  Fogg Micro-bloc™ Elastomer Technology

Antimicrobial Protection Down to the Last Detail


New Fogg Micro-bloc™ technology brings antimicrobial protection to critical areas of filling system components: elastomers and lubricants. Now available on all Fogg rinsers, fillers and cappers, Micro-bloc™ works continually to prevent micro-organisms from feeding on rubber parts, where they traditionally reproduce and cause foul odors, mildew, slime, and discoloration. What’s more, Micro-bloc™ is not a surface treatment, but an integral ingredient in the elastomer, assuring life-long elastomer performance and protection.

Continuous, Proactive Protection
Because the antimicrobial agent is an integral ingredient, Micro bloc’s qualities will not diminish over time or usage. Its inorganic silver base provides continual effectiveness, even in high wear or abrasive applications, against a wide spectrum of micro-organisms. Continuous protection against containments and growth means elastomers last longer.

Cleaner Operations
Effective sanitary design encompasses all surfaces, including gaskets or seals that may serve as traps for bacteria. Micro-bloc™ delivers antimicrobial protection to these often hard-to-reach and difficult-to-clean surfaces. Micro-bloc™ inhibits bacteria from growing on the surface, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming cleaning and decontamination procedures associated with conventional elastomers. Traditional decontamination service time is costly, and is often accompanied by premature parts replacement as an alternative
to cleaning. There’s no need to replace Micro-bloc™ elastomers until they have reached their full service life.

Micro-bloc™ Benefits
• Inhibits growth of a wide range of micro-organisms, bacteria, fungi or algae
• Prohibits reproduction that leads to foul odors, discoloration, corrosion, mildew and slime
• An integral part of the elastomers and lubricant compound for life-long performance even in high wear applications
• Reduces the frequency of costly and time-consuming cleaning and decontamination procedures associated with conventional elastomers
• Antimicrobial additive is FDA approved
• Safe to human contact

The Fogg Commitment
Micro-bloc™ technology is one aspect of Fogg’s growing commitment to extended shelf life filling. Other features include Tri-Line Valve™, manufactured to 3A standards for efficient CIP operations, HEPA filtration to provide laminar airflow, one touch CIP technology, steam cap sterilization, and Sanibar spray systems with automatic rinse cycle.
