ROX
- Water Electrolyzer
MORE EFFECTIVE THAN QUATS,
IODOFORS, PERACETIC ACID AND BLEACH, SAFER THAN
CHLORINE DIOXIDE, LESS COSTLY THAN CHEMICAL, OZONE
OR OTHER ANTIMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGIES
Electrolytic water produced from Hoshizaki’s
ROX 20TA-U is a chemical-less antimicrobial solution
that will enhance shelf-life, reduce spoilage
and improve food quality and safety for both the
food processing and food service industries.
Electrolytic water is approved under 21 CFR 173.315
for direct contact with processed foods. Electrolytic
water is approved for several indirect food contract
applications under 21 CFR 172.892, 21 CFR 175.105,
21 CFR 176.170 and 21 CFR 177.2800. It is an approved
sanitizer that meets 21 CFR 178.1010. The EPA
has also given approval (40 CFR 180.1054) for
washing raw foods that are to be consumed without
processing.
Electrolytic water is created by electrochemical
disassociation of salt water. This process splits
salt water into two separate streams, acidic and
alkaline water. Electrolytic acidic water provides
more than 80 times the antimicrobial efficacy
than sodium hypochlorite solutions due to its
very high oxidation-reduction potential (ORP).
When ORP is greater than 650 millivolts, most
pathogens are killed on contact. The ORP of the
ROX acidic water is greater than 1100.
University and industry studies are available
illustrating the effectiveness of ROX water as
an antimicrobial wash for fruits, vegetables,
eggs, poultry, beef and seafood. Reports for use
as a hard surface sanitizer for food process equipment
and kitchen surfaces are also available.
Hoshizaki’s ROX 20TA-U can be a single clean
and sanitizing system for processing facilities.
The alkaline water produced from the ROX system
is an excellent cleaner. It is classified as an
A1 cleaning compound. It can be used as an alkaline
cleaner in Clean-In-Place (CIP) applications or
as the primary cleaner on food processing equipment.
The food service facility will utilize the alkaline
water properties for removing oil, grease and
carbon from a variety of surfaces. Clean surfaces
can then be rinsed with the ROX acidic water for
sanitizing. The ROX water is classified as a D2
which requires no fresh water rinsing after sanitizing.
The operating cost of the Hoshizaki ROX system
is far less than compared to chemical, UV, ozone
or other technologies. The costs associated with
the ROX system are water, electricity and salt.
The cost per gallon of ROX water averages than
less than ½ cent per gallon. A medium-sized
processing facility would use about 1000 gallons
of ROX water per day or about $5.00 per day. A
food service facility would use an average of
130 gallons per day or about 65 cents per day.
These costs include both the ROX acidic sanitizing
water and the alkaline cleaning solution.
Hoshizaki’s ROX 20TA-U provides an extremely
safe system to make and apply a highly effective
antimicrobial solution. It eliminates any need
to buy, store, mix or transport corrosive or other
dangerous chemicals.

"The effect of ROX is so strong
that nearly all kinds of bacteria are eradicated
within 30 seconds to 3 minutes."
