Why choose UVC in agriculture and industry?
Biosecurity and hygiene are about controlling the factors that can affect production. Microorganisms enter through air, water, raw materials, packaging, tools, and personnel. Effective biosecurity and hygiene are therefore rarely a matter of a single solution, but of identifying the critical points and reducing the risk where it occurs.
By implementing UVC directly at the critical points in air, liquid, or surfaces, we can reduce the risk associated with the critical routes of infection.
UVC ensures effective disinfection without chemicals or contact. UVC light inactivates bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms without the use of chemicals, leaving no residual products behind. A UVC solution can be used as a supplement to existing cleaning and hygiene procedures and help raise the overall level.
UVC can help protect operations and support stable performance without loss of operating time. Disease outbreaks, contamination, or bacterial growth can lead to production disruptions, additional cleaning, and increased costs. By reducing the microbiological load in air, water, and on surfaces, UVC can contribute to more stable everyday conditions.
UVC solutions can be installed in existing systems and processes. The solutions can be installed in ventilation systems, water and liquid systems, production lines, and as transfer chambers for goods and equipment. UVC solutions make it possible to strengthen biosecurity and hygiene without major changes to existing operations.
Effective disinfection without chemicals
UVC light is a well-documented technology for inactivating bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. UVC light inactivates microorganisms quickly and effectively and leaves no residual products or waiting time. UVC technology is increasingly used across industry, agriculture, food production, and pharma.
Whether the challenge is infection control on a farm, contamination in production, or bacterial growth in liquid systems, the goal is the same:
- Reduce the risk of unwanted microorganisms
- Support operational processes
- Limit operational disruptions
- Reduce chemical consumption
- Ensure a high and continuous level of hygiene
UVC systems can be integrated directly into existing setups or tailored to specific requirements. Our UVC solutions are developed for production environments and facilities with high demands for documentation, efficiency, and safety.
One technology – many applications
UVC solutions can easily be implemented into existing setups with plug-and-play solutions or customized solutions. Examples of application areas in agriculture and industry include:
| Application areas in agriculture | Application areas in industry |
|---|---|
| Incoming and outgoing air in livestock housing, for example against African swine fever and PRRS | Incoming and outgoing air in production |
| Transfer of tools and personal items into livestock housing | Hygiene protection of production areas, laboratories, and cleanrooms |
| Transfer of large goods such as big bags | Recycled water and wastewater |
| Outgoing air from washing systems or quarantine sections | Mold issues |
| Wet feed tanks and water tanks against growth of bacteria and fungi in the tank top | Lubricating oils and emulsions |
| Water and liquid systems | Hygiene zone transitions |
At Natdis, we specialize in analyzing critical infection points and creating customized solutions for each customer’s needs. We help reduce the risk of infection, contamination, and bacterial growth in air, water, liquids, and on surfaces.
Our experience ranges from breeding and multiplication livestock facilities to industrial production environments, where hygiene, documentation, and operational reliability are critical parameters.
Whether you are a farmer, operations manager, quality manager, advisor, or purchaser, we are happy to help assess where UVC technology can create value for your organization.
