Customer Spotlight:
Heartland Catfish
Greensboro, AL

Heartland Catfish Company, a leading producer of US farmed raised catfish, has raised the bar even further on its commitment to supply the highest quality products at a competitive price.

In early 2010, Heartland installed a centralized WhiteWater Ozone System in their Greensboro processing facility. Ozonated water is delivered to all areas of the plant through a circulating loop system. This on-demand design ensures consistent ozone levels are available at every application point, during production and for nightly sanitation.

The system performs many different functions throughout the day. While processing, food safe ozonated water is applied to automated processing machinery, conveyors, and directly to the product from start to finish.

These intervention steps help to control and discourage bacteria growth throughout the production shift. This significantly reduces the buildup and cross contamination normally experienced with traditional processing.

When processing is finished, the same ozone system (combined with a cold water high pressure spray) is used to clean up the plant. Multiple step conventional chemical processes and high volume hot water use are a thing of the past, replaced with a "green" environmentally responsible sanitation program.

 
     
 
Tim Millwood - Heartland VP of Operations
 
"We initially purchased a system to verify the efficacy of ozone for our specific operation. Many of our customers were using the technology to improve product quality/shelf life and recommended we look into it. The benefits we realized made the decision to implement this on a large scale very easy. Our WhiteWater System not only keeps our plant cleaner during and after production, it allows us to do it in a safe, environmentally friendly way."
