The medical cannabis industry requires extremely high standards of cleanliness and sterility. Microbial contamination can invalidate entire batches and cause heavy losses.
Trichome Project, Kiryat Gat
Challenges:
High susceptibility to mold and bacteria
Need for a controlled environment throughout the entire growing process
The Solution:
Hydroxyl systems have been providing continuous disinfection for over two years throughout all stages of the growing process – from germination to drying. The technology is approved for use in the presence of plants and workers, and supports compliance with GMP standards.
Results:
Significant financial savings due to reduced mold and the need for screening
Improved quality of the final product
Reduced rejection rate
Compliance with stricter quality standards
Safer working environment for employees
Packinghouses are a critical bottleneck in the supply chain. Large volumes of produce move quickly, and any contamination can spread quickly.
The challenge:
Continuous production lines that cannot be stopped
High contact between produce and surfaces
Time pressure to meet shipping schedules
The solution: Hydroxyl disinfection works actively and continuously, without the need to stop the lines. The system disinfects the air and all surfaces – conveyors, crates, sorting tables – while work continues.
Results:
Disinfection without interrupting production
Reduced risk of cross-contamination
Compliance with export standards
In logistics centers, produce comes from different sources and is stored together. This is a recipe for the rapid spread of contaminants and the formation of the ethylene gas.
The Challenge:
Mixing produce from different sources
Increased ethylene release
The need to maintain freshness until distribution
The Solution:
Hydroxyl systems in the logistics centers break down ethylene and prevent the spread of pathogens. Produce stays fresher throughout the storage and distribution process.
Results:
Extended shelf life
Reduced warehouse waste
Higher quality produce
Cold rooms create a humid and cold environment – ideal conditions for mold growth. Decay during prolonged storage causes significant losses.
The challenge:
High humidity encourages mold
Prolonged storage increases the risk of decay
Difficulty in sanitizing without defrosting
The solution: Hydroxyl technology also works at low temperatures and high humidity levels. The system prevents mold growth and extends the possible storage time.
Results:
Reduced decay in storage
More flexibility in inventory management
Less waste and losses
Greenhouses create a controlled environment for growing, but also an ideal environment for plant diseases to develop. Fungal diseases can destroy an entire crop.
The Challenge:
Humidity creates an environment for diseases
Chemical sprays harm quality
Need protection throughout the growing season
The Solution: Hydroxyl systems provide a continuous layer of protection against airborne pathogens. The technology reduces the need for sprays and maintains plant health.
Results:
Reduced pesticide use
Healthier plants
Cleaner produce for market
