UVC disinfection solutions exist, without chemicals, without contact, and without heat.
Industrial food product production demands constant hygiene quality.
With a large daily quantity of products moving through the production process, daily equipment cleaning is not sufficient.
Means to maintain a clean state of equipment in contact with the products are imperative, and thus, disinfection in the food industry is the perfect complement after the cleaning procedure.
Solutions exist: a disinfection protocol with a UVC germicidal system
Low-pressure mercury vapor lamps produce UVC radiation harmful to all microorganisms.
Exposure of surfaces for a few seconds significantly reduces the risk of product contamination.
UVC radiation has the unique ability to destroy germs on exposed surfaces to a significant degree, without the need for chemical additives or cleaning agents. This is an effective solution in industrial production due to the speed of the process. Just a few seconds of exposure to UVC radiation are sufficient to destroy 99.9% of the present germs.
Installation on industrial equipment can be carried out on existing equipment that does not come equipped with it by the manufacturer.
A few UV-C lamps under a conveyor ensure the maintenance of cleanliness and prevent product contamination.
All microorganisms are sensitive to this exposure.
UVC is used in the destruction of viruses, bacteria, molds, yeast, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Poliovirus, Coronavirus, etc. The complete list of doses required for the destruction of microorganisms by type is available on our website in this page
ERIES® brand UVC lamps used are coated with shatterproof sheathing, a necessity for use on food production lines.
We have been installing this type of lamp since the 1990s in the food industry.
Under the ERIES® brand, ELTECH Equipements offers solutions designed and adapted to the needs of agro-food industrial production lines to ensure permanent hygiene. The equipment offered is tailored to the specific characteristics of the production line, taking into account factors such as production speed and the shape of the surfaces to be treated.
An important point to note: so far, no bacteriological laboratory in the world has found microorganisms resistant to UV-C.
