The pet food factory uses hypochlorous acid for high-standard disinfection.

2026-01-29 18:32:54

With increasing global awareness of pet health, the safety and quality of pet food have become the lifeline for factories' survival and export competitiveness. Traditional chemical disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite) have drawbacks such as residue, irritation, and instability, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent food safety regulations. Now, we bring you a revolutionary disinfection technology—hypochlorous acid (HClO) generators—enabling a new, safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly disinfection model that allows for on-site production and use, helping your pet food factory reach international high standards.

III. Input-Output Ratio and Cost Accounting

Although there is an initial investment in the equipment, the long-term operating cost of hypochlorous acid generators is extremely low, and the benefits far exceed those of traditional methods.

1. Cost Accounting: Extremely Low Operating Costs

The generator's main raw materials are water and a small amount of salt (soft water salt), with low power consumption. Equipment operating costs include water and electricity costs + salt consumption costs. Producing 1000L of 100ppm HCl water requires only 0.33kg of salt and 3kW of electricity. The production cost per liter of hypochlorous acid water is only a few cents RMB, far lower than the cost of purchasing finished disinfectant.

2. Return on Investment (ROI): Significant long-term benefits.

IV. International Competitiveness and Export Prospect Analysis

In the international pet food market, hygiene standards are a significant trade barrier. Hypochlorous acid disinfection technology has been widely used and officially recognized in the food processing and medical fields of developed countries (such as Japan and the United States).

International Certification Advantages: Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is recognized by agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (PMDA) and can be used as a food contact disinfectant.

Export Compliance: Using hypochlorous acid for disinfection ensures that pet food meets high standards of no chemical residues and excellent microbiological indicators during the production process, easily passing export inspection and quarantine, and earning the product an international label of "safe and high-quality". Setting a Benchmark: Being the first to introduce hypochlorous acid generators demonstrates the factory's zero-tolerance attitude towards food safety and gives it a competitive edge in international trade negotiations.

V. Equipment Selection Recommendations

When selecting equipment, consider the following key factors based on your factory's scale and disinfection needs:

1. Production Capacity (L/h): Determine the hourly hypochlorous acid water requirement based on the amount of food processed at the front end, the frequency and area of equipment cleaning, and the back end's environmental atomization needs. Costs can be reduced by using a hypochlorous acid generator combined with automated production and storage systems.

2. Effective Chlorine Concentration (ppm): Food Contact Cleaning: Recommended <60ppm (specific concentration must comply with local regulations). Environmental/Equipment Disinfection: Recommended <200ppm. Selection: Prioritize equipment with stable and adjustable concentrations to meet the precise needs of different stages.

3. Electrolysis Method: Common methods include diaphragm electrolysis and non-diaphragm electrolysis. Choose according to actual needs.

4. Automation and Integration: Prefer integrated equipment with automatic operation, remote monitoring, and fault alarm functions to reduce manual intervention and ensure continuous and stable water supply.
