SUPERCHARGED HYGIENE - PROVACHARGE BY STERILEX

What Is ProvaCharge P500?

ProvaCharge P500 is the P500 component of a two-part liquid acid-based disinfectant system from Sterilex.

Depending on the application, P500 is combined with either:

  • ProvaCharge F100 Foam – for open plant cleaning and foaming applications
  • ProvaCharge C100 CIP – for Clean in Place (CIP) applications

Once the two components are mixed at the time of use, the resulting ProvaCharge system is designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms while simultaneously providing antimicrobial activity against pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and E. coli.

Key Benefits of ProvaCharge P500

  • Two-part acid-based liquid disinfectant system
  • Designed for food and beverage manufacturing
  • Suitable for Open Plant Cleaning (OPC) and Clean in Place (CIP)
  • Designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms
  • Helps control resistant pathogens
  • Effective against organisms including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and E. coli
  • Can be incorporated into an acid weekly cleaning programme
  • 10-minute contact time
  • Suitable for food and non-food contact equipment and surfaces
  • Available in 25 L and 220 L formats
  • Compatible with dedicated foaming equipment for ProvaCharge Foam applications
  • Suitable for use with drain foaming tools where appropriate
  • Manufactured by Sterilex

ProvaCharge Foam – Open Plant Cleaning

For open plant cleaning applications, ProvaCharge P500 is used with ProvaCharge F100 Foam.

The two components are mixed at the time of use to create the ProvaCharge Foam system, which is designed to provide biofilm and pathogen control across suitable food manufacturing surfaces and equipment.

Foaming allows the disinfectant to be applied across larger areas of open plant equipment and surfaces, helping hygiene teams achieve thorough coverage as part of a structured cleaning programme.

ProvaCharge Foam can be used with suitable Dema foaming equipment and dedicated drain foaming tools.

ProvaCharge CIP – Clean in Place

For Clean in Place applications, ProvaCharge P500 is combined with ProvaCharge C100 CIP.

The ProvaCharge CIP system is designed for use within appropriate CIP processes where biofilm and microbial control are key hygiene considerations.

CIP applications can be particularly important within food and beverage production systems where internal surfaces, pipework, tanks and processing equipment need to be cleaned and disinfected without dismantling the plant.

Always establish compatibility with the equipment, materials and CIP process before use and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

ProvaCharge P500 Applications

ProvaCharge can be considered for a range of food manufacturing hygiene applications, including:

Open Plant Cleaning

Suitable for use within structured open plant cleaning programmes where food processing equipment and surfaces require effective disinfection.

Clean in Place (CIP)

When combined with ProvaCharge C100 CIP, P500 forms part of the ProvaCharge CIP system for suitable closed processing systems.

Biofilm Control

The ProvaCharge system is designed to penetrate and destroy biofilms, helping food manufacturers address potential microbial harbourage sites.

Pathogen Control

ProvaCharge is designed to provide antimicrobial activity against pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and E. coli.

Weekly Acid Cleaning

The manufacturer recommends using ProvaCharge as part of an acid weekly clean, making it suitable for facilities incorporating periodic acid-based disinfection into their hygiene strategy.

Drain Hygiene

When used in the appropriate application, ProvaCharge Foam can be used with dedicated drain foaming tools to support hygiene procedures in drainage areas.

ProvaCharge and Biofilm Control

Biofilm can present a particular challenge within food processing environments because microorganisms can become established within protective layers on surfaces and equipment.

Routine cleaning and disinfection procedures should be designed to minimise the opportunity for biofilm development and microbial harbourage.

ProvaCharge is specifically designed with biofilm penetration and destruction in mind. When the appropriate ProvaCharge components are combined at the point of use, the system provides simultaneous biofilm and pathogen control.

This makes ProvaCharge particularly relevant to food manufacturers looking to strengthen their periodic hygiene procedures.

Target Pathogens

The ProvaCharge system is designed to control pathogens including:

  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Salmonella enterica
  • E. coli

Pathogen control should always form part of a comprehensive food safety and environmental hygiene programme. Product efficacy should be assessed against the specific conditions of use, including concentration, temperature, contact time and application method.

10-Minute Contact Time

ProvaCharge has a recommended 10-minute contact time.

Allowing the disinfectant to remain in contact with the treated surface for the specified period is an important part of achieving the intended disinfection performance.

Contact time: 10 minutes

Always follow the current manufacturer's instructions regarding dilution, preparation, application, contact time, temperature, surface compatibility and rinsing requirements.

Rinse After Use

Following the specified contact time, surfaces should be rinsed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the site's documented cleaning procedure.

For food production environments, cleaning and disinfection procedures should always take account of applicable food safety requirements and the intended use of the treated surface.

Why Use a Two-Part Disinfectant System?

The ProvaCharge system separates its components until they are required for application. The appropriate components are mixed at the time of use, depending on whether the intended application is foam-based open plant cleaning or CIP.

This provides flexibility for food manufacturers operating different hygiene processes across the same facility.

The system can therefore support:

  • Open plant cleaning
  • CIP cleaning
  • Periodic acid disinfection
  • Biofilm control programmes
  • Pathogen control procedures
  • Targeted hygiene interventions
  • Weekly acid cleaning regimes
