SURFACE SANITISING
In food preparation areas, surfaces such as counter-tops, chopping boards and cutting knives can enable the transfer of harmful bacteria to foods, crockery and cutlery and, in turn, to consumers.
Ozone sanitisation is a highly effective method for killing 99.9% of all bacteria, viruses and pathogens instantly, on contact. Vortech now brings its clients globally patented technology that can ensure the highest hygiene standard
INTRODUCING ARCAQUA OZONE TECHNOLOGY
CONVERTING COLD WATER FROM A TAP INTO A SANITISING AGENT THAT WILL KILL 99.9% OF KNOWN BACTERIA
ArcAqua’s unique advantage is the ability to effectively disburse O₃ molecules in the gaps between millions of tiny water droplets – meaning that every drop of water used is packed with ozone and everything it touches is sanitized.
By rinsing washed surfaces using ‘ozonised’ water, kitchens can ensure the highest hygiene standards and adequately protect their clients and staff.
- Effectively sanitise work surfaces
- Protect customers & patrons from harmful bacteria
- 100% environmentally friendly
- 95% reduction in water used for rinsing
- 0% chemical residue
- Always on technology
OZONE MACHINES
Vortech offers its clients two ozone disbursement machines, each suitable for slightly different settings and applications.
TAP MOUNTED SYSTEM
Our Tap Mounted System (TMS) is the smallest unit in the range and is installed at wash-up or prep sinks.
The ozone nozzle is mounted directly onto existing taps and automatically adds ozone to any running water.
OVERHEAD SYSTEM
Our Overhead System (OH3) can be installed anywhere in the prep area and the nozzle is suspended by a ‘slinky hose’ above the cleaning station. This allows users a wider arc of movement and is suitable for higher volumes.
THE SCIENCE OF OZONE
Ozone, a molecule made up of 3 oxygen atoms (O₃),
is very unstable and really wants to exist in a two atom form (O₂) or as something else.
Oxidation (the attachment of the extra O atom to another atom or element) alters other molecules – and in the case of viruses and bacteria, it alters their RNA structure and instantly kills them.
Once oxidation is complete, all the ozone will have converted to oxygen – as harmless as nature intended.

FOOD PRESERVATION
The root cause of food spoilage and decay is primarily bacterial contamination that occurs on the surface of the food.
Kitchens can use “ozonised” water to extend the shelf-life and improve the freshness of meat, fish, whole fruits and vegetables by removing
the bacteria that starts the spoilage process.
Vortech now brings its clients globally patented technology that can extend the shelf life of certain food stuffs by up to 40%.
