FARMING, STORAGE AND PROCESSING

UV-C technology is transforming the agriculture industry by enhancing sustainability and efficiency through advanced pathogen control. Its integration supports the growing demand for safer, cleaner, and more sustainable food production practices. With its ability to reduce contamination and improve overall hygiene standards, UV-C is becoming a vital tool in modern agricultural operations, ensuring a healthier and more reliable supply chain for consumers worldwide.

POST-HARVEST TREATMENT: UV-C is used after harvesting to sanitize fruits, vegetables, and grains, reducing contamination before transporting them to processing facilities.

GREENHOUSES: UV-C technology helps control mold, bacteria, and other pathogens on plants, improving crop health and reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

STORAGE FACILITIES: UV-C systems are installed in cold storage and produce warehouses to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria, extending the shelf life of perishable goods.

A 2022 USDA survey found that 84% of post-harvest handlers of fresh produce implemented at least one food safety practice to mitigate microbial contamination risks. (Source: USDA Economic Research Service)

UVC – SOLUTIONS PROVEN EFFECTIVE

MITIGATE RISK OF FOOD CONTAMINATION AT THE FARM AND PROCESSOR

MAKE FOOD… NOT HEADLINES

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS TO FIT YOUR NEED

UV-C technology offers a proven solution by inactivating pathogens on surfaces and in the air, significantly reducing contamination risks. This non-thermal disinfection method helps maintain food safety and quality without altering the properties of the products, providing a reliable safeguard for processors and consumers alike.

FOOD PROCESSING

UV-C technology is revolutionizing the food processing industry by offering a safe and efficient way to reduce microbial contamination across a variety of applications. From meat and poultry facilities to fresh produce packing houses and dairy processing plants, UV-C light provides non-chemical disinfection that enhances food safety and quality. By targeting pathogens on surfaces, conveyor belts, and in the air, UV-C helps processors meet stringent health and safety standards while maintaining product integrity. Its versatility and effectiveness make it an invaluable tool for ensuring consumer trust and compliance in all sectors of food production.

THE ONGOING PROBLEMS FOR FOOD PROCESSORS

FOOD PROCESSING: Food-borne illness outbreaks can cause significant economic losses for food processors. For example, the 2008-2009 Salmonella outbreak linked to processed peanuts resulted in one of the largest food recalls in U.S. history, costing the peanut industry millions and severely disrupting supply chains.

PUBLIC HEALTH: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year, 1 in 6 Americans (about 48 million people) get sick from foodborne diseases, leading to approximately 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. (Source: CDC)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that foodborne illnesses cost the economy approximately $15.6 billion annually. (Source: USDA Economic Research Service)
