Low temperatures alone are not enough to eliminate all unwanted microorganisms.
UVC disinfection is a chemical-free, reliable technology that can reduce pathogens and cross-contamination in your production.
Listeria monocytogenes can replicate at temperatures down to 0–4°C, and microorganisms such as Salmonella and E. coli can remain viable for extended periods in humid micro‑environments. Moisture accumulation on ceilings, drains, or evaporators accelerates the formation of biofilms, which create protective barriers that chemical disinfectants and manual cleaning struggle to penetrate. For this reason, an increasing number of food manufacturers are integrating UVC disinfection as a hygienic safety in your production.
UVC light works around the clock. It can disinfect incoming and outgoing air as well as surfaces inside the cold room. By using UVC disinfection, we ensure continuous surface disinfection while staff are on their lunch break or at home. This ensures a stable microbiological baseline between cleaning cycles. When integrated properly, UVC becomes a part of a broader hygiene strategy. It acts as an additional hygienic safety layer, keeping the room stable and reducing the microbial fluctuations that typically occur between manual cleaning routines.
Manual cleaning depends on people. UVC depends on settings. Once installed and integrated into your routines, it runs with the same reliability every day. That makes it easier to maintain a stable baseline, especially in environments where moisture, airflow and traffic make contamination hard to control.
If you want clarity on how UVC can support hygiene improvements in your production, or where the strongest impact points are, we’re happy to help you map out the most effective strategy.
