UV Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

Water is used in the entire food production process and as such, the quality of the water disinfection system for food production plays a vital role. In the food processing industry, the quality of water is given high importance as it decides the taste, colour, and odour of the product. Water also plays an important role in determining the shelf life of the product.

Bacterial presence in the water, used in the process of manufacture, can cause damage to perishable products, and can significantly decrease their shelf life while posing grave health risks. By using advanced UV disinfection systems for food processing industry, you’d be able to effectively combat this risk. Besides this, water used for washing of raw foods (in circulation loops) can also be disinfected and recycled after treating with UV to provide optimum safety, and to bring down costs of freshwater.

Products like ice-cream need to maintain their standard taste everywhere. Besides using standard ingredients, standardized quality of water also plays an important role. Thus, with Alfaa UV disinfection systems, you’d be able to achieve that standard water quality, as per specifications laid down by the FDA.
