Air Disinfection

The conventional ventilation and air circulation systems are not effective in preventing exposure to bacteria, viruses and microorganisms in enclosed areas. In food production air circulation systems, the spread of microorganisms leads to mould or reduced product quality.

With comparatively low investment, reap the benefits of the sterilAir UVC disinfection of reduced infection from air-borne germs and improved food quality in food processing areas.

There are different types of sterilAir air disinfection installations to suit the room space, purpose and amount of food traffic:

  • Air Recirculation Units – suitable for industrial and commercial areas such as food production rooms and laboratories, and are easy to install and maintained.
  • Wall Mounted Systems – a great for regular room space with normal foot traffic.
  • Ceiling Mounted Systems – generally used in production areas or laboratories where intensive air disinfection is vital.
  • HVAC Systems – which can be retrofitted in existing air conditioning units.

ESD-EX - Installation Kit for Air Ducts
The modular-design sterilAir ESD system operates in air-conditioning systems as an effective bactericidal "filter" with virtually no air-resistance, and it is offered as ready-to-install unit with a UVC tube, or as a double-tube version.

Airflow Disinfection that's Ruthlessly Efficient
The housing of the sterilAir ESD installation kits is made of a square, stainless steel tube. The electronic supply unit is built into this. To ensure optimal adaptation of the system to differing requirements, this type of device can be fitted with various UVC tubes from the high-efficiency range of tubes.


  • For fitting directly into air-conditioning and ventilation ducts

  • Modular and easily retrofitted

  • Also suitable for large airflows

  • Effective from -10°C – +50°C

  • Simple to install

D-Series Disinfection system for wall and ceiling installation
The sterilAir D-series protects products stored in cold rooms and warehouses. The system can optionally be supplied with a removable protective cover.

Reliable elimination of bacteria and spores
The sterilAir D-series is available in two sizes and performance levels. The system is made entirely of corrosion-resistant materials, while the casing in which the electronics are housed is made of brushed stainless steel (WN 1.4301). Special tubes are available for cold, wet and dry rooms, also with deodorizing O3 formation if required.

Because of the open distribution UV tubes, the standard system can only be used in rooms with minimal personnel frequency and UVC-resistant materials. The power control reduces the system’s UVC emissions to a prescribed non-critical value, whenever movement is detected in the room.


  • For night-time use in laboratories and rooms with no personnel frequency

  • Indoor air and surface disinfection

  • Also available with additional reflector, cover and shock protection

  • Easy to install and service

  • Variable cable lengths through M12 plug connector (V2A)

Versatile fields of application

  • maturing and storage rooms

  • areas without staff traffic

  • laboratories in the night hours

  • truck loading areas

Surface Disinfection

Sterile packages and transportation belts are one of the most important prerequisites in the food industry to maintain hygiene and quality of dairy products, meat and fresh produce. With UVC radiation, safe and reliable disinfection is guaranteed - without unfavourable effects of heat or unwanted additives, without any residue and within the shortest space of time.

Conveyor Belt Disinfection

In conveyor belt disinfection, sterilAir established a widespread standard in the design of systems for substructure installation. This installation type effectively prevents contact contamination of meat and fresh produce.

Belts and containers remain free from contamination even under continuous shifts, reducing downtime from shutdowns to sanitize food production surfaces. More production time means more yields!

Systems for Surface Disinfection

Superstructure systems are the traditional UV systems for surface disinfection. The UVC radiation is bundled with the assistance of special reflectors and then focused on the surface to be disinfected. The high radiation intensity incapacitates microorganisms in the shortest time possible. The very low surface temperature of the sterilAir appliances (~ 41 °C) also allows safe disinfection for materials that are sensitive to heat.

E-Series: ET Surface disinfection
This combination enables maximum effectiveness by targeting the UV-C radiation source directly onto surfaces.  It doesn't matter whether it is a conveyor belt, a fermentation cloth or the cooling coil of an evaporator.  The protective steel conduit also has a dual function: it protects the integrated UV-C emitter from breakage and also houses a reflector.

Applications


  • condenser/evaporator fins in cold rooms

  • conveyor belts in production

  • disinfection of films and packaging

  • fermenting cloth or fermentation hangers

  • locks for boxes or products

  • installation in machines

  • surfaces with risk of contamination

T2018 Surface disinfection system
sterilAir T2018 is a revolutionary new belt sterilization system. It was developed together with experts of the meat-processing industry. The system sets new standards in terms of disinfection performance, installation, handling, flexibility, hygiene and maintenance.

Food hygiene without compromise
sterilAir T2018 is pressurised waterproof (IP69K) and can be integrated flexibly and quickly. It impresses with its simplicity, functionality and a perfect hygienic design. The UV-C emitters are shatterproof and thus meet the requirements of the HACCP concept.

What is even more impressive: UV tubes can be replaced in less than two minutes - without dismounting the T2018 system or interrupting your production process.

Applications


  • For conveyor belts and wet areas

  • For particularly adverse operating conditions (IP69K)

  • Also capable for heat-sensitive surfaces

Water Disinfection

UVC treatment of water does not cause any of undesirable side effects that chemical disinfectants do – corrosion, foaming and odour formation, to name a few. It is a purely physical process that does not generate any undesirable side effects or residues. At the same time, the cost efficiency of this disinfection method is impressive.

E-series: EQ Immersed system
This combination has been specially designed for the submerged use in water. The back of the lamp holder does not have a plug connection for the supply cable, but the cable is cast in a fixed manner.

Areas of application:

  • wet and hybrid cooling towers

  • evaporative cooling systems

  • air washers

  • humidifiers

  • CIP tanks

  • cisterns

  • painting system

AQD-ST Stainless steel flow-through systems

sterilAir AQD-ST series of stainless steel flow-through equipment offer compact small systems with annular geometry up to six-flame UV-C systems with negative irradiation geometry. All relevant parts of sterilAir AQD-ST consist of a particularly high-grade stainless steel (WN 1.4404/ 316L), which have been additionally double pickled and passivated to increase the corrosion resistance.

Superior technology for sterility
Micro-organisms find ideal growth conditions within recirculated water or technical fluids. Chemical disinfectants lead to a number of undesirable side effects, such as changes in surface tension of the medium, corrosion, foam and odour. UV-C treatment of water does not encounter such problems. It is a purely physical process without chemical residues. At the same time, cost-effectiveness of this disinfection method is impressive.

Application


  • for turbid process liquids

  • grey water and process water

  • specific treatment of brine


AQD-ST 1
AQD-ST 3
AQD-ST 6
with one emitter for a flow rate up to 2,500 l/h
