Hi, we're considering using an Ozone Chamber like the one described below to facilitate the movement of goods from low-risk to high-care areas:

Video - Ozone Transfer Chamber for Low risk to High Care Transfer
The concept involves creating a single, large chamber to facilitate the entry of all items into the facility (excluding personnel).
High-risk food items (such as pre-cooked chicken) are decartonized down to their bags in the low-risk area, then placed into bins that are wheeled into this chamber.
Everything else, including goods, equipment, consumables, and parts (both mechanical and electrical) can also be brought into this chamber. All items need to be exposed to ozone.
Once ozoned, all products, including the chicken and their bins, can move freely throughout the high-care facility. This eliminates the need for a sanitization tunnel with a small access point.
Constructive criticism is welcome. This approach would meet the 6-log reduction with the correct ppm and duration.
A few questions:
-
How does loading/unloading the room work with forklifts?
-
Could forklifts from the low-risk side contaminate the chamber? If something is on the wheels, could it be dragged through? Even after ozoning, could the high-care side pick up contaminants? Can the room be scrubbed each time from the high-care side? Similarly, once sanitized, can bins from low-risk move through high-care/high-risk areas?
2. Would this setup work for transitioning from low-risk to high-risk areas?
Regards,
