UV disinfection tunnel, also called UV tunnel, or UV sterilization tunnel, is a highly efficient ultraviolet sterilization equipment. Its working principle is to damage the DNA and RNA of bacteria through ultraviolet irradiation, thereby causing the death of bacteria. This equipment uses the powerful bactericidal ability of ultraviolet rays to quickly and thoroughly eliminate bacteria, viruses and fungi in the air, effectively prevent cross-infection and food contamination, and protect people’s health and safety. The ultraviolet wavelength of the UV furnace is generally 254nm. This wavelength has a strong killing effect on microorganisms, and a short period of irradiation can kill most bacteria.
The adoption of UV disinfection tunnels as a crucial component of the production line in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and biotech has been driven by the increasing demand for high-quality standards and reduced dependence on chemical processes. A UV tunnel conveyor system is designed to utilize UV light to eradicate bacteria. This UV treatment method offers a fast, cost-effective, chemical-free, and environmentally friendly approach to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, mold spores, algae, and yeast from surfaces, ensuring their safety and hygiene.
Effective UV sterilization processes are essential to prevent food contamination caused by tainted packaging. Therefore, UV tunnel systems play a pivotal role in sterilizing all surfaces that come into contact with food products, including containers, bottle tops, wrappers, and conveyor belts.
UV tunnels are especially well-suited for disinfecting food packaging and items during the food manufacturing process. By eliminating microorganisms, they contribute to higher product quality and aid food manufacturers and processors in extending the shelf-life of their products. The use of UV tunnels for sterilization helps food products retain their bulk, color, and freshness for longer periods by slowing down the maturation process. Furthermore, it reduces spoilage and waste by impeding the sprouting of potatoes, onions, and garlic. Leveraging UV light also minimizes cross-contamination and prevents insects from infesting dried foods.
UV disinfection tunnels are particularly widely used in the medical field, including operating rooms, wards, treatment rooms and other places, to kill and disinfect bacteria in the air and effectively avoid cross-infection. In the food industry, UV sterilization tunnels can be used to disinfect food processing equipment, packaging materials, final packages (vacuum packs, flow packs), etc. to ensure the safety and hygiene of food. In addition, in the chemical industry, UV disinfection tunnels are also used in water treatment, pharmaceutical production and other processes to play a role in sterilization and disinfection. | Chain width | 152mm |
