Guide to Spray Technology for Food Processing
Your line has more to give — crush your quotas
Improve quality, capture lost pounds, prevent contamination, and avoid shutdowns and recalls. And do it all with less water.
Heat and stress take a toll on meat quality — affecting color, tenderness, and shelf life.
When livestock get stressed, meat can turn darker, tougher, and dry out faster. The loss of moisture also means lower weights and quicker spoilage. Keeping animals cool and calm means fewer bruises and other injuries, less trim, and better-looking product. They’re also easier and safer for workers to handle — helping you boost productivity, stay compliant, and keep more of what you process.
Cleaning fresh carcasses, and the conveyors and equipment that move them, is key to food safety and product quality.
It’s about more than just rinsing. Debris, buildup, and leftover cleaning chemistry all need to go, especially in areas where bacteria can thrive. Our spray technology cuts cleaning time, reaches those tough-to-sanitize spots, and helps you use less water and fewer chemicals — keeping your operation clean, efficient, and ready for the next shift.
Better carcass wetting & chilling
Once a muscle starts to dry out, there’s no getting that moisture back — and the lost weight available for processing is gone for good. The key the key to meat processing is proper wetting and chilling during those critical first 24 hours. Our intermittent cold-water sprays make it easy, delivering just the right amount of water to cool carcasses effciently, minimize shrink, and keep bacteria in check. And because they reduce misting and condensation, you avoid freezing hazards and the risk of a chill room shutdown.
Reach. Impact. Coverage.That’s the power behind a true clean.
When the risk of cross-contamination — or worse, an outbreak — is on the line, overkill can feel like the only option. Longer cycles and flooding equipment with water and chemicals won’t get you there. Our nozzles, tank cleaners, and rugged spray guns blast through stubborn residues and hit every hard-to-reach spot — cycle after cycle — delivering a deep, reliable clean with less water, less chemistry, and no compromise.
When the stakes are high, it’s easy to think more is better — but antimicrobials aren’t cheap.
Our precise, even spray application gives you the coverage you need where it counts — without the waste or extra chemistry that can affect flavor or labeling. The result? Reliable food safety, longer shelf life, and fewer recall risks for your fresh-cut, sliced, and packaged meats and poultry.
There’s no output during downtime — period. If you’re serious about boosting production, you’ve got to cut cleaning and maintenance time. Our nozzles make that easy. Many come with Quick Connect options, and our headers are built for easy access in those hard-to-reach spots. Integrated check valves let you make “hot swaps” without shutting the system down — cutting cleaning and maintenance from hours to minutes.
And when it comes to support, no one comes close to our spray experts. With local specialists right on your plant floor — backed by a deep bench of experts in our regional offices — we help you optimize performance, cut costs, reduce downtime, and save resources so you can keep running strong.
