A combination of compressed air and water droplets could reduce the incidence of visual contaminants and pathogens at the poultry processing plant, improving food safety. “There is a very strong relationship between visual hygiene, visual contaminants and the presence of pathogens and bacterial loads in general,” said Twan Koenen, undine process expert, Innovative Water Concepts. “We mix air and water into microdroplets that are the same size as bacteria such as Salmonella, for example. That allows us to access the bacteria where it’s hidden.”
At the 2023 Poultry Tech Summit, Koenen will talk about how the inversion water cleaning method can increase the effectiveness of cleaning in poultry processing plants, while reducing the amount of water needed. The Poultry Tech Summit, scheduled for November 6-8 at the Hilton Atlanta Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, focuses on the transition of innovative technologies into commercial applications to advance the poultry industry.
