FOOD SAFETY WATER TREATMENT
After this step, water is re-used in
the washing process. Only 3-4% of the
total volume is lost during the cycle.
This amounts to a huge savings in water.
Processors that use settling ponds need
five to six times more water to refresh
their system, said Blaak. Depending on
the needs of the process, VAM WaterTech
offers more treatments that disinfect
water even further, if necessary.
After flocculation the water is further
filtered to take out clay particles that
have not sedimented. Using advanced
oxidation process (AOP) technology, the
water is further disinfected. AOP is a
combination of ozone reaction in the
water and UV that destroys everything
it encounters, namely chemicals and
pesticides, pesticides and bacteria.
AOP can only be used if the water is
already clean, otherwise the process
won't work, said Blaak.
VAM WaterTech offers solutions that
have the ability to meet the requirements
for drinking water, although no client
has requested this yet.

several benefits to processors. First, the
recycling of disinfected water reduces
overall water usage. This is not only
good for the environment, but also for
reducing costs. The system improves
food safety and prolongs shelf life,
which reduces economic losses. Cleaner
water means cleaner equipment, which
reduces downtime. Finally, working in
a clean production facility is good for
employee peace of mind, Blaak added.
VAM WaterTech creates solutions
suited to individual needs. They install
and service the equipment they design.
The company is based Borssele, The
Netherlands.
" ...fewer false positives
& less downtime. "
" The Xtreme®
Metal Detector is able to locate metal within ingredients
like paprika and black pepper which, because of their consistency and
mineral content, can be very difficult. "
" When you put through bulk product, settling pockets and conglomerated
particles, it's more difficult to find contaminants. Eriez Xtreme Enhanced
Platform made setup more effective for those products, meaning fewer
false positives and less downtime. "
