NATURE’S ANTIMICROBIAL IN YOUR HANDS V O L L R AT H ® U T E N S I L S EQUIPPED WITH
FIGHT OFF NASTY MICROBES Invading microbes are a fact of life in any commercial kitchen environment. It’s not hard to imagine how many of these nasty microbes can get transferred to serving utensils. And because dirty utensils and food do not get along, you need the power of Vollrath’s exclusive Agion® Silver Ion Antimicrobial Technology. With it, microbes that collect and breed on server handles are attacked and repelled by the handles themselves!
What does antimicrobial mean? It means the ability to destroy bacteria, mildew and molds — dangerous enemies to the kitchen. Vollrath, a leader and innovator in professional equipment and smallwares for commercial kitchens, believes in creating products that help keep kitchen environments cleaner and safer through a wide offering of NSF and HACCP products. Our latest ® innovation, Vollrath smallwares with Agion, gives you the added advantage of effectively fighting and protecting against dangerous microbial invasions — for the life of the product.

Silver, nature’s antimicrobial. Silver is natural, environmentally friendly and proven completely safe for food contact. It has no toxic effects on people, but it is very effective in combating a broad spectrum of bacteria. Built right into the handles, Vollrath uses Agion’s patented technology to help create a clean, antimicrobial environment. Silver ions naturally and continuously fight the growth of microbes every time a Vollrath utensil handle is touched or comes in contact with moisture. Each time it happens, the silver ions become active and go to work destroying microbes — preventing them from growing into a dangerous population.
HOW IT WORKS Positive ions present in moisture exchange with silver ions on the zeolite. The exchanged silver ions are now available to control microbial growth.
Surface film of moisture Bacteria
Fighting on all fronts at once. Unlike chemical or man-made antimicrobials which generally interact with only one specific site on a microbe, the silver-based antimicrobial compound attacks multiple targets on the microbe:
Waves of antimicrobial silver ions attacking
> Prevents cell reproduction > Obstructs cell respiration Handle material with embedded Agion zeolites
> Starves the bacteria
Agion zeolite releasing silver ions
Committed to being natural. The Agion compound used in select Vollrath utensils is less toxic than table salt and one of the few technologies cleared by the FDA for food and water contact.
Look for this seal. It is on all Vollrath products that contain Agion antimicrobial protection.
