The new Premium UV module from Heraeus Noblelight has been specially developed to provide cold UV disinfection for food packaging. It offers a compact design, allowing easy retrofit within existing production lines, and features a lamp life of around 12,000 hours, three times that of competitive lamps. Its geometry fits it especially for in-line filling machines with four to twelve rows of cups.
The new module provides a positive reduction in germ count of up to 99.99% and can also be used to kill yeasts, spores and fungi. Its high 3 W/cm power is virtually free of any infra-red so that irradiation on packaging is fast and cold, which makes the lamp ideal for use with heat-sensitive products. There is no need for any additional disinfection products or chemicals.
By using air cooling instead of water cooling, the Premium UV module is extremely compact. It features an integral breakage detector for total product security and is protected to IP 67. The module’s high intensity UV radiation is available for virtually all of the unit’s operating life, falling by just 20% after 12,000 hours, so that the module continues to offer an economical and reliable disinfection solution.
Heraeus specialises in the production and application of high quality energy sources covering the electro-magnetic spectrum from ultraviolet to infra-red.
