JS Bailey Ltd is a cheese processing company based in Cheshire. After trialling the effectiveness of hypochlorous solution as a sanitiser in our production facility, and finding it to be at least as effective as the sanitising chemicals that were in current use, we purchased the Toucan Eco system in October 2019 and the system has been in use since early November 2019. The solution is incredibly versatile and can be used in handheld trigger sprays for smaller areas, pressure sprayers for larger areas or fogging machines for whole room sanitisation. Utensils can also be soaked in the solution in between use. The solution is chemical free, food safe and also safe to handle with no effects on skin etc., so can be handled without the need for the use of PPE. And, as the solution contains no chemicals, organisms are unable to build resistance as is the case when the same chemical based sanitising product is used over any length of time. We also have our own, on-site water treatment system for the factory waste water, and as the hypochlorous solution reverts back to water, there is no detrimental effect on the treatment plant ecosystem, which we were experiencing with chlorine based cleaners. The initial outlay for the unit has easily been recouped by not needing to purchase chemical sanitisers, and the cost of producing 10 litres of hypochlorous is literally pence. All in all an excellent system and product which I definitely recommend.
