for surfacefor the food industryfixed

Overview The BlueLight® Small Area UVC Flash Disinfection System provides a fast, reliable, and eco-friendly solution for disinfection without the use of harmful chemicals or mercury-based light sources. This system achieves a reduction of more than 4 logs in microbial load, operating efficiently at high throughputs of up to 500 square meters per hour. Originally designed for disinfecting food packaging, such as beverage bottle caps, this BlueLight system is also effective on other surfaces that require disinfection, including organic materials.

Product details Built on years of research and development within the BlueLight product family, this system offers an efficient and high-performance solution for sustainable disinfection in food and beverage packaging processes. Its compact design saves space compared to wet chemical disinfection installations and the flash lamp module can operate at any angle allowing flexible machine integration. The Flash Control Cabinet (FCC) features an intuitive touchscreen HMI and is housed in a hygienic, washdown-compatible IP69-rated stainless-steel enclosure. The Flash Lamp Module (FLM) contains a dual-lamp cartridge for powerful photonic disinfection, a quick-change cartridge for fast lamp replacement, and a quartz glass breakage sensor for added process safety.

Ray tracing and performance Excelitas developed a proprietary ray tracing simulation tool to predict log reduction rates across a wide range of food packaging and materials, enabling tailored recommendations and demonstrating uniform results even on wet surfaces.
