Who ever thought that simple tap water could be turned into one of the most effective means of cleaning with antibacterial qualities to compare with the best detergents. The product is called E-water and Hoshizaki can provide this revolutionary cleaning aid with our range of ROX machines.

 

A machine developed by Hoshizaki using electrolysis via a cathode and anode to turn tap water into Alkaline and Acidic water. Salt is an essential ingredient in the process and this is provided by the salt water tank. In addition a water softener is required in the water supply to the ROX to ensure best quality water.

  

The basic principle is that at the Anode, chlorine gas reacts with the water to produce Hypochlorous acid. As a result the water from the anode has a pH of 3.0 or less (acidic water) with available chlorine of 20-60mg. The Hypochlorous acid (HCIO) is up to 80 times more effective than chemicals and the chlorine generated is non residual, so will not remain on foods etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the cathode, water decomposes and becomes hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. Sodium hydroxide is generated with a pH typically of 11.0 (alkaline water) and of course sodium hydroxide is found in soap products.

 

 

 

Alkaline and acidic water have two main functions within the cleaning process. Alkaline water dissolves proteins and oil. Acidic water is effective in sanitizing and bacteria control. So for example, by first washing a cutting board with alkaline water removes any oil or grease and then followed by acidic water sanitizes the cutting board. Remember acidic water is up to 80 times more effective compared to a chemical.

 

In the food service industry, the applications for E-water and consequential reduction of chemical use with benefits to the environment are too long to list here. Typical applications of cleaning and sanitizing are common to every establishment from floors, work surfaces, cooking utensils, hands, fryers, toilets, machinery, refrigerators and of course food itself.

 

Using ROX can even help to prevent food poisoning! When the work surface, utensils and the food itself is washed with E-water there is a reduced chance for bacteria to survive.Since it does not leave any residue behind it will not affect the quality or taste of the food in any case. 

 

By using either alkaline and then acidic water or either separately, almost every cleaning and sanitization application can be completed safely and chemical free!

  

 

No need for chemicals (save costs).

More effective than the average chemical.

No residue is left behind.

Not harmful for the human body.

Environmental friendly.
