Innovative Decontamination Technology
At its core, the pulsed light decontamination system operates at an unmatched intensity. With flashes lasting just 0.3 milliseconds and delivering a powerful 1 megawatt burst, the light is potent enough to instantly destroy surface microorganisms. It’s a true example of innovative decontamination technology. For instance, the compact design of the latest cup unit allows installation in environments where space is at a premium, yet high performance is a necessity. In the case of purest water producers, Claranor’s solutions are the ideal choice to preserve the quality of the springs – handling speeds of up to 100,000 bottles per hour. The system can even be adapted to pharmaceutical applications, effectively replacing gamma-irradiation in critical scenarios. Every flash is a demonstration of advanced engineering working in harmony with biological safety.
Reliable Integration & Operational Efficiency
This technology is not confined to a single industry – instead, it finds successful application across food & beverage and pharmacy & cosmetic sectors, among others. Producers who require an uncompromising level of purity and efficiency in their packaging sterilization rely on pulsed light decontamination solutions for their versatility, operational efficiency, and reliability. The equipment’s compact nature supports easy integration, whether on a new line or as a retrofit in existing systems. Its high speed and low running costs make it especially attractive to companies processing vast quantities, ensuring that large production volumes are handled effortlessly without compromising on sterilization standards. There is a clear focus on reconciling ecology and economy, creating a win-win situation that benefits both business operations and the environment.
