Problem

Willowbrook Foods, a leading food producer in Northern Ireland, needed to upgrade its traditional disinfection system.

The business wanted closer monitoring and control, less human error and improved production quality and product shelf life.

Solution

Genco designed and installed an automated disinfection dosing system with complete traceability.

Combined with a ready-mixed, low-chlorite cleaning solution, the highly automated process delivers consistent monitoring and dosing while reducing manual workload and removing reliance on manual dosing decisions.
