Disinfection without chemicals innovation

Suffolk-based Wedeco UV Systems plc, the worlds largest ultraviolet disinfection company have teamed up with Northampton company Arnott Conveyors Ltd to create a complete package solution for maintaining low-high care transfer barriers and thereby reducing cross-contamination problems. The system, utilising the latest ultra-violet technology, can also be used to treat the conveyor belt or the actual product surface as well, to reduce overall contamination.

UV disinfection is a universally proven and industry accepted method of effective reduction of pathogens on surfaces, in water or in air. A typical system can provide as great as 99 – 99.9% reduction of all common bacteria and viruses. Unlike chemical disinfectants, which rely on chemical oxidation to disrupt the life functions of micro-organisms, UV is simply light energy that cripples the DNA of harmful organisms. By disabling their DNA, the life functions of these organisms are interrupted, rendering them harmless. Because no chemicals are involved, there are no worries of handling harmful chemicals within the workplace, with their associated by-products and stringent COSHH regulations.

All systems are specifically designed to ensure maximum disinfection; they are individually tailored to the size and shape of the product passing through it. Each system is also designed and fitted with numerous safety features, making it totally safe for use by standard operators after minimal training. To maintain system integrity, every lamp is individually monitored and connected to both audible and visual alarms.
