphasis on safety and quality". It is recommended that pre-prepared food manufacturers scientifically design hypochlorous acid application solutions based on their own product characteristics and process requirements, and give full play to its strategic value in product quality improvement and brand building.
