UVC – disinfection for better hygiene in the food and drink industry

Optimal hygiene in production is crucial in the food industry. During the manufacturing process, even the cleanest products are polluted by microorganisms in the air, working surfaces and packing materials. Tech Industry Bulgaria Ltd. is an official importer of ultraviolet light disinfection modules by the German brand UVpro.

UVC-light disinfection provides 24 hours of protection and hygiene even in working production. Treating air and surfaces with ultraviolet light destroys bacteria where they appear – completely, even before they are transmitted to the products. This ensures consistent quality of production throughout the working day.

Disinfection modules can be easily installed anywhere:

  • in refrigeration chambers and storage rooms
  • in premises for production, cooling and curing
  • in air conditioning systems and air ducts
  • in cooling systems, for process and potable water
  • on conveyor belts, packing and bottling lines

The UVpro BFM module will be presented at Inter Expo Center during The World of Milk and Meatmania exhibitions 2017. This module is easy to install on packing and filling lines, and solves a number of key issues for makers of cheese, yellow cheese, sausages and other dairy and meat delicacies. The module focuses on radiation using a special reflector, thus deliberately affecting pots, trays, bottle necks, and packaging foil. The spread of bacteria and microorganisms in the packaging is terminated and the result is a hygienic production that retains its durability and freshness.

UVpro also allows wide-spread and very effective disinfection of air and process water. The air modules are suitable for use even at temperatures between -10 ° C and + 50 ° C, which purify the airflow entering the ducts, evaporators and coolers. The submersible emitter modules , in addition to water purification, also prevent the formation of a dangerous biofilm.

All Uvpro modules have a class of safety according to IP68, while the UVC lamps have teflon crack-resistance according to HACCP and IFS standards. The durability of the lamps in continuous operation is over 12,000 hours (about 2 years).
