Glaciasept™ Ice hygiene system UV-C · Retrofit · CE
Your ice is only as safe as the air around it.
“A new era of sanitary ice begins here. One UV‑C pass disinfects air and water, simultaneously.”
Because one contamination headline is all it takes.

Glaciasept™ is the first UV-C disinfection system to simultaneously disinfect both incoming water and the food zone air — before the ice production process begins.

The first system to treat ice contamination where it actually begins — in the air.

Glaciasept™ is the first UV-C disinfection system to simultaneously disinfect both incoming water and the food zone air — before the ice production process begins.

Water + Air 254nm UV-C Continuous 24/7 Retrofit — any machine

The contamination cycle

Your ice machine's food zone is the ideal environment for airborne pathogens. Permanently humid. Hard to reach. Rarely inspected.

Commercial ice machines operate in environments saturated with airborne bacteria — kitchen aerosols, grease particles, yeast spores — that circulate continuously through normal air movement.

The pathogens most commonly identified include Escherichia coli and Legionella pneumophila. Both are addressed by Glaciasept™.

Traditional cleaning addresses this reactively — scrubbing surfaces where colonies have already formed, then leaving the machine exposed.

01

Airborne entry

Bacteria carried by normal kitchen air circulation into the food zone

02

Full zone settlement

Pathogens anchor to all humid surfaces: ducts, deflectors, evaporator

03

Colony formation

Biofilm develops across the food zone within weeks, invisible to the operator

04

Harvest contamination

Biofilm fragments freeze onto individual cubes or deposit into stored ice

Glaciasept™ interrupts the cycle at its origin.

Three steps. One continuous cycle.

Two contamination vectors. One device. One single UV-C pass.

Step 1 — Purify incoming water

UV-C eliminates 99.9% of waterborne pathogens before they enter the ice production process.

Every litre of water entering your ice machine first passes through Glaciasept™'s UV-C chamber, where high-intensity 254nm light neutralises waterborne pathogens at the source. No chemicals. No cartridges. Scale prevention is maintained through a dedicated polyphosphate dosing cartridge at approximately one quarter of the cost of a standard filtration cartridge.

Fluxaria™ Positive pressure principle

Step 2 — Pressurise the food zone

Fluxaria™ creates a continuous positive air pressure barrier inside the ice machine — the same principle used in pharmaceutical laboratories and sterile production environments.

Glaciasept™'s Fluxaria™ module continuously draws ambient air through a foam pre-filter, disinfects it at 254nm UV-C, and pushes it into the food zone through a dedicated air duct. The result is continuous positive air pressure that physically prevents untreated air from entering. Fluxaria™ operates continuously, 24/7, at a maximum power draw of 30W — virtually inaudible in a commercial kitchen. A green LED confirms both systems are active.

Step 3 — Maintain continuous protection

By eliminating both contamination vectors simultaneously, Glaciasept™ extends cleaning intervals from monthly to quarterly — while maintaining a higher standard of hygiene.

With airborne contamination continuously blocked and incoming water continuously disinfected, the conditions that drive biofilm formation are systematically suppressed. The result is a statutory reduction in manual cleaning frequency from 26 to 4 times per year. The UV-C lamp runs continuously, free from thermal stress — achieving approximately 26,000 hours of operational lifespan, or around three years of continuous use.

Six reasons operators don't go back.

Integrated monitoring

WiFi + LED alert, UV intensity, airflow, water flow — continuously logged.

Energy efficient

30W maximum, continuous 24/7 operation.

Professional installation

Air duct through panel, ~45 min by a qualified technician.

Predictable maintenance

Quarterly filter, lamp ~3 years, flow meter driven cartridge replacement.

Health inspection ready

Continuous performance log, on-demand documentation — same working day.

Telemetry for any machine

Universal retrofit, pay-per-use ready, predictive maintenance.

Four reasons. All of them matter.

01

Hygiene Assurance

Stop managing the risk. Eliminate it.

  • Positive air pressure across every food contact surface
  • UV-C water disinfection at source — before ice production begins
  • Continuous performance logging for health inspections and legal protection
-0% pathogen reduction — water and air
02

Operational Simplicity

Install it. Run it. Trust it.

  • 4 cleanings/year — statutory minimum
  • Quarterly pre-filter cleaning — rinse, squeeze dry, reinstall. No specialist tools.
  • Polyphosphate cartridge replacement driven by actual water consumption data
-0% fewer manual cleanings — from day one
