Listeria Contamination

One of the main pathogens in the food industry, Listeria can cause serious illnesses to people and can even lead to death. That is why its control within a food industry is so important.

Salmonella Contamination

One of the biggest public health problems among foodborne illnesses, Salmonella contamination is a challenge to be faced by the food industries.

Air Contamination

Air is one of the most important causes of contamination in an industry, therefore, the manufacturing environment needs all the attention regarding the control of contamination caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Fungi and Molds

Fungi are a concern in the food industry, especially in the bakery industry and other related products. They are generally adapted to environments that could be hostile to bacteria and found on food surfaces forming colonies.

Dry Cleaning and Disinfection

Some sectors of the food industry (such as the bakery sector) as well as in some equipment, there are restrictions on the use of water in the cleaning process.

Drains

One of the biggest carriers of contamination in the food industry, drains need special attention. The Higex team has a lot of experience to assist you in controlling contamination from these locations.

Ultraviolet – UVC

UVC Ultraviolet Light is composed of short waves between 200 and 280 nm, which has great germicidal action, and is currently widely used in the food industry for its great result in the control of bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts.

Evaporators and Air Systems

Evaporators and air systems used in food industries in general, with the objective of cooling the air that circulates in the environments, when not properly sanitized, have a great influence on microbiological contamination.

Surfaces and Equipment

In addition to products for specific use, Higex has a range of products for daily use such as neutral, alkaline and acid detergents, with or without foam, for cleaning surfaces and equipment in the food industry in general and/or industrial kitchens.

Industrial Water

Water care is also part of the Higex team's scope of products and knowledge. We have products to treat water for human consumption and industrial use.

Biofilm

The formation of bacterial biofilms occurs more often than we think and are present in the food industry. These structures provide great resistance to the action of sanitizers, as they protect bacteria, preventing their action.

Sanitary Barriers

The sanitary barrier is one of the most important points in a food industry, being directly responsible for many residues and contaminations that enter the factory. It must be properly prepared to serve as a block to microbiological challenges loaded in the hands and shoes of employees.
