The Elite 360^®: The Future of Food Safety

Use Fewer Resources and Achieve Better Results with Revolutionary Electrostatic Technology

The Elite 360^® is Birko’s latest innovation in antimicrobial intervention for food processing. Using electrostatic technology to apply antimicrobial products, the Elite 360^® helps meat and poultry processors meet USDA requirements for pathogen reduction while saving on water and chemical usage.

How the Elite 360^® Works

The Elite 360^® harnesses electrostatic technology in an all-new way to apply antimicrobials to meat and poultry products. It operates by spraying an electrostatically charged antimicrobial solution onto a product as it rotates, exposing all surfaces of the product to ensure full coverage. This process helps achieve up to 100% transfer efficiency while reducing overspray and uneven application of chemicals.
