How to effectively kill bacteria in food packaging

[China Packaging Network] Heraeus's ultraviolet light system for the sterilization of packaging materials and conveyor surfaces protects our food safety.

The recent hot weather in Shanghai has made us uneasy. In such extreme weather, we need to protect our physical health. In terms of diet, in addition to the food itself, its packaging materials are also crucial, because microbiologically sensitive bulk foods require good hygienic packaging materials to safeguard food safety.

Surface sterilisation with Heraeus High-intensity UV radiation in the filling process in FFS machines (formation, filling and sealing machines) for milk products and beverages can significantly extend the shelf life of the product, helping food manufacturers save time, materials and Loss caused by return.

Heraeus Solutions Premium UV Sterilization System:

Advantage:

1. Low-calorie and dry methods are less energy-efficient and require no chemicals

2, preheating and processing time is short, optimizing the filling process

3, low maintenance UV system, according to the existing filling and sealing machine conversion, reduce operating and investment costs

Reduced bacterial adhesion by 99.9% - Fraunhofer test

The Heraeus UV germicidal system was developed specifically for the food industry. They can reduce the number of germs on the packaging surface by 99.9%. The test report of the Fraunhofer Processing Engineering and Packaging Institute in Freising, Germany, has confirmed this.

Low carbon emissions:

Climate change affects the behavior of companies, institutions and consumers and is a major challenge for the food processing industry. Food production and processing should be climate-neutral and sustainable, and Heraeus UV solutions support you to reduce CO2 emissions by using low-energy methods.

The ideal way to sterilize organic product packaging:

Ultraviolet sterilization methods do not add chemicals, so they are particularly reliable, safe and environmentally friendly. It meets the special requirements for the production of organic fresh foods and is ideally suited for the sterilization of food packaging materials.

Application examples of sterilization of packaging materials:

Fresh food (dry, paste, or liquid) packaging materials, such as flour, yoghurt, fermented milk, or milk, stored in the kitchen.

Sealing, sealing or sealing bags

Milk powder or milk powder bag

Packaging materials before cold filling, such as ketchup, sauces, jams, jellies (because of low energy consumption)

Cup, bottleneck or glass

Application example of conveying sterilization:

UV surface sterilization can improve the product quality and production process on the conveyor belt. The aseptic conveyor belt prevents cross-contamination and permanently reduces the total bacteria on the conveyor belt while shortening the cleaning interval between production shifts.
