CMP Manufactures a unique Ozone wash conveyor. Fruit is immersed in ozonated water in 3 stages for a combined 40 seconds of contact time with fresh ozonated water delivered at each stage to maximize the reduction reaction to control biologicals prior to freezing. Fresh ozonated water is introduced at each stage and drained completely prior to the next stage of wash. This staged emersion system is significantly more effective than standard spray based systems.
