UV disinfection for food packaging– 21-Nov-2011
For microbiologically demanding packaged goods, hygienic packaging is vital to maintain quality. UV irradiation is an environmentally friendly and economical method of disinfecting packaging materials. Bacteria such as salmonella and coli bacteria are extremely vulnerable and very easily destroyed. UV disinfection modules from Heraeus Noblelight have been specially developed for the disinfection of packaging and surfaces, such as in filling and sealing machines for drink products. Various shapes of pots and cups for milk products, sealing foils or bags, caps for glasses or bottle necks are effectively disinfected with UV radiation.
Successful wiping– 21-Nov-2011
Wiping is the most effective method of cleanroom surface cleaning; in all cleanrooms there is a need for repeatable and validated processes. Wipes that are presaturated with a low surface tension fluid, such as alcohol, are highly suitable for capturing and removing particles and dirt, disturbing biofilms and removing residues. Particle Attraction Technology (PAT) enhances the ability of the wipe to attract and retain fine particles of less than 10µm. Technique is also important to prevent the trapped contamination being re-deposited on a surface
Cleaning regimes: see what is missing– 21-Oct-2011
A new cleanroom tool makes invisible hazards visible and highlights areas that have been overlooked during the cleaning and disinfection process. UV light is emitted from a torch and excites the electrons in the atoms or molecules of the particles in question. These absorb the energy from the torch temporarily and emit it as light, making visible particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Futureproof pipework– 21-Oct-2011
The University Hospital of North Staffordshire in the UK chose modular stainless steel pipework from Jacob (UK) for what is believed to be the one of the largest modular pipework installations in an NHS hospital in the UK. Modular ducting and pipework is used in several locations, providing protection against, fire, explosion and cross-contamination
Keep control of consumables expenditure– 20-Oct-2011
Sales of cleanroom consumables are increasing, with gloves and wipes heading the list. Increases in the raw material price of latex have led glove consumers to consider alternative materials, such as nitrile and polychloroprene. For garments, there are fundamentally three options – disposable, reusable (laundered) or a combination of the two. The choice will be governed by the number of garment changes per week. If a reusable system is decided upon, consideration needs to be given to the choice of purchase, lease, lease-to-own or rental.
