METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECAPTURING AND REUSING UNREACTED ANTIMICROBIAL SOLUTIONS IN SPRAY APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system providing for on-site reclamation and re-use of reclaimed antimicrobial solution includes a dispenser, at least one receptacle, piping, and at least one pump. The dispenser sprays antimicrobial solution toward moving raw food products. Unspent antimicrobial solution that did not contact the moving raw food products and rebound antimicrobial solution that did contact the raw food products combine to form a reclaimed antimicrobial solution. The reclaimed antimicrobial solution is collected in the receptacle and is pumped through the piping to a location for reuse.

1. A method for on-site reclamation and reapplication of reclaimed antimicrobial solution in a raw food product processing system, the method comprising:
(a) spraying an antimicrobial solution toward raw food products; (b) collecting unspent antimicrobial solution that did not contact the raw food products and rebound antimicrobial solution that did contact the raw food products to form a reclaimed antimicrobial solution in a first receptacle and a second receptacle; (c) pumping the reclaimed antimicrobial solution from the first receptacle and the second receptacle through piping; (d) transporting the reclaimed antimicrobial solution to a reuse location in the system; and (e) spraying raw food product with the reclaimed antimicrobial solution at the reuse location in the system.
