Hygiene in Bakeries: Photoclean Solutions for Air Decontamination
The industry—particularly the food industry—is constantly seeking solutions for microbiological and chemical air decontamination. Indeed, the methods used to produce, process, and package products in this sector make it particularly susceptible to microbial contamination.
Hygiene in bakeries, in particular, poses acute problems with serious consequences. PhotoClean has developed innovative solutions to address this issue: discover our exclusive technology!
Airborne Contamination in Bakery Workshops
The production of bread, pastries, and baked goods is inextricably linked to the presence of yeast, mold, and bacteria. Unfortunately, production conditions—such as high temperatures and humidity—foster the growth of undesirable microorganisms. These microorganisms can even contaminate packaged products through the air.
The consequences of air contamination in a bakery can be disastrous: it can affect the appearance or organoleptic properties of products, render food unfit for consumption, and so on. Ultimately, this results in a net loss for the business, not to mention the negative impact on its brand image.
While reducing the amount of preservatives, fats, salt, and sugar in industrial products is beneficial from a nutritional standpoint, it has the side effect of decreasing food’s resistance to bacterial contamination and mold in bakeries. It is therefore all the more important to control air quality in industrial bakery facilities and reduce contamination.
The Photoclean Solution for Air Decontamination in Industrial Bakeries
Based on a combination of a patented medium and innovative technology, our solution is particularly well-suited for combating airborne contamination in bakeries.
Where HEPA filtration—which is energy-intensive and logistically challenging—reaches its limits, UV radiation filtration, on the other hand, proves to be a very attractive option for the food industry. Photoclean has developed a unique and high-performance system based on a simple principle: the elimination of contaminants through photolysis—that is, the destruction of contaminants upon contact with UV-C rays. This solution offers several advantages:
- It does not trap particles and therefore has a small footprint;
- it targets only microorganisms, without filtering out inert particles, resulting in fast and continuous treatment;
- it consumes little energy, making it cost-effective regardless of the size of the premises.
