High-Efficiency UV-C Conveyor Tunnel for Continuous Food Surface Sterilization | Customizable for Packaged Goods

High-Efficiency UV-C Conveyor Tunnel for Continuous Food Surface Sterilization | Customizable for Packaged Goods

Product Description:
Our industrial-grade UV-C conveyor sterilization tunnel is engineered to deliver non-thermal, chemical-free disinfection for food surfaces and primary packaging. Utilizing high-output germicidal UV-C lamps, it effectively reduces pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms (such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria) to enhance product safety and shelf life. The system features a highly customizable stainless-steel enclosure and conveyor belt to fit seamlessly into existing production flows.

Composition of Production Line:

• Infeed Conveyor Section (Synchronizable)

• Stainless Steel Process Tunnel with Safety Interlocks

• High-Output Germicidal UV-C Lamp Arrays (Top & Bottom)

• Customizable Reflective Chamber for Maximum Intensity

• Variable Speed Control Drive System

• Real-time UV Intensity Monitoring Sensors

• Exhaust Ventilation System (Optional)

• Outfeed Conveyor Section

• Main Control Panel with HMI Touchscreen

Technical Parameters:

Application:
Ideal for surface decontamination of baked goods, fresh produce, meats, cheeses, sushi, ready-to-eat meals, as well as for treating packaging materials like trays, clamshells, bottles, and films before filling.

Customization:
We provide extensive customization to meet specific process needs. Options include conveyor width/length, belt type, UV lamp intensity and layout, integration with upstream/downstream equipment, and material finishes (e.g., IP65 washdown rating for high-hygiene zones).

Feature:

• Chemical-Free & Residue-Free: Safe for food contact, no chemical residues or taste alteration.

• Low Operating Cost: Energy-efficient compared to thermal methods; minimal maintenance.

• Instantaneous Effect: Microorganisms are inactivated instantly upon exposure at the correct dose.

• Validatable Process: Enables critical control point (CCP) validation with dose monitoring.

• Hygienic Design: Smooth surfaces, easy to clean and maintain.

Support and Services:
Comprehensive support package includes installation supervision, operational training, performance validation protocol assistance, spare parts supply, and preventive maintenance contracts.

Packing and Shipping:
Equipment is securely packaged in weatherproof wooden crates with internal bracing. Standard shipping terms are FOB, with CIF/DAP options available upon request.

FAQ:

• Q: Does UV-C affect the taste, color, or nutrients of food?

  • A: When used at appropriate doses for surface treatment, UV-C has minimal to no impact on the sensory or nutritional qualities of most foods.

• Q: Can this system be integrated into my existing packaging line?

  • A: Yes. The modular and customizable design allows us to adapt the inlet/outlet, conveyor height, and speed to match your line seamlessly.

• Q: How is the effective UV dose controlled and monitored?

  • A: The system uses calibrated UV sensors and PLC control. The dose is controlled by adjusting conveyor speed and is logged for process validation.

• Q: Are there safety concerns regarding UV radiation leakage?

  • A: No. The chamber is fully enclosed with safety interlocks that instantly cut power to UV lamps if any access panel is opened during operation.

• Q: What is the lead time for a custom-configured system?

  • A: Lead time varies based on the level of customization. Standard models have shorter lead times, while fully bespoke systems require detailed engineering. We provide a project timeline after finalizing specifications.
