Chemical free cleaning and disinfection for robotic milking systems
Pulse Oxidation Dairy (POd) reduces energy costs by 24% and outperforms conventional disinfection systems: Innovate UK DEFRA study findings at South West Dairy Development Centre.
Introducing Oxi-Tech’s Pulse Oxidation (POd) to robotic milking systems has cut energy costs by 24% and proved to be 50 times more efficient in energy usage compared to existing treatments for automated milking systems, according to results from a DEFRA funded Innovate UK R&D project.
POd which uses just cold water and low voltage electricity to create ozone, a clean and powerful disinfectant killing bacteria, viruses and fungi, was retro-fitted to the robotic milking systems at Agri-Tech’s South West Dairy Development Centre.
The Centre’s three robotic systems were alternatively fitted with POd and conventional treatment and monitored to analyse the comparative performance of each.
Oxi-Tech’s CEO Paul Morris comments: “We were delighted with the findings of this six-month trial. The research team concluded that POd not only proved to be a cost saving, highly efficient disinfectant but also brought improvements to operator safety by eliminating the handling of harmful chemicals. The reduction in the use and disposal of plastic containers will also significantly lower a dairy unit’s Carbon footprint and contribute to its net zero target.”
TSW London Investment Event
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to share our Pulse Oxidation story at Tech South West’s first national tech showcase in London and help celebrate what makes the South West tech sector such a hotbed of innovation.
The region has long been seen as a centre for green and blue technologies, with world leaders in renewable energy, marine and agritech solutions, and it offers so much more. with strong fintech, aviation, defence, space, creative, medtech, AI and cyber sectors, the South West has a lot to shout about, and Oxi-Tech is proud to be part of it.

Oxi-Tech proud to support World Water Day
Oxi-Tech was proud to celebrate World Water Day and fully support the UN’s Water for Peace campaign.
“We’re aware water IS already a source of conflict. When water is scarce or polluted, or when people struggle for access, tensions can rise. Alternatively, water can create peace. By cooperating on water, we can balance everyone’s water needs and help stabilize the world,” says Oxi-Tech’s CEO Paul Morris.
“We can also foster harmony between communities and countries by uniting around the fair and sustainable use of water – from international UN conventions to actions at the local level.
“Oxi-Tech is providing a solution to cleaning water, without the chemical footprint. We’ve harnessed the most effective industrial biocide on the planet called Pulse Oxidation – technology that’s helped us to develop a system that wipes out bacteria, viruses and the need for toxic chemicals, leaving pathogen free water.”
