Ice machine operators have been fighting a losing battle against slime in their ice machines.
The only thing they can do to fight it is to try and sanitize and clean their machines often enough to prevent slime in the ice machine from building up.
But no matter what they do, the slime will grow.
Slime is a substance within an ice machine that is composed of yeast, mold, biofilm, organic growth, and biological pollution.
It has a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes based on the exact combination of the contaminants that make it up. No matter what it looks like, it is unpleasant. And, unfortunately, it is inevitable.
Slime occurs within ice machines because ice machines offer everything that slime needs to grow.
Fouling in the ice machine can be the result of even a single colony forming unit of contamination present in the surrounding air that enters the ice machine.
Within an ice machine, temperatures can range from 41° to 145°F, moisture is present, and sufficient nourishment is provided in the ambient air. This set of circumstances is perfect for slime to grow and thrive in.
Unfortunately, the only step that most ice machine operators take to stop the spread of slime is frequent cleanings. Cleaning an ice machine, however, takes hours and is labor intensive.
Most ice machines aren’t cleaned often enough to stop slime from spreading.
IceZone, a multi-patented Clean-In-Place (CIP) food equipment sanitation system, can help ice machine owners take a stand against slime growth.
IceZone prevents slime, mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeast from growing on the surfaces of ice machines.
With no lost hours of productivity or need to remember a schedule, IceZone is the perfect solution because it is automated and continuously operating.
ICEZONE efficiently disperses Photoplasma™ near the water outlet of the ice machine. As water sprays the cuber, convection spreads the Photoplasma™ throughout the machine.
Photoplasma™ treats both the cuber and the bottom of the machine, reaching the storage bin where it is recirculated. This closed-loop system ensures continuous production and recirculation of Photoplasma, preventing the formation of mould, slime, and biofilm.
The outcome? Crystal-clean ice produced by a hygienic ice machine. ICEZONE stands as the most effective solution for ensuring impeccable ice hygiene. It minimizes the need for costly manual cleaning, delivering an impressive return on investment without relying on harsh chemicals, excessive water, or harmful by-products.
