The Sagewash Sanitizer – Technical Description

 The Sagewash Sanitizer presents a balance between simplicity and sophistication in continuous flow disinfection that has resulted in immediate acceptance by a varied, and interesting group of users operating in a broad range of applications including foodservice,  agriculture and horticulture, the fishing industry, animal care – including equine and gun dog applications,  food processing and hospitality. And the list is growing every week as new applications are tested and the Sagewash is found to be exactly what was required. 

Description
Sagewash is a hand held spray gun that produces a constant flow of sanitizing Hypochlorous Acid.  It has a screw on, centrally mounted cylindrical container that holds a solid capsule of Calcium Hypochlorite. When a water supply from a standard 12mm hosepipe is attached, the water fills the container, wets the capsule and the dilution is fed to the patented venturi which produces a precise mixture. This mixture is Hypochlorous Acid, which is a potent disinfectant. The pH of the output is approximately 7.8 and the free available chlorine concentration (FAC), is very finely controlled at approximately 70ppm. Hypochlorous Acid at this pH is completely harmless to humans and animals, but it is deadly to bacteria, viruses and fungal spores. The sanitized area can be occupied immediately after cleansing without further washdown or quarantine periods.

 Simple
The simplicity aspect is in the easy to hold, easy to use design. The capsule simply drops into the container and the container is screwed hand tight. Attach the hose, press the trigger and adjust the output nozzle from jet to spray as you wish, to maintain constant coverage.

 Sophisticated
Sophistication is the keynote of the venturi and its ability to control the precise concentration of output fluid, so that the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is kept at around 780 and the FAC between 70 and 90 ppm depending upon input flow rate. Unlike many disinfecting systems, the Sagewash maintains a continuous flow of sanitizing fluid for the life of the capsule. A capsule will provide full flow sanitizing for 3.5 hours from new. The Sagewash is supplied with a tub of 6 capsules. The useage rate is such that this guarantees that the Sagewash is both highly effective and economic to use.

 Continuous Flow Disinfection
As the work rate, pressures on space and time, and the complexity of lethal infections escalates, it is an essential health and safety requirement that absolute cleanliness is maintained and, almost as important, that the methods of disinfection keep pace with the constant demand.   Mopping or hosing down a floor simply moves bacteria from one place to another. Using a Sagewash gives a continuously flowing disinfecting action. It kills bacteria, fungal spores and viruses on contact.  It can be used on floors, in toilets, washrooms, bathrooms, waste disposal areas, drains, food delivery platforms, as a pre-process rinse for delivered vegetables, to wash down chopping blocks and bench tops and to rinse larger utensils and containers in brooders, production units, processing units and also in market and auction yards, animal holding pens, stables, lying-in pens, kennels, lambing, calving – and to disinfect most animal transport, including horseboxes and trailers.

 The unit can be drained in less than 30 seconds and then stored ready for use as required. The Sagewash Sanitizer is a quantum leap forward in delivering total sanitising. On demand within seconds, time after time, simple and sophisticated.
