Electrolyzed Water
Generator Incorporated with Ion Exchange Membrane for Disinfectant and Washing Water for Oils and Fats
E
lectrolysis of aqueous salt (sodium chloride) solution in an electrolytic cell using a special separation membrane produces acidic electrolyzed water. Hypochlorous acid contained in acidic electrolyzed water has a bactericidal effect. Introduce this generator to food processing factories and health care facilities to sterilize equipment etc.

Major Features and Advantages
Ion exchange membrane:
FORBLUETM S-SERIES is a cation exchange membrane made of fluororesin originally developed by AGC and has the following advantages.
- FORBLUETM S-SERIES is a cation exchange membrane with a sulfonic acid group.
- High cation-selective permeability for effective electrolysis or electro-dialysis.
- All materials that make up the membrane (including the reinforcing fabric) are made from fluorinated resins; as a result robust chemical resistance is ensured.
- The membrane is reinforced by special PTFE fabric and has high strength and is easy to handle.
- We have several types (dry/wet) and grades of membrane.
Electrolyzed water generator (developed by KANAZAWA INDUSTRY CO.,LTD):
As an electrolyzed water generator, it has the following advantages.
- The generated acid electrolyzed water is practically free from salt (sodium chloride), so less rust is generated on a metal surface of equipment, compared to hypochlorite water that contains salt.
- Running cost is low because electrolyzed water is generated only by water, salt and electricity without using special chemicals.
- The alkaline electrolyzed water generated as a by-product can be used for washing oil and fat components out by emulsification before the disinfection using acid electrolyzed water.
Technology Data
Possible applications
Disinfect and detergent equipment in medical/nursing facilities, food processing plants (fisheries, agriculture, meat, etc.) with acidic electrolyzed water and alkaline electrolyzed water. Acidic electrolyzed water is known to be effective against COVID-19, Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), fungi, etc., which cause infectious diseases. It is a useful technique to prevent the spread of infection and the spread of damage.
Competitive advantage
Ion exchange membrane:
- High selectivity for cations.
- Designed by incorporating a special PTFE reinforcing cloth into a thick polymer layer.
- High film strength and handleability.
Electrolyzed water generator:
Kanazawa Industry Co., Ltd.’s electrolyzed water generator uses a three-chamber electrolyzer and has three features. Using salt (sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl)) and water as raw materials, Acidic electrolyzed water (containing hypochlorous acid) and alkaline electrolyzed water are generated.
- Since both the electrolyzed waters are practically free from salt, they can cause less rust on a metal surface of equipment than hypochlorite water containing salt.
- The electrolyzed waters can be generated only with aqueous salt solution and electricity.
- The alkaline electrolyzed water can be used for emulsifying and cleaning out oil and fat components.
