UV Sterilizer Features

Sterilizing equipment operating on the basis of ultraviolet rays, is used in the food industry, catering, in the service sector. The use of ultraviolet sterilizer in medical institutions and catering is a convenient way to disinfect instruments.

Operating principle

To understand what is based on, remember what is ultraviolet radiation.

Ultraviolet - is electromagnetic radiation, invisible to the human eye, whose wavelengths are in the range of 10-400 nm. It is biologically active.

By acting on living cells, such rays destroy the structure of DNA; as a result, microorganisms lose their ability to reproduce.But there are also UV-resistant microbes.

An infrared sterilizer is a type of disinfectant that, with high temperatures, is guaranteed to destroy all types of pathogens.

Kinds

The need for sterilizing equipment in many areas contributes to the emergence of devices for various purposes. The production of industrial and household sterilizers is very developed. These include devices such as:

1. Cabinets for knife sterilization and kitchen equipment.
2. Sterilizers for medical instruments.
3. Disinfecting machines for hairdressing and beauty salons.
4. Household disinfectants helpers, such as sterilizer for aquarium, quartz lamp and others.

To sterilize knives

At catering establishments (in cafes, restaurants, canteens) the UV sterilizer for knives solves the problem of disinfection and disinfection of kitchen equipment. Models designed for different number of knives have different shapes and dimensions, but have the same properties:

1. Steel case.
2. Bactericidal lamp that produces UV rays with wavelengths of 205-315 nm and capable of destroying up to 99% of known microbes.
3. The lamp must be protected by a steel grid.
4. Existence of the timer with adjustment of processing time till 60 minutes.
5. The door of transparent tinted glass that protects personnel from exposure to UV rays.

Placement in the form of wall cabinets provides ease of operation and does not take up extra space.

For medical instruments

Modern devices for medical instruments, sterilizing with the help of UV radiation effectively destroy pathogens that are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation.

The advantages of UV sterilizer over steam and air devices:

• has a small size;
• disinfection of any items does not depend on the complexity of the forms of tools;
• repeated sterilization does not lead to damage of the processed equipment;
• processing speed;
• safety of use.

For sterilizing manicure instruments

Ultraviolet sterilizers are successfully used in conditions when disinfection methods with steam or alcohol are impossible or difficult. UV rays strike only pathogens, but at the same time do not affect the environment.Due to this property, the processed tools do not lose their properties.

Consider the advantages of this type of device on the example of ultraviolet sterilizer for manicure instruments brand name Germix.

1. Compact device that easily fits on the table.
2. Easy to operate.
3. The speed of processing tools is only 15-20 minutes.
4. The ability to handle items from any material: metal, plastic, wood.

However, there are also pathogenic microbes that are resistant to UV rays. To destroy them, in addition to this method of sterilization, they also use a thermal method.

Using UV devices for sterilization, it should be remembered that in order to completely disinfect objects it is necessary to subject them to additional types of processing.
