REYCO Systems® introduces Ultraviolet Decontamination using Steril-Aire Patented UVC Emitters™

REYCO Systems® has partnered with Steril-Aire to provide UVC emitters™ that effectively attack and kill virus, bacteria, mold, fungus, and yeast in food processing plants. This Ultraviolet technology can be implemented to decontaminate food and processing equipment surfaces as well as the air within a facility.  

REYCO Systems® is pleased to announce its recent agreement to supply food-safe Ultraviolet light (UVC Emitters™) to the food processing industry. This UVC technology will destroy Coliform, Salmonella, E.coli, Staphylococcus, Listeria, and Anthrax through the disruption of the DNA or RNA structure at the cellular level. Ultraviolet light treatment does not require irradiation labeling and will not alter the look or taste of most food products.

Ultraviolet light has been proven to kill microorganisms including bacteria, mold, and yeast since the early 1900’s. Until recently, most UV lights produced low-powered emissions which became nearly ineffective at a nominal distance. In addition, this output decreased severely as the ambient temperature dropped much below 70°F. Sterile-Aire has removed these drawbacks with their new UVC Emitter™ technology.

These quartz-tube emitters are sheathed in a highly-engineered, FDA approved, film which insures that they are food-grade safe for in-plant use. Steril-Aire Emitters are designed to produce no ozone and generate very little heat. These new high-output emitters have 5-7 times the power of competitive UV lights while utilizing minimal energy and maintaining effective output at temperatures near freezing. Thus, Steril-Aire’s developments allow for this technology to be used in the refrigerated and chilled environments often found in today’s food processing and USDA facilities.

REYCO manufactures a wide-range of products to take advantage of the Steril-Aire UVC Emitter™ technology at various locations in your plant. We can provide patented UVC Tumbling Drums and Rollover conveyors to treat fresh vegetables, diced potatoes or frozen meat products. We manufacture standard size as well as custom designed UVC Conveyor Hoods which can safely target specific products being transported to the freezer or packaging line. Finally, we can provide strategically placed, UVC Emitters™ in Water-tight fixtures to allow for treatment below product belts or inside of vents, ducts, refrigeration coils, and air make-up units throughout your facility.

REYCO also has test tumbling drums and hand-held emitters that can be used to evaluate your products and analyze your processes before you consider an investment. We can discuss with you the potential contamination points within your facility and work with you to determine the optimum placement of Steril-Aire UVC Emitters™. Let us show you how you can provide safer products to your customers.
