Why use UV light disinfection machines in the food processing industry?

UV sterilization is currently a very safe, low-maintenance, and mature sterilization technology that does not require the use of any chemicals or pesticides. UV light disinfection machines are of great importance in the food processing industry.

Main functions of UV lights

UV lights can effectively eliminate viruses such as E. coli, salmonella and many other microorganisms that cause food spoilage.

UV sterilization lights also prevent insect infestations in fruits and vegetables and help prevent imported fruits from bringing insects into the country.

In addition, UV germicidal lights eliminate many viruses and bacteria, including the raging new coronavirus, molds, and spores, as well as fungi and yeasts.

As early as 1963, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began using food irradiation to treat yeast and flour to prevent insect contamination.

Significance of UV light disinfection machines in food processing

UV sterilization improves food safety, can extend food shelf life, prevent foodborne illness, control insect contamination, and even inhibit premature sprouting of potatoes and onions. We can find UV sterilizers for food safety in many applications, including:

1. Meat processing and packaging facilities use UV light disinfection machines in food sterilization processes, for example on conveyor belts where meat passes through. UV light can also be used to sterilize meat packing areas as well as container surfaces.
2. The use of UV sterilization is very common in the dairy industry, especially when packaging fresh dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. Just as pasteurization improves the health and safety of milk, UV sterilization improves the safety of dairy products during food processing. It should be noted that, although UV sterilization can effectively ensure that dairy products do not contain harmful bacteria and viruses, but still can not replace the use of high-temperature sterilization pasteurization.
3. UV light disinfection machine is used in the beverage filling industry to improve the quality of bottled water and juice. Such as packaging containers and lids using UVC treatment further ensures the safety of products and packaging.
4. Frozen Food Processing. UV food sterilization systems help eliminate potentially harmful organisms, thus providing better food quality and safety for the frozen food industry. By treating food before packaging and handling packages, UV sterilization can improve the quality and shelf life of many frozen foods.
5. Baked goods industry. Treating ingredients with UV light began with the treatment of flour and yeast to protect against insects and is still widely used in the baking industry. UV light prevents the growth of mold spores.
6. Fruit and vegetable treatment. Treating prepackaged fruits and vegetables with a UV light disinfection machine extends shelf life, reduces spoilage, and eliminates insects.

UV sterilizers are good helpers for food processing plants

UV light disinfection machines have a wide range of uses in the modern food processing industry. The majority of food processors who buy and use UV light disinfection machines can not only make their factory-processed food to meet the food regulatory authorities of the test but also to ensure food safety and improve their reputation.
