UVC disinfection for the food industry

UVC light is a well-documented and chemical-free method for reducing bacteria, viruses and fungal spores in food production. NATDIS uses thoroughly tested UVC units for the disinfection of air, liquids and surfaces. UVC light inactivates anything with DNA or RNA and is an alternative to traditional disinfection methods. In the food industry, where requirements for hygiene, traceability and stable operations are high, UVC disinfection can be a valuable supplement to existing processes. The technology works without the use of added chemicals and can be integrated directly into surfaces in the production environment - in airflows, pipe systems and production lines.

Many food companies focus on minimizing the use of chemicals for disinfection in order to reduce environmental impact and improve the working environment. With UVC disinfection, a high level of hygiene can be maintained through solutions that safely and effectively inactivate microorganisms without the use of chemicals. 


UVC solutions for key areas of food production 

NATDIS supplies UVC systems that can be adapted to all types of food production – from small systems to fully customized installations. 

Surfaces & production equipment

UVC can be built into packaging lines, conveyor belts, crate and sorting systems, and can run 24/7 in shielded units. It can also be used in hygiene sluices and cleanrooms, where disinfection takes place at fixed intervals or when the room is unoccupied. NATDIS offers both integrated solutions and complete tunnel or sluice solutions as needed.


Water & liquids

UVC systems for liquids can be installed directly in existing pipe systems and are effective against bacteria, germs, viruses and fungi. They are approved for food contact and can handle flows from 300 to 100,000 liters per hour. NATDIS has experience treating everything from juice, oils, processing water and washing water to recycled water systems. 


Air disinfection

UVC solutions can protect against airborne microorganisms in production areas, sluices, cold storage areas and warehouse zones. The technology works in cold, warm, humid and dry environments and can be adapted to sensitive areas in food production.
