Longer shelf life in ship cold stores

Particularly high-quality, perishable foods are stored in the cold rooms. Their shelf life is crucial for the high quality of the dishes on offer and is also a decisive factor in the choice of products and suppliers.

If products spoil prematurely, the cause is usually the convectors in the refrigeration systems. They generate a constant air movement that distributes airborne germs and spores evenly throughout the room.

Gentle air purification

UV-C technology purifies the air according to a purely physical principle. It can be placed directly in the air flow and thus prevents the spread of germs. The consumption of disinfectants is drastically reduced.

Various technologies are available for reducing germs in the cold room:

UV-C attachment

With a UV-C attachment for the chilled beams, we use the constant air flow to keep the cold room air largely germ-free. The air is completely disinfected with every pass.

The mercury low-pressure tube from oxytec emits UV-C light of exactly 253.7 nm – the spectral line that has an optimal germicidal effect but does not produce ozone.

Unlike other systems, this does not change the composition of the air. This is because neither an increase nor a decrease in the oxygen content is particularly good for food.

The germ-killing effect has been proven in practical tests. 99.9% of harmful substances and germs were eliminated. Refrigerated food keeps significantly longer. The air no longer smells musty, but pleasantly fresh and clean.

As a download you will find information for the food industry in which the advantages of UV-C technology are impressively presented.

UV-C room air and surface disinfection

The UV-C surface device is a plug-in device that can be screwed under the ceiling of the cold room or in front of the chilled beam.

The devices can be used when there is constant air movement in the room. The UV-C radiation reliably inactivates bacteria, viruses, yeasts and mold spores and prevents germs from developing resistance. The appliance is fitted with a screen so that the room can also be entered without the appliance posing a radiation hazard. If required, the refrigerator door can also be fitted with a 230V safety switch so that the appliance switches off automatically when the door is opened.

UV-C surface disinfection

With the Freshair, we offer a plug-in, mobile appliance that can also be screwed under the ceiling or onto the wall.

The device reliably inactivates bacteria, viruses, yeasts and mold spores with a single air passage and prevents the development of resistance in germs. At the same time, the Freshair emits small amounts of ozone into the room, which also inactivates germs and allergens on surfaces. Radiation and ozone levels are nevertheless so low that rooms can be used permanently by people and food is not damaged.
