MD3S 30-seconds UVC Knife Disinfection, Certified Alternative to Hot Water
Disinfects up to 3 knives in 30 seconds, with bactericidal effectiveness confirmed as equivalent to 82°C hot water treatment — without the water, steam or energy cost.
- DVG-verified, ≥4 log bactericidal effectiveness
- No steam, no scalding risk
- Replaces hot water sterilization stations
Hot water knife sterilization works, but it comes with real costs: constant water and energy use, steam in the production area, and a scalding risk for staff, all for a process that still needs regular downtime.
MD3S disinfects knives, including the transition to the shaft, in just 30 seconds using UV-C combined with a water rinse to remove residues. It’s been verified via DVG certification to deliver bactericidal effectiveness (≥4 log) comparable to hot water treatment at 82°C. But as a dry, chemical-free physical process with no steam released into the production area.
Because the UV-C emitters are fully enclosed and switch off automatically when the unit is opened, staff are never exposed to radiation or scalding risk. Facilities that switch from hot water stations typically see meaningful reductions in water and energy use alongside the safety improvement.
