non-enveloped virus which is more difficult to kill than the lipid-enveloped SARS-CoV-2.”
Despite the massive impact of Coronavirus on the foodservice and hospitality sector, many businesses have diversified by offering deliveries and so infection control and food safety has never been more important. Whilst Coronavirus is understandably dominating the news, operators also need to protect against other dangerous microorganisms as Kristian Roberts, Marketing Manager at Mechline explains:
“Microorganisms can multiply very quickly, spreading infections compromising hygiene standards, causing food to spoil and creating offensive odours. HyGenikx complements operators’ existing hygiene and HACCP procedures, combating airborne viruses and bacteria, stopping their spread and minimising the risks of cross contamination.
The advanced and compact wall-mounted HyGenikx unit is a plug and play option that will quietly go about its business – keeping staff, customers, food and surfaces protected from viruses and bacteria, even in the hardest to reach areas. HyGenikx utilises a combination of the most effective air and surface sterilisation technologies available to produce Superoxide Ions and Plasma Quattro, which are proven to target and kill biological hazards, including Salmonella,
E.coli, Norovirus, and other primary sources of infections.
Furthermore, all this peace of mind, doesn’t have to cost the earth. HyGenikx models start from as little as £289, they require no costly installation as they simply plug in to a standard socket and consume very little energy, requiring only 85 watts. The integral lamp and battery in a HyGenikx unit will provide 12 months of trouble-free operation before they need to be replaced – and when they finally do need changing it is very easy to do and does not require an engineer. Models for food preparation areas are also supplied with shatter proof lamps for extra reassurance.”
The HyGenikx range is also proven to extend the shelf-life of stored perishable fresh food by an average of 58%, with some produce proving to last as much as 150% longer. Principally the life and quality of fruit and vegetables can be significantly extended – which in turn can significantly reduce food waste and cost.
The HyGenikx range has models to suit every application, from food preparation areas, cold rooms, dining areas, to washrooms, refuse areas and beyond, and joins Mechline’s ever-expanding collection of hygienic, safe and environmentally friendly solutions.
