VIGILAIR® technology can help keep food production clean by:
  • inactivating microorganisms in the air used in food production
  • inactivating microorganisms on the surfaces of food products
  • inactivating microorganisms on the surfaces of packaging
Our technology is proving effective in keeping food safe and is used in production facilities in the US, Canada, Mexico and Asia. For more information on how VIGILAIR® is used in the food production industry, click here.
