Features of the UV Sterilizer:

  • Efficient Physical Sterilization: Uses UVC light to kills up to 99.9% of bacteria, molds, and viruses on food and packaging surfaces.
  • Non-Thermal, Chemical-Free Sterilization: Using UV-C light means no heat, no water, and no chemicals — perfect for delicate foods such as fresh produce, baked goods, and dairy.
  • Includes digital display controls for lamp status, working hours, and conveyor speed.
  • Easy to install. It supports customization of belt width, lamp quantity, and power.
  • The sterilization chamber is built with mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, enhancing light reflection and ensuring even exposure without blind spots. It also prevents corrosion and meets food-grade hygiene standards.

How Foodline UV Food Sterilizer Works?

The Foodline UV food sterilizer operates by exposing food or packaging to intense UV-C radiation within a stainless-steel chamber.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

  1. Conveyor Feeding System – Food or packaging materials enter the UV chamber.
  2. High-Intensity UV Lamps – 16 x 20 W UV lamps emit germicidal light to sterilize all exposed surfaces.
  3. Reflective Interior Design – The polished stainless chamber ensures uniform light distribution, minimizing shadows.
  4. Controlled Conveyor Speed – Adjustable speed optimizes exposure time and sterilization efficiency.
  5. Safety Protection – The sealed design prevents UV leakage and ensures operator safety.

FAQs About UV Food Sterilizers

1. What is the main advantage of a UV food sterilizer?
It disinfects efficiently without chemicals or heat, preserving food freshness while ensuring safety.

2. Can the UV food sterilizer handle both food and packaging materials?
Yes. It can sterilize both unpackaged foods and packaging surfaces before sealing.

3. Does UV sterilization change the taste of food?
No, UV light does not affect flavor, color, or texture — it only targets microorganisms.

4. Is the Foodline UV food sterilizer safe for operators?
Absolutely. It’s fully enclosed with interlock protection to prevent UV leakage.

5. How often should UV lamps be replaced?
Typically every 8,000–10,000 hours of use, depending on operation intensity.
