UV Disinfection describes the treatment of air, surfaces or liquids using short-wave UVC radiation. Thanks to its cell-damaging effect, it represents an effective and chemical-free alternative to conventional disinfection methods.

UV-C technology inactivates microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi and is therefore relevant in a wide range of applications where reliable germ reduction is required.

For example, companies in the food industry use UV systems to minimize contamination and extend the shelf life of products. Beyond that, UV treatment plays a key role in many sectors, as it can significantly reduce or even completely replace the need for chemicals. This applies not only to water treatment but also to air disinfection and surface hygiene.

UV components and systems thus enable efficient germ reduction and can even create aseptic environments.

Without the use of chemicals

Do you have any questions or need support? We are happy to help you.

UV-C radiation is part of natural sunlight and a powerful tool against microorganisms. It works physically by disrupting the DNA or RNA of bacteria, viruses, and molds, preventing them from reproducing.

Why this matters for you

• Chemical-free & residue-free – safe for products and the environment

• Effective & reliable – protects your processes from contamination

• Versatile – applicable for air, surfaces, water, and odor reduction
