Process Air without Microorganisms

Eliminates Microorganisms in the Production Area
(98.99% Sterlizing effect with UV-C Technology)

Using UV-C Technology, JIMCO has specialised in the elimination of microorganisms and odours.

Due to increasingly higher hygiene demands in the food processing industry, the use of UV-C light to eliminate microorganisms e.g. bacteria, fungi and vira is becoming more and more commonly used.

Using UV-C light to eliminate microorganisms in the air is a technique that has been known for decades. UV-C light reduces the total amount of microorganisms in the room breaking the DNA bonds in the organisms.

In the food processing industry, intake of disinfected fresh air together with bacteria-killing lamps installed in the air ducts of coolers has a huge effect (coolers for bread is just an example).

UV-disinfection - based on an exact calculated radiation rate - keeps the process air free of microorganisms and thus complies with local regulations.

STERILIZING UP TO 99.9% : JIMCO UV-C sterilization enhances the hygiene standards

A minor contamination with microbiology spread by air handling systems commonly used in the production areas may result in faulty commodity or a recall of the goods - an expensive measure for the company. To avoid this, a steadily increasing number of companies decide to sterilize the process air with UV-C light.

Depending on the calculated UV-C dosage, a kill rate of 99.9% of all microorganisms may be achieved. Together with the PLC-control, special UV-C probes developed by JIMCO A/S, ensure that the UV-C light is 100% effective.

Beside sterilizing the room air, UV-C sterilization may also improve the hygiene standard considerably in other processing areas (e.g. conveyor belts in cutters) or during packaging processes (conveyor belts, wrapping films etc.)

JIMCO UV-C sterilization directly affects the quality of your products:

Applications Examples

• Industrial Bakeries
  Reduces microorganisms when sterilizing production equipment in connection with room disinfection.
  • Manufacture of dough
  • Bread and bread cooling rooms
  • Bread slicing rooms and bread slicing units
  • Bread wrapping units
  
  
• Slaughterhouses
  • Meat storage rooms / meat storage shelves
  • Cold storage rooms
  • Sausage filling / sausage machines
  • Smoker oven rooms
  • Filling of tinned goods
  
  
• Dairies & Cheese Making Diaries
  Original cultures will not be contaminated by wild cultures in the air.
  • Milk tapping rooms
  • Cheese production / storage
  • Vessels (empty)
  • Production of ice (empty rooms)
  
  
• Breweries, Cider Mills, Fruit Storage Facilities
  • Essense /- Cold storage rooms
  • Vessel & Fermentation tanks (empty)
  • Rooms with fermentation tanks
  • Filler units / filler rooms
