How it works
Innovative Cold Plasma Technology
Plasma Fresh uses state-of-the-art cold plasma technology to deliver unparalleled cleaning performance. Cold plasma generates reactive species that effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants without the need for harsh chemicals or high temperatures.
This advanced method ensures a higher standard of hygiene while being safe for use on food processing equipment. The technology can be seamlessly retrofitted into existing production lines, making the transition smooth and cost-effective for manufacturers.
Continuous, In-Line Cleaning
Unlike traditional cleaning methods that require halting production and manual intervention, Plasma Fresh offers a continuous, in-line cleaning solution. Our system operates in real-time, maintaining cleanliness without interrupting the manufacturing process.
This not only reduces downtime, but also minimises the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring that your products remain safe and high-quality. Consistent cleanliness, higher productivity, and greater peace of mind.

How we’re funded
In 2022/23, we completed Innovate UK’s Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) “Explore” programme in 2022/2023. As a result, we were able to secure £295k ICURe follow-on funding, which was match funded by the University of Liverpool’s Enterprise Investment Fund (£250k).
In 2024, we were one of the very first businesses to join the Biotechnology Business Incubation Centre (Bio BIC)- a new business support programme located within STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory, at Sci-Tech Daresbury. The programme is designed to help early stage, high potential biotechnology companies succeed in commercial markets, and is funded by the UK Research and Innovation STFC and BBSRC research councils.
The backing of these prestigious organisations serves to highlight the groundbreaking potential of our cold plasma technology in revolutionising the food processing industry.
This funding not only validates our efforts and helps us to bridge the gap between science and the market, but also empowers us to continue our mission of providing eco-friendly, efficient cleaning solutions that help manufacturers reduce costs, minimise downtime, and contribute to a greener planet.
