UV-C Technology in Ready Meal Production

The main concern of Ready Meal producers is the shelf life of the product. The cause of short shelf life can be from one of the components or surface contamination due to the condition of the ambient air. Deconstruction of the product is essential to identify the route cause of the problem.

AA Hygiene offer a consultancy service to assist in finding the problem and offering a solution. 

Problem

In order to specifically prevent contamination with micro-organisms, Advanced Air Hygiene makes use of the germicidal effect of light in the form of UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation on a wavelength of 253.7nm changes the germs’ genetic blueprint and the cell dies.

This wavelength has a lethal effect on all microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, moulds, yeasts and viruses. Depending on the dosage, the disinfection rate can be as high as 99.9%. Chemical or heat treatment is not necessary and UV-C radiation does not produce any ozone whatsoever.

Advanced Air Hygiene disinfection systems represent state-of-the-art technology in accordance with the VDI 6022 standard.

Solution

Installation of a UV-C disinfection unit specially designed for simple wall or ceiling mounting in small rooms, for example AirTube C and AirWetech, or AirStream C for larger rooms.

These units have an integrated ventilator and work continuously around the clock. If an evaporator cooler is installed in the store room or cool room, our AirTube or AirStream V can also be deployed. The Compact lamp IP 65 can also be integrated directly in ripening facilities.

The result is virtually no more coating on the products and no formation of mould. This removes the need for chemical treatment of the products as well as saving money and being good for customers’ health.
