Hi

I’m hoping someone can help, how do you transfer vegetables from low risk to high care. We are looking at a bath which can be accessed from low risk to put the vegetables into the bath, where they will sit in chlorinated water for 5 mins then the clean veg is accessed in high care. So the bath sits between the two areas running through a hole in the walk. The supplier of the equipment has said the veg should go into a basket and be physically pushed or pulled from the low risk entry end to the high care exit end. Does anyone else have any other ideas for the type of equipment to carry this cleaning and transfer process out or names of manufacturers of such equipment in the UK?

Thanks

Hi laulau,

 

Pls clarify a little.

 

What kind of vegetable ?

 

Is this product / Process for BRC FS Standard or ?

 

PS - Sorry but do not comprehend yr Post 2.

 

PPS - Note that if  BRC, the latter offer a (paid) publication related to high risk / high care practical scenarios

Hi Charles

Thanks for responding. It’s anything from peas to whole cabbage. Any vegetable really. For BRC. There are high care vegetable suppliers out there so I really want to know who supplies their washing equipment so that I can contact them for quotes.

Prominent supply equipment for this but they often use the force of the chlorinated water (or peracetics) to push it through although I think in one factory I saw a massive strainer on a hoist in a pot which then was hoisted through to high care.   Be warned though that any washing process is at best 1-2 log reduction.  It's not perfect and never will be.  The research I did on it years ago seemed to indicate the disinfectants were there more to keep the water from getting filthy than disinfecting the surface of the veg.

 

I'm not sure if prominent produce the dosing systems or the troughs / dip tanks or both but I bet they'd be able to advise.  https://www.prominen...d-Industry.html

GMO thank you! I actually was just recommended Prominent by someone else and I’ve made contact.

Thanks again!
