UV Sterilization Tunnel: Advanced Solution for Product Hygiene

The UV Sterilization Tunnel is a cutting-edge machine designed to provide efficient and reliable sterilization for empty cans or similar containers before the packaging process. This equipment leverages advanced ultraviolet (UV) technology to ensure the highest levels of cleanliness and safety, making it an essential tool in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more.

Key Features of the UV Sterilization Tunnel

Comprehensive Sterilization Design

The UV sterilization tunnel primarily consists of two major sections:

• Sterilization Lamp Section: This area houses high-intensity UV lamps that emit germicidal ultraviolet radiation to eliminate microorganisms effectively.
• Conveying Section: A robust conveyor system ensures a steady flow of containers through the sterilization zone, maintaining uniform exposure to UV light.

Compact and Space-Efficient

Unlike traditional sterilization machines, the UV sterilization tunnel is engineered to have a smaller footprint. Its compact structure allows it to fit into production lines with limited space, without compromising on functionality or effectiveness.

Customizable Length

The machine’s length can be tailored to suit the customer’s working environment and operational needs, making it a highly adaptable solution for various production setups.

Enhanced Sterilization Power

With the use of short-wave UV light (specifically 253.7 nm), this sterilization tunnel offers stronger germicidal action, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens.

Technical Parameters

• Applicable Can Size: The tunnel can accommodate a wide range of container sizes, with body diameters ranging from 40mm to 130mm, making it versatile for different product lines.
• Cleaning Speed: Capable of sterilizing 30 to 50 cans per minute, depending on the desired sterilization effect and customer-specific requirements.
• Sterilization Method: Utilizes ultraviolet lamps with short-wave UV light (253.7 nm), a proven wavelength for germicidal effectiveness.
• Power Supply: Operates on a standard 220V 50Hz power supply, ensuring compatibility with most industrial settings.
• Power Consumption: The system is energy-efficient, requiring approximately 0.4KW of power.
• UV Lamp Quality: The UV sterilization lamps feature a luminous flux maintenance rate of over 85%, ensuring consistent and long-lasting performance.
• Customization Options: The number of UV lamps and machine configurations can be adjusted based on customer requirements.
• Machine Weight and Dimensions: The standard weight is 100 kg, with dimensions of L1500 x W400 x H1300 mm, though these can vary based on the custom length.

The Importance of Sterilization Before Packaging

• Eliminates Microbial Contamination: UV sterilization effectively destroys bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that could compromise the product’s safety. This is especially crucial in industries like food and beverages, where even trace contamination can lead to spoilage or health risks.
• Preserves Product Quality: By eliminating potential contaminants, the sterilization process helps maintain the purity and freshness of the packaged product, thereby extending its shelf life.
• Enhances Consumer Confidence: Ensuring a sterile environment for products prior to packaging builds trust with consumers, who are increasingly concerned about hygiene and safety.
• Eco-Friendly Solution: UV sterilization is a chemical-free process, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sterilization methods that rely on harmful chemicals or excessive heat.
• Improves Production Efficiency: The integration of UV sterilization into the production line streamlines the process, ensuring that containers are clean and ready for filling without the need for additional cleaning stages.

Applications of the UV Sterilization Tunnel

• Food and Beverage: Sterilizing cans, bottles, or jars for juices, soft drinks, dairy products, or canned goods.
• Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring that medicine containers are free from microbial contaminants.
• Cosmetics: Preparing sterile containers for creams, lotions, or other personal care products.
• Industrial Products: Disinfecting packaging for items that require a high degree of cleanliness.

Why Choose UV Sterilization?

• Non-Invasive and Residue-Free: Unlike chemical sterilizers, UV light does not leave behind harmful residues, ensuring the integrity of both the container and the product.
• Rapid Action: UV disinfection occurs within seconds, enabling high-speed production without delays.
• Cost-Effective: With low energy consumption and minimal maintenance requirements, the UV sterilization tunnel offers excellent long-term value.
