JC Sample Washer - JC UV Conveyor

• Surface disinfection of packaged goods in food processing and pharmaceuticals.
• Sterilisation of small components and tools in manufacturing and laboratories.
• Post-packaging microbial reduction for various consumer products.
• Disinfection of items in cleanroom environments.
• Sanitisation of items in medical and laboratory settings.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on conveyor speed and UV intensity, typically ranging from a few metres per minute to over 20 metres per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, single-phase, 50Hz for smaller units, with larger systems potentially requiring three-phase power.

UV lamp type

Typically mercury vapour lamps, either low-pressure or medium-pressure, emitting germicidal UV-C radiation.

Conveyor belt material

Often UV-resistant PTFE, silicone, or specific grades of plastic suitable for continuous operation under UV exposure.

Typical footprint

For this class of equipment, lengths can range from 1 to 5 metres, with widths between 0.5 and 1.5 metres, depending on application and throughput.

Safety features

Commonly includes interlocks to prevent UV exposure during operation, emergency stops, and protective shielding.

• What types of materials can be disinfected by a UV conveyor?

  UV conveyors are suitable for surface disinfection of a wide range of non-porous materials, including plastics, metals, glass, and packaged goods. Effectiveness can vary based on material opacity and surface texture.

• How effective is UV-C disinfection?

• What maintenance is required for a UV conveyor system?

• Are there any safety considerations when operating a UV conveyor?

• Can this system be integrated into an existing production line?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
