UV technology in the food industry – cleanliness, precision, and sustainability

The demands for hygiene, product safety, and quality in the food industry are high – modern UV technology offers significant advantages. Whether in packaging printing or in the sterilization of surfaces, air, and water, UV light enables efficient, chemical-free, and environmentally friendly processes. Complementing UV technology, thermal methods such as infrared enable precise, contact-free heating where controlled temperature processes are required.

With innovative UV systems, companies focus on safety, efficiency, and sustainability – key factors for the future of food processing and packaging. In combination with precise infrared heating, processes can be tailored to meet specific hygienic and product requirements.

In packaging printing, UV curing delivers brilliant results, fast drying, and excellent resistance to moisture and temperature, while meeting strict food safety standards and reducing energy consumption. In sterilization, UV technology effectively inactivates germs, bacteria, and viruses without chemicals, enhancing microbiological safety and extending the shelf life of sensitive products.
