UV disinfection for food packaging

Heraeus Noblelight has demonstrated the way ultraviolet (UV) light offers a cost-effective and efficient option for food packaging disinfection. UV disinfection modules from the company have been specially developed for the disinfection of packaging and surfaces. They are installed in filling and sealing machines for milk and other drink products. Various shapes of pots and cups for milk products, sealing foils or bags, caps for glasses or bottle necks are effectively disinfected with UV radiation. Combination processes of UV radiation and hydrogen peroxide are also used at the same time to achieve this objective. BlueLight UV cassettes from the company are fitted with UV amalgam lamps, which offer high intensity. The UV modules are immediately ready operation when supplied and are available in different sizes with two, eight, or 10 emitters.
