High-Speed UV Light Sterilization Tunnel for Food-Grade Pulp Molded Packaging - Conveyorized Inline System

High-Speed UV Light Sterilization Tunnel for Food-Grade Pulp Molded Packaging - Conveyorized Inline System

Composition of Production Line
This system consists of an infeed conveyor, a stainless steel sterilization tunnel housing high-intensity UV-C lamps, a powered outfeed conveyor, an integrated exhaust system, and a robust PLC control panel with real-time monitoring.

Product Description
Our high-speed UV sterilization tunnel is engineered for continuous, inline disinfection of food-grade pulp molded products like trays, containers, and plates. It effectively eliminates up to 99.9% of microorganisms, ensuring product safety and extending shelf life without the use of chemicals or heat, which can damage sensitive materials.

Technical Parameters

Application
Ideal for integration into automated production lines for:

• Pulp Molded Food Trays and Clamshells

• Disposable Plates and Bowls

• Egg Cartons

• Other porous and heat-sensitive food packaging

Customization
We offer extensive customization to match your production line. Key customizable features include the tunnel length and lamp configuration to achieve your specific log reduction target, conveyor belt material, and integration interfaces with your existing equipment.

Feature

• Inline Efficiency: Enables continuous, high-throughput sterilization without bottlenecks.

• Chemical-Free & Dry Process: No residues, no moisture, safe for paper and pulp products.

• Energy Efficient: Low heat output compared to thermal methods, reducing operational costs.

• Safety Interlocks: Automatic shut-off when the tunnel is opened for operator safety.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous display of UV intensity and conveyor speed.

Support and Services
We provide installation guidance, operator training, and a comprehensive stock of consumables like UV lamps. Remote diagnostics and technical support are available.

Packing and Shipping
The machine is shipped as modular sections for easy installation. All components are securely crated in weather-proof wooden boxes for safe international transport.

FAQ

• Q: What is the sterilization efficacy?

  • A: It can achieve a >99.9% (3-log) reduction of common bacteria and molds. The exact efficacy is customizable and depends on the exposure time (a function of conveyor speed and tunnel length).

• Q: Can it handle different product heights?

  • A: Yes, the tunnel's internal clearance is customizable during ordering to accommodate your specific product dimensions.

• Q: Is there any heat damage to the products?

  • A: Minimal. UV-C is a cold process, making it ideal for heat-sensitive materials like pulp mold.
