Quail receives second patent
The US Patent and Trademark Office recently approved a second patent for Quail Systems’ method for ozone generation, wireless communication, monitoring and remote access featured in its Refrigerated Transport Series.
The company said the patent also protects its method for installing the Refrigerated Transport Series in an enclosed airspace. The first patent approval, granted last July, covered the design of the system.
“As we continue to advocate and promote the use of ozone to create a safer and better food chain from farm to fork, this approval protects our Refrigerated Transport Series and the many hours invested by our team of researchers, developers and designers,” said Robert Smith, Quail Systems president and CEO.
The Quail Refrigerated Transport Series works within a trailer’s existing refrigeration unit to circulate ozone in the airflow to sanitize the trailer between loads, helping to prevent cross-contamination, and protect and extend the life of perishable cargo while in transit.
“Our company has used the Refrigerated Transport Series for a year now and we’re able to deliver a product that is safer, better and fresher,” claimed Gerardo Soto, owner of Blue Nation Logistics. “We’re reaping the benefits of the system and passing it along to our customers, as well.”
Approved by the FDA and USDA, ozone is recognized as the most effective antimicrobial disinfectant on the market. Quail’s safe, advanced technology produces ozone onsite. Quail System products allow food providers to meet the Food Safety Modernization Act’s requirements to transport food in a safe, clean environment and prevent cross-contamination, Quail maintained. FSMA shifts the focus of responding to foodborne illnesses to preventing them.
