Customer:

Global industrial group expert in pollination and biological control

Problem & needs:

The client who asked us to create this tailor-made conveyor contributes to the sustainable global production of high value-added crops. It is a major player in pollination and protection of organic crops.

Our client was faced with a problem of insect egg degradation during transport. Indeed, it was not possible to preserve them over long distances. The challenge was to increase the shelf life of eggs to transport them further and market them on new international markets. In addition, disinfection had to be automated to process industrial quantities.

Our range of expertise in disinfection in the food sector is vast. We respond to requests for product disinfection as well as requests for disinfection of packaging or food conveyors.

The UVRER solution:

To meet this demand, our design office looked into the design of a UV-C disinfection tunnel coupled with a vibrating conveyor:

  • Tests have been carried out in laboratory to prove the effectiveness of ultraviolet on product conservation issues
  • The combination of UV-C with a vibrating conveyor makes it possible to disinfect all of the eggs in a single layer, on all of their surfaces

Further information:

This disinfection system is adaptable to all types of bulk products. It is automated and works in “Plug & Play”. Fill the tank, turn on the device… It will take care of the rest!
