Disinfect the room. Disinfect the product.

Cover the whole chain.
Most food safety conversations focus on one side of the equation – either the plant environment or the product itself. Real protection needs both. Pairing JIMCO’s UV-C and ozone disinfection technology with Stalam’s radio frequency (RF) pasteurization gives processors a chemical-free way to cover the entire chain, from the air and surfaces the product touches to the product itself.
How they complement each other: JIMCO’s patented FLO-D technology uses UV-C light to convert oxygen into ozone, which oxidizes bacteria, viruses, mold, and spores on surfaces and in the air – no chemicals, no filters, no water.
Stalam’s RF technology then takes care of the product itself, generating heat volumetrically inside the food rather than relying on hot air, water, or steam to transfer heat in from the outside, killing pathogens fast and uniformly without overcooking the product.
A few examples of how this plays out on the plant floor:
- Cold storage rooms – most JIMCO FLO-D models can treat up to 1,500 m³ of cold storage space, helping extend the shelf life of fresh produce by up to 14 days*.
- Between-shift surface disinfection – FLO-D systems run automatically after cleaning crews leave for the day, disinfecting equipment and surfaces overnight with next to zero manual labor and no water use.
- Fish and seafood processing facilities – JIMCO air purification reduces odor and airborne contamination plant-wide, while Stalam RF handles in-line pasteurization or disinfection of the product itself.
Radio Frequency Pasteurization with Stalam Sanipack+
Why this combination matters:
✓ No chemicals at either stage — both technologies rely on physics (UV-C/ozone and electromagnetic energy), not disinfectants or sanitizing agents.
✓ Up to 99.9% pathogen reduction — demonstrated effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, mold, and allergens.
✓ Faster, more uniform results — RF heats product volumetrically in minutes; ozone treatment works in hours without sealing the room – FLO-D technology is used in unoccupied rooms for safety.
✓ Lower operating costs — no water, no chemical consumables, and significant energy savings compared to conventional methods. A positive environmental solution!
One covers the environment. One covers the product. Together, a more complete disinfection strategy.
Scan American is proud to be the North American distributor for both Jimco and Stalam.
