Convenience food: Effective reduction of germs

The German company KRONEN, used this year’s Fruit Logistica in Berlin to present their new UVC-Lock Germ reduction lock to a broad and international audience. “Our new UVC-Lock is able to disinfect the surface of packaging safely and securely,” states Stephan Zillgith, the director of KRONEN on their stand at the fair. “The new UVC-Lock Germ reduction lock can be used for convenience food. It is especially important for convenience food that the packaging of the product is thoroughly disinfected, and our germ reduction lock can perform that task.”

The UVC-Lock has been developed for the disinfection of many different surfaces of packaging materials such as boxes, crates, tools, etc. The UVC-Lock has been developed by KRONEN in close cooperation with the Swiss partner company sterilAir®.

“Germ reduction of 99.9999%”
“The machine can be equipped with a maximum of 20 sterilAir® hybrid tubes,” explains Stephan Zillgith, “ With the efficient arrangement of the hybrid tubes, specially developed by sterilAir®, an almost complete irradiation area is accomplished. And a germ reduction of 99.9999% is achieved.” The machine can also be used for the treatment of heat-sensitive products, due to the longevity of the UV-tubes, the low energy consumption and the low surface temperatures.

All materials are in the range of 50 x 50 x 20 mm up to 550 x 300 mm and can be disinfected with UVC-Lock. “The UVC-Lock, including the conveyor belt cover is completely made of stainless steel. This guarantees our customers the safe use of UVC radiation,” states the director.
