"Cleaning the impossible"
We provide solutions for contamination control and process optimalisation
We can help you to
- Improve product quality;
- Maximize yield and profit;
- Achieve sustainabilty;
- Comply to food safety legislation in your part of the world.
Contamination control
Cleaning is a process. We have the necessary knowledge and experience to execute this process effectively. Our solutions save water, energy, and labor. With our unique Undine® cleaning technique, we deliver this solutions efficiently.
Process optimalisation
We do more than just cleaning: our thorough understanding of the production process enables us to leverage Undine® and its sustainable qualities to achieve significant improvements and corresponding yields in production.
Undine® high velocity microdroplets
The concept is simple, the effect is huge. Water and air are mixed under pressure in the Undine® mixing chamber. The result is an excellent cleaning method with extremely low water consumption.
With Undine® you do not only improve hygiene. You will save up to 70% on your water and energy consumption and up to 60% on your labour costs.

Undine® - how does it work?
The Undine® technology is, in essence, simple—just as any good technology should be. A simple technique features a straightforward design, allowing for easy installation and low maintenance.
Our secret lies in breaking up the water flow into microdroplets and accelerating them to much higher speeds. These high-speed microdroplets exert more force on contaminants than a traditional water jet alone can.
We have conducted studies to explain the physics behind this process and to demonstrate why Undine® penetrates surfaces more effectively than a standard water jet—without causing surface damage. This is a critical factor when cleaning poultry.
The Undine® unit mixes water with pressurized air for ultimate cleaning performance.
The IWC hurdle approach
A standalone component does not create an integrated and holistic hurdle hygiene concept. The word hurdle refers to creating a barrier against something - in this case, a barrier against contamination and bacteria advancing to the next process step.
The hurdle concept has existed for some time but has been greatly improved by us. Our Undine® technology significantly enhances the cleaning power of water alone. Undine® takes the hurdle concept to a higher level. In some cases, it can even reduce specific bacteria, such as Salmonella and Enterobacteria, to below detectable levels.
Undine® enables a significant improvement in the overall hygiene level of poultry processing companies. Existing hurdles are made more effective, and, thanks to substantial water savings, additional hurdles that were previously unfeasible can now be implemented.
About us
Our mission is to make cleaning easier and more sustainable worldwide. We achieve this by delivering better cleaning results while using less water and energy. Our ambition is to set a new standard in hygiene with Undine® cleaning technology.
Innovative Water Concepts International was founded in 2004 by Ton Winters and Tjerk Nijdam. With their groundbreaking invention of the Undine® cleaning technique, they quickly became recognized as experts in cleaning within the food industry.
Today, we are active in countries around the world. From our production center and headquarters in the Netherlands, we ensure that our international network is optimally aligned with the needs of our customers. Our local experts understand the market and culture, ensuring we are always close by.
