Uvc surface disinfection for food packaging and tools
Achieve fast and effective UVC disinfection of food products and packaging without heat or chemicals, ensuring optimal hygiene in your production line and minimizing contamination risks.
Disinfects Surfaces and Packaging with UVC Technology
The UVC Lock disinfection system from KRONEN integrates state-of-the-art UVC technology to deliver effective dry sterilization for food and packaging applications. It works by utilizing UVC light at 254 nm to damage microorganisms, preventing proliferation across surfaces. Key applications include disinfecting pre-peeled onions, sausage packaging, and other food products, ensuring hygienic processes before further handling.
Capable of integrating seamlessly into existing production lines, the UVC Lock accommodates various operational speeds, operating continuously or manually as required. With a capacity to disinfect products such as cabbages at rates up to 3,000 kg/h, it offers substantial throughput while maintaining stringent hygiene standards.
Its robust yet flexible design suits a range of industries, including food processing and packaging, meeting departmental needs for cleaning and environment safety. The system’s stainless steel construction guarantees corrosion resistance, and its user-friendly maintenance features, such as an accessible interior and a touch screen display, streamline operations without sacrificing compliance with health and safety regulations.
