Reduce Costs without Sacrificing Efficiency

Sterilex PerQuat® technology helps eliminate harmful biofilm bacteria and odors that proliferate in drains, all without the need for manual scrubbing. In a recent test at a Ready-to-Eat poultry plant, it took hygiene personnel 15 minutes to manually scrub each drain. By switching to the PerQuat technology, the equipment reduced cleaning time by more than 50%. Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner Solution 1 and Sterilex Ultra Activator Solution generate a dense foam that clings to drains, penetrating and removing biofilm and eliminating foodborne pathogens in just 10 minutes. Simply fill the drain with foam and you're done: no final rinse is required.

Operational Benefits of the Sterilex Drainage Program

Reduce Labor and Save Time

Eliminates the need to manually scrub drains. PerQuat technology performs chemical scrubbing to remove biofilm: simply rinse and remove.

Prevents Cross Contamination

Avoid manually scrubbing drains or using high pressure water to reduce the risk of aerosolizing bacteria and spreading pathogens throughout the plant, including food contact surfaces.

Eliminates Biofilm + Increased Shelf Life

Removes biofilm and spoilage microorganisms to improve product safety and increase shelf life.

Easy Application

Manually scrubbing drains or spraying them with high-pressure water is not only time consuming, but can also aerosolize bacteria and spread pathogens to nearby surfaces. PerQuat technology eliminates the need for scrubbing. Simply fill the drain with foam and forget about it: no final rinse is required. Save time and labor with Sterilex.

Why does it matter to clean industrial drains? - The case of Listeria

Drains are a common site for the proliferation of bacteria and spoilage microorganisms. In fact, almost 30% of drains in Ready-to-Eat (RTE) plants are positive for the presence of Listeria, representing a significant risk of cross-contamination in plants. However, drains are often overlooked or poorly managed with ineffective chemical treatments.
A sound drainage management program is a critical component of a sound drainage system. Listeria management program.
